97 SC300 - is it possible to convert from automatic to manual trans?

If so, how about a rough idea of cost and time?

Thanks,
Harpo

 

Search first b4 you made this thread...

 

 

I did search. What I found was many threads asking the question, much speculation, and no agreement whatsoever. Here's the most popular answers:

"Buy a 5 speed car."
"Search before you ask."

Looks like the short answer is actually "I don't know".

Thanks so much,
Harpo

 

2000-2500 depending on what transmission you use and misc parts. give driftmotion a call, they can probably provide every single part you need.

 

Im going to make a thread about this subject that should get sticky'd.

Also, If youre not going to help someone then keep quiet.
Youre not getting "cool" points for saying "search".

 

Thanks, Trufanatic - this is helpful!

To the OP. There are infact tons of threads about this. I know because I searched. heres what came up when I put "manual swap" in thea search function. 410 hits!! Use it. it works. Comb through everyting and try to ignore those threads that look like this thread.

Here are just a few. I'll assume that when you say "cost" you mean the cost of parts, and not labor.

 

Thanks much, Lemmie. The first thread you mention is great, and should be stickied:
