I got a new F40 6 speed from 2006 Pontiac G6 gtp, you can find them at
car-part.com for $400 bucks new. Shifter and cables from 2007 G6, jackshaft same car ,I also got original dualmass flywheel and clutch in case i need it , i paid $200 for those parts when i went to michigan to pick up the trany. Axles are from 2006 G6, cost for both $200. The axles shafts are 3" to long , i had them cut sleved and welded for now, i am geting new custom length axles from RCV perfomance any day now. I don't trust cut+welded axles . New ones are gurantied against brakeage. The trany mount i used the stock one but did some modifications to it, same with the trany braket stock but more modifying. The spindels came from 1999 - 2005 grand am , the hub bearing from grand am is direct fit for G6 axles. Spidles and grand am balljoints are direct bolt on . I used clutch master and line from 2000-2005 cavalier, the line is direct plugin . here are more pictures

The first gear feels the same as in the 5 speed, brembo brakes i don't think you can do the swap using stock spindle but not impasible, i used the grand am spindles , some modifications to rotor and spindle, like expanding bolt patern on rotor , expanding holes in spindle for caliper to bolt in. Picture of my new axle shafts from RCV performance guaranted against brakeage
