Heres a list off the top of my head of things that I've bought:

-S54 transmission (w/ clutch disk, p/pt, flywheel, shifter cables & slave)
-Master
-Soft line
-Soft-Master hardline
-Shifter assembly
-Boot
-Knob
-Boot trim
-3 quarts of 75/80w90 gear oil
-Clutch tool (20 spline, 1.06"; I couldn't find an exact fit one, so I bought an adjustable one from Napa)
-Lots and lots of electrical supplies (I made my own harness)
-Motor mounts (I changed them out while was at it because w/ the GT, the motor will be floating; if you don't want to change, only the driver side mount is different, but you can take a grinder and cut off the extra bracket)
-Lots of other misc.

All and all I'm about $1200 into it but I had to drive up to PA to pick up the tranny.
And to think I coulda just gotten another auto for $350 laugh.gif

Its fun, its frustrating, and it requires a lot of patience, but I'm glad I'm doing it.

Also, toyodiy.com is your best friend for finding part numbers for those last minute trips to Toyota tongue.gif
