Ok, so most of you know i'm looking to buy an SC300 but ive had no luck. Now theres one selling localy for $5900 1999 145K and its a gold package(with Gold emblems) BUT!!! Its an. . . . . AUTO =( Is a w58 swap easy? and how much is the labor ?? yay or nay?

 

LOL nothing is easy on these cars, I have not attempted it myself but in my research for other issues I have read a TON of posts on here and on the supra forum and it does not seem super hard, but costly and very time consuming. For something like this swap it is really going to depend on your mechanical abilities and knowledge. I say do ALL kinds of research before hand then make your decision.

 

I say if you REALLY want a manual, you should wait until you actually find one. It took me a year and a half to find mine and I'm happy with it, GL to you

 

i own an auto...whats wrong wi....err....n/m

I say wait for a 5-speed

 

Thanx for the advice guys. What would i do w/o CL!

 

i have a 5 speed that i might sell, Pm me for details.

 

wait for a 5spd. You can do the swap but it'll be such a bad taste in your mouth when you do it, and it doesn't work like its supposed to.

 

Pete knows what he's talking about

 

thanx guys =)

 

U got some competition, i'm looking for one in MD too. lol. U can never have too many sc's

 

99 for under 6k.... I would buy it

my car is always for sale...but your on the wrong coast

 

Get a 5 speed or you'll be kicking ur ***...

 

Right on about the coastal issue... A '99 SC300 would be going for around $12-14K here in WA.

 

id get it, but if you can be patient, then wait and look out for better steals.

 

It won't work if you don't know what you're doing. My car, a swapped 92 SC300, works like a factory 5spd car, no issues at all. I did all the work myself, and to be honest, the labor involved is ALOT easier than on a FWD car. You can get the whole thing done in a day, or a weekend.
