I just finished this. You need hydraulic clutch lines, master and slave cylinder, tranny, clutch, pedals, flywheel, and a mess of other things...oh and lots of $$$. The lines run from the firewall by the column to the drivers side front of the tranny. No linkages./

What is wrong with your auto and what model is it? Reason I ask is I have been thinking about changing over to a auto.

yup i just checked after work it is a 727 i also drained the fluid at the shop and it looked mint. it looks like someone welded a plug into the pan which made it extremely easy. i hate having to drop a full pan. i did drop the pan as well and the valve body looks good. man i wanna shift some gears bad

nope gassers didn't come with g360s as far as I know. And no the auto xfer case won't work, too little splines compared with teh manual xfer case. You'll need a new xfer case!

I beleive a bearing on the shaft requires that the housing be machined.Someone on one of the 2nd gen forums had a 1st gen 4x parts truck with getrag that he was considering installing in his second gen but that won't work so you might PM him and make a deal for all.
