Auto to manual conversion next month, West minst, some feedback if possible! Options

[sinner96ST]

My friend tim claims he can swap an auto to a manual trans no problem. My question is, do you think this is really gonna be all that difficult?

Also, I've been following west_minst's posts here on the boards. Very intelligent guy. Listen to him! I have a question for you, minst, if you are reading this.

Have you done any transmission work? Any auto to manual swaps? Is it cost-effective, or should I just sell the celica and get one with a manual transmission? I'd love to hear what you have to say about this. You know everything about the engines we can use, I'd like to know what you think about automatic transmission conversions, if anything.

Oh, and I'll most likely have an auto transmission from a 96 celica ST here for sale. I ran in to some money, and I think right now, given the fact that my car has an automatic transmission, this would be the best way to go. Any advice guys? Wish me luck. Keep up the good postings.

I see what the problem now is with 6gc.net counterparts.

You need to find a good mechanic or a very handy person with cars.

To me, swapping a trans is not a big thing.

The big thing is price and parts just in case prob. pop up. Oh, not to forget the ecu not having the maps you like.

Otherwise, swaps are nothing.

Today, I launch my scoobie and broke the exhaust stay of the piping. I now have a terrible leaking noise which I hate.

This occur because of my Bridgestone Potenza GIII gripping more than the Toyo proxes RA1
