well for the longest time i have been troubled about what to do with my transmission..... and since my car is turbo now the stock auto. isnt gunna cut it. so naturally i thought i would just have it built and move on .... but im sorry i just cant live with auto. any more espcially after everyone sees my car looks at the engine and their first response is ... wow thats really nice ill bet its fast or i get nice turbo set up or other things ... but then they get inside my car and i hear "oh its an automatic????" very sad so ive decided to do the auto to 6 speed swap i know it will be very expensive and very time consuming and well just a ****** to do.
now keep in mind i am very ... retarded when it comes to transmissions so im going to need alot of help from you guys so here i go with the questions

should i buy a new 6 speed or just try to find a used one from a supra guy? can i use the 6 speed drive shaft or will i need a custom one? exactly what parts from the rear end will i need?
i know that i will need some of the obvious things like shifter assembly and pedals but what else will i need? ive seen a write up of this done to an auto supra is it close to the same? will i need to modify my subtunnel(cut part of it out)? and finally who has actually done this swap???


thanks in advance to all who can help me out

well those people are idiots because auto wins races. don't listen to those ricers.

it would be a lot less costly and more effective just to get a built auto through boostlogic or whatever.

what turbo setup you running?

TurboB6

Disappointed since its auto? Wow they must not follow drag racing very much.

Get a th400 or built auto.

Yeah, what you guys are saying is tryue, an auto can be faster. But they just arent fun to drive

It isn't that hard to convert. I had an auto in my car and when I did the GTE swap, I through in the 6 speed with it. I didn't purshase the manual brake pedal, instead cut mine in half. You will need a custom driveshaft and it's best if you look for a 6 speed rear end (hard to find and expensive). You wont like the auto tt rear end (3.76) with the 6 speed trans. I'm still looking for a 6 speed rear end to finish up my swap. You're also going to have to cut alot to fit the 6 speed. I didn't have to bang the tunnel at all, like some said, but I did have to cut where the shifter goes.

I can take pics if interested.

exactly.

The 2jz-gte manual transmission uses a completely different accessory drive belt tensioner assembly, so you'll need to change that out also.

You dont need it

I am selling my 6-speed and all acessories for sale, all you need is a deiveshaft(mine failed) I'll bump my post in the for sale section. Also you will be more than happy with a auto rear/ 6-speed I ran it and so do many people on SF, look around.

Damn..... Im planning on going 6 speed too but I guess you beat me too it... Oh well, good luck w/ the project

Does anyone have a complete list of parts for the auto-to-manual swap? I know it's been listed in other theads but it's not a complete list.
