AUTO to MANUAL, PARTS HELP! Options

[tranxendz]

Ok I need parts list to do a manual swap!

I have this guy quote me $1500-2k to do it for me...

Does anyone know how to do this?? Should I do this on my own?

is that price for parts and labor? cause if it is, then thats about how much it cost me to get it done. about $1000 for parts i sourced myself and $1000 for labor. I did not do it myself bc i do not have the facilities or the means to do it. But people who have done it themselves say it takes a long weekend, 3-4 days. But make sure you have EVERYTHING before you start. This is the main reason mine took so long int he shop to get done. Well, i did have everything, but one of the peices i gave them was cracked, i.e. the flywheel. So i went ahead and just bought a brand new one. Here is the parts list i used... seemed to cover everything.

-Tranny
-Shifter/cables
-Flywheel
-Clutch Master cyl.
-Slave cyl.
-New clutch
-Clutch metal fluid lines
-Rubber clutch line
-Flywheel bolts
-Pressure plate bolts
-Clutch pedal assy.
-Manual brake pedal assy.
-Tranny fluid
-Brake fluid for clutch

Try and get as much as you can from a Junkyard, else your alternative is new aftermarket stuff or toyota... and they will rape you with prices. But some things like the flywheel and pressure plate bolts you should get new from toyota.

PM me if you have questions. But keep in mind that all i did was source the parts, i paid extra to find the best stuff i could, and then give it to my mechanic who took care of the rest.

Ive been very happy with the results. It would be cheaper to just sell your celi and buy a new one, but if you are attached to YOUR car and YOUR specific car like i was, then this is a great invesment into your driving enjoyment.
