All the info you need is at this link:

Ime, it'll definitely cost much more than the difference (parts+labor), so you're much better off to keep looking for a 6spd if that's what you need.

As an additional item to consider, note that an automatic is significantly more consistent, as well as being significantly faster in the 1/4 mile. Of course, it's also a lot less difficult for the driver. If you want to drag race your 94 TT, you might want to reconsider your desire for a 6 speed. On the other hand, if you want to roadrace (which is what the Mkiv Supra's jza80 chassis & suspension was designed for), I agree a 6 speed is a much better choice.

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.
