1997 XJ auto to manual swap

Hello! Long time listener first time caller.

I have a 97 XJ auto, a guy is selling a 94 Manual locally. I have read about auto to manual swaps.

I know 94+ should be an external slave AX-15.

What I don't know and haven't found, is whether all of the other components I need will swap over from a 94 to my 97.

Having done this on a 97 i can say it can be done. I have a 92 trans in mine. I swapped the nose on my original external slave to the 92. And everything went together well drive train wise.

However i have another 97 that gave all the other parts as well so i had bolt in pedal and clutch assemblies as well as a 97 manual ecu which i needed to pass smog here in california.

That link is fairly thorough.
