If the motor is bad I saw Suprastore selling OEM motors with auto trans for 3k shipped. So the motor is cheper than the 6 speed trans, and to convert a auto to manual is going to cost more.

I heard that Canadian cars have KM/h like we have here in sweden, how can I se on a Supra if it is from Canada or US?

You can probably determine this from the VIN# (vehicle identification number). Share this number with Toyota and most likely they can help you track down the original selling point. Here's some more information on VINs:

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
