UMW only brought in the 1.5 with autos.

Reading old forum post suggests 1.3 manual and 1.5 manual boxes have different ratios. So you're better off to swap both engine and gearbox. But starting with a 1.3 manual is probably a good start since it'll already have clutch pedal, clutch pump and other manual specific parts. I would reckon it's best to source a 1.5 manual half cut but not sure if any available.
