Okay so earlier i asked what would be better for me regarding my two celicas and i decided to switch my st into a gt. I have a gt and st, but i want the hatch (st) instead of my coupe (gt). I looked around on here for how-to's but i didnt find any. This is my first swap and its a temporary thing until i sell my coupe then i will buy a 3s and replace the 5 from the hatch. Can someone guide me on doing this swap? thanks!

well you are doing a difficult swap, going from auto to manual requires alot more work, but since you have a donor car it should be fairly simple. i suggest pulling the dash out to make it easier to install the clutch pedal and master cylinder. you will also need to change the tunnel to support the shifter cables. but maybe some slight mods will be enough. please take tons of pictures and post them.
