Only one person that was on this list has done this, and it was actually years ago to his 2G. Justin Gabrius or something like that and he lived in Michigan IIRC. Anyways, what I'm getting at is no one has done this on this list so you'll need to research what is needed and how involved you want to get. This probably would be easier to just go get a 5sp and AWD over doing all this but...

"Micheal Hamilton has done this on an unspecified 1G FWD. Read his VFAQ (http://www.ecanfix.com/~mdhamilton/autotomanual.html) for a list of parts, tools and procedures to follow. Even with the VFAQ, it is complex procedure requiring an estimated at 9 hours, install only, plus additional time or cost for removing/acquiring the required transplant parts."
That link again for the tansmission swap in a 1G:

Search around and you may find one for a 2G, but this is all I could find in a hurry.
