Almost anyone who has attempted or observed this swap will advise you to NOT try it!
It is VERY labor intensive,complicated and time consuming not to mention expensive! The best bet if you go forward is to have a 92 six-speed parts car setting alongside yours and move the parts over one at a time so you can see how they go on and how the wires hook up. The computer for the six speed will be a little different from the auto as will the wiring loom so you will need a schematic to figure out what wires will be different where they come from and where they go. You will have to add wires for the clutch safety switch as well as the switch that drops out the cruise when you step on the clutch. Of course the whole pedal assembly will need to be replaced. Have you tried to work under the dash of a C-4? The backup light wiring will be different since the switches are different. Those are a few things that come to mind quickly,there are probably dozens that I didn't think of ? Have you considered trying to find a six-speed car for sale and maybe make a trade? Or sell yours outright and buy a six-speed car? Your sanity will thank you!!!! There were 5,487 six-speed 92's built,surely there must be one for sale?
If you go forward with this,please keep a running thread going on here to keep us up with what is involved? Also one of the side effects of the swap will be to make your car worth less than it would have been. A wise buyer would check the numbers.
