ooh boy, auto to manual tranny swap question.

[ochowdero]

i want my 87 supra (N/A) to be manual.
whats the best route to take.
there is no way to trade the car for a 5 speed, or buy a project 5 speed either.

so what can i do?
this is a really big issue for me..
can i take a transmission and motor out of a similar car? if so would it be worth it?
any help please, like ive said this is a really big issue for me...thanks

You can swap a 5 speed in but you need all the parts like transmission, clutch, clutch pedals, master and slave and hard lines And you have to do something else to the wiring I think to

[ochowdero]

i know that, but nowadays you can seldomly get ahold of a supra 5 speed tranny...
is there any other car i can take the tranny out of?

Toyota Cressida some years had 7mge in them

you need:
w58 5 speed transmission
front half of drive shaft from a 5speed
clutch and brake pedals from a 5 speed
hard line that goes from master to slave clutch cylinders
master and slave clutch cylinders (i would buy new)
Clutch and flywheel for w58

what would be nice:
radiator from a 5 speed.
all rubber boots to protect from dirt and leather shifter boot.

and of course you need to trick your neutral safety start switch:



remove this from your auto tranny and plug the wires back into your engine harness in the P Park position, or the car will never start.

good luck.
did i miss anything??

[ochowdero]

thanks. where can i find the wh8?
easiest
haha
this was good thank you,
i new what i needed but miss acouple things.

should i find a junk cressida and take the tranny out of that?

[CanadianBak'inSupra]

most 5speed cressida aorund my area have been scrapped for there 5 speeds and 5m and 7m engines.

i would honestly just try and buy a super rusty 5 speed supra same year as yours and that way you see it all come off, and can put it all back on without problems

[ochowdero]

sorry i didnt make this clear..
i know what i need, well some what, so pointer in that would be good

what im trying to really ask is whats the easiest way to get my hands ahold of a 5 speed tranny and most or all the parts?

sorry for that, bad on my part for not clarifying my true question

its you who is not understanding.

"buy a rusty supra for its 5 speed tranny"

that way you get EVERYTHING not just a tranny. you get the pedals... cylinders...hardline... clutch... not to mention all the dirt boots and leather boot...
