Has anyone done this conversion? How do you like it? what all is involved? what year of T5 should be used? late model motor originaly had an AOD, will I need to replace the pilot bearing? Will the transmission yoke need to be replaced? Is the cable kit a good idea?

Many questions...... any and all input is appreciated.
