ST185 Celica - Includes 3S-GTE Engine, 5-Speed AWD Transmission, and Fuel Pump $2,095
I saw this on www.jarcoinc.com, it says "AWD transmission 5-speed". Would this be able to turn my automatic into a manual? Or would it require alot of work. This post has been edited by bloodrain: Mar 14, 2005 - 11:22 AM -------------------- To live, is to suffer

yes, you will have the pars to convert it to a manual. But you will not have AWD. you will need both front and rear of the car. and will have to do a lot of custom work to make it AWD.
Do a search for about awd onversion. It has been covered alot. |

Dont use the ST185 transmission in your swap.

If your happy, then keep it. If you do a swap, you can keep it auto, or switch to MT. If you switch to MT you will want to get a gt tranny or a camery v6 one. Just dont get your heart set on the awd swap.. imo its not even close to worth it. |

would be nice to have an AWD, but its not a must. Also, I dont really care if its stick or auto, Im just tryin to figure out how much it would cost to have the engine swapped and get everything I need for my car to run with the new engine. manual or not, as long as it runs nice.

so would it be easier and cheaper to make it a manual? I wouldnt mind having a manual either, because in the "racing community" they look down on the auto owners, lol
