The 7mGTE and the Tranny question
 

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!

Hey man do yourself a favor and forget about the 7m unless you have another car to drive around..There are guys that have taken months or years to get it done running perfect..

Alrighty, would a 6m be better? Or is it best just to leave the original in there with a rebuild?

The 6m is a direct swap..You just have to put your external peices and she screams..Find a 7m turbo manifold,turbo,intercooler and piping and blowoff valve..Then you will have just as much power as the 7m or more..Here is a link for ya..

I don't know about auto tranny mounting with the 7m but I do know that the 7mge and 7mgte will bolt straight up to the w58 manual tranny. I checked in to that but found out that you would have to get the complete electrical for the 7m, would not work off of the 5m electrical

^^ Great!
 

Awesome :D You guys are so pimp!:bow:
