tranny
clutch cable
clutch pedal
1 of the axles are different
clutch/to bearing
ecu if you don't want a check engine light and 5k redline
shifter
shifter cables
I'd have everything avail. for this swap if you're interested.
I changed my 96 sohc atx to mtx. best mod you can do.

transmission mount

you will have to check the speedometer gear it might be different, depending on the year you get the trans from it will be different

i had to wire the newer plug on my speed sensor, i get no 5k rev limit with the ATX PCM, still 6700, only mod is hooking up the neutral switch to the clutch switch & reverse lights - neutral switch, ground the center wire on the 3 wire plug on the front of the ATX to get the engine to turn over

might help to get a wire harness from a mtx...then you wont have to rig anything.....you can use the speed sensor out of the automatic trans, you just need to switch the speedo gear on the end that goes in the trans

good luck with that, im about to start that tommarow my auto was working just fine til i ran over a deer, thats right ran it over not hit it but ran the damn thing over. i was draggin a hemi ram and he knocked it over and sent it into my lane. anyway i have all the parts too so hopefully ill just be checkin back here to re check to make sure im not screwin it up. also my last question is the trans i have is from a 96 neon RT and its goin on my 95 SOHC, will a pt clutch fit it because id like a high performance clutch for it if not any ideas?

pt cruiser clutch will work....but unless you get an upgraded one, its not going to be "high-performance"

the trans is not from a 96 r/t....the r/t's are 98-99

The PT clutch is better than the neon clutch though...for sure. I have one.
