I was at the junkyard a few weeks ago and pulled some of the manual swap parts from a 2010 6 speed 2L CC with no issues. It was a good experience on the work I’m for when I pull my car apart. I’m not looking forward to pulling the heat shield and driveshaft.
When pulling the clutch pedal it was a pain to find the top nut. I had a friend send me pics from all data to verify its location as its somewhat hidden. The pics are below.
I also forgot to bring my factory brake pedal release tool and broke the clip but that’s fine it’s available separately.
When I do this manual swap I plan to pull the engine and transmission to do chains/guides and all other high mileage maintance items like water pump, thermostat hoses and what not.
The parts I was able to pull:
