Default A/T to M/T swap

I know this has been covered a million times on the forum but I cant seem to find any of the posts on it. I need to know what parts I need to swap the trans.. Tell me if I'm missin anything.

M/T from a 95 Neon (flywheel too)
Shifter
Shift cable
Clutch & brake pedal ssembly
Clutch cable
Right side cv shaft
PCM from a DOHC neon with a m/t

Is there anything else I need than this? I know that I need the mount off the m/t aswell but I feel like there is something missing.

Dont want to sound stupid but whats a bobble strut? lol I havent really worked on any m/t's and this will be my first.. I know how to swap it and will probaly have my dad help me out with it.. I did know about the clutch and pressure plate, thanks for posting it tho ... Also this is a used trans from a junkyard, not sure of the miles on it right off but should I have it gone thru by a pro or anything? Is there anything I should replace when doin the swap?

A bobble strut is basically a small shock absorber located on the rear of the motor.

Don't forget the fluid.

it might be a good idea to have it gone through...you dont wanna do all the work and find out the trans is actually no good...
the bobble strut ounts to the rear of the trans and connects to the cross member...its used to stabelize the trans during acceleration...it looks like a small shock....

make sure the mount is in good shape and dont use a used clutch...get a new one...and get a new throw out bearing...that way you dont have to rip the tans out a while later to replace them all then.....
