The 7mGTE and the Tranny question

panda-supra · 09-14-2006, 03:21 AM

I'm hoping (okay maybe dreaming XD) about slapping a 7mgte(or 7mge) into my 84 babygirl p-type, but she's got an auto-tradgic tranny and most of the websites that I've read seem to be talking about the W58 Manual. How does a 7mgte swap affect how the auto tranny bolts in? Is there anything that needs fabrication or should I just get the tranny rebuilt and call it a day?

Sometimes I do think about doing an auto to manual conversion but when I talk about it most people scoff and say it does a Supra no favors and 99% of the time the conversion ends very badly for car and frame. So I was hoping to get some opinions from the Supra experts here about said conversion.
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty sure this car has been rear-ended and she came to me with some ghettorized headlights (someone fried it and didn't put it back right). Thank you much all! Much Supra-Love!
