Has anybody ACTUALLY done the auto to 5 speed or even more interestingly the auto to 6 speed conversion? I'm def going to try and do it this winter while the car is away but I'm searched CL and havn't found anyone that actually did this. Anyone...?

Should I assume no one has done this...? Or post in the sc forum? mods?

There are dozens of auto to 5 speeds on here, the parts sell quick when they come up.
There are also a fair amount of 6 speeds here too.
What exactly do you want to know?? Have you searched 6 speed & 5 speed on here?

check supraforums and maybe clubna-t also

Sounds good thanks! I'm wondering what kind of cost is involved including the driveshaft/ clutch and all that good stuff, and the rear end. I'm also wondering if the engine must be removed to do this or if there's enough room just taking out the tranny?

Can be done w/ engine in. '95 & up I understand there's no mods to the tunnel.
On my '92 I used a supra tunnel section & grafted it on to mine.
check: MKIV.com auto -> 6 speed conversion
It shows the piece I used & basic install of the conversion on a supra.

Price?? alot: rough guess's lets not flame here.

6 speed conversion:
V160 trans 2-2500
6 speed driveshaft 2-300
lengthen driveshaft - I paid 250 w/ balancing
clutch - search - 7-800 w/ flywheel? My TRD twin plate was 1400
differential 1000?
axles 300

Those prices sound about right .

where do you find the axles....do you have to get them from the dealer? I never see anyone selling them.

You can get them brand new. When the Supra rear was being put on my SC300, one of the half-shafts that came with it was damaged from shipping, so I got a new one. From Curt Aigner, I think.

Tranny has to be cheaper than that though... what about a stock sc tranny from like a 97 with miles on it. Since you'd be putting it in with a new clutch and all it would be good as new right? $1000 maybe?
