I've done searches on different sites and wondering since I have a bad transmission if I should do the swap to a manual transmission.

I did some searching on the forum but info seems to be scattered at best

Would a stock 5 speed be best or is there a mod that could be done?
What else would I need?

The automatic transmission is the electronic controlled version A140E paired up to the 5-SFE
95 Celica GT Convertible
Bad auto transmission sitting on ground, car is up on jack stands

Details about the car can be found in my profile.

There is a thread in the how too section of the forum on how to do this. I am just about done with my manual swap on my 95 get convertible. I just bought a parts car, much easier than trying to hunt down all the parts. But check out the tread, has a parts list and all.

Found a 94 possible ST (they put LS and says LS on title but Celica doesn't make an LS). It's a 1.8L hatchback model. Would the flywheel and everything work for the 2.2? If so then I may have found my part car.

let me tell you this, if you have a 5S-FE auto and want to swap to manual, look at the thread i did a V6 swap in an ST auto.

its actually 10,000 times easier to do a manual swap in a 6th gen over a 7th. i been at it for 4 days now and still not done in a 7th gen. the 6th gen took a few hours.

here is the thread http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...p;#entry1056112

Shouldn't be hard, just find a donor car, the cost will Drive up dependent upon mostly on your clutch and flywheel choices
