Auto/manual conversion checklist:

Manual tranny
Flywheel and bolts
Clutch kit (and pressure plate bolts)
Driver's side mount for manual
Shifter assembly
Shifter cables
Clutch pedal assembly
Brake pedal (or grind down your stock one)
Clutch master cylinder
Clutch slave cylinder (if not included with tranny)
Clutch lines
Manual ECU or wire in resistor box for the auto ECU



I just wanted to put this down so that I don't have to retype it every time someone asks me how to do it smile.gif

Feel free to add thoughts and comments.

-Doc

I can usually get everything in that whole list for about $700.

-Doc


is that including the labor? with everything installed? is 600 cheap for a full swap labor included? there is this mechanic that has a 5th gen celica, when i had a conversation with him he sounded like hes knows what hes talking about but i havent seen any of his work..should i trust this guy to work on my car? another thing is how long does a transmission convertion take? days? weeks?? sorry i know im such a noob and needs to be researching and reading article about this, just wanted to hear you guys's opinion about this...

700 is just parts.
tranny swaps like that normally are a weekend thing when we do them.
