[stitch0901]

i have a 1999 sle v6 and as most of you probably already know is an automatic and i would like to know what are my options to swap to a manual transmission? which tranny i should look into? what parts will i need to do the swap? how hard will the swap be? or am i just wasting my time and should look into gettin a new solara thats an 5spd instead? any help will be greatly appreciated

Welcome To Sg.. The question is how much money do you have to spend on a swap ?
You will need a Tranny, axels, ecu, harness, clutch ass, master and slave cylinder, tranny mounts, center console, ect theres a lot of parts, and some time and money.. i say tranny swaps cost around 1 grand to maybe even 3 grand (correct me if im wrong) Depending on what shop does and what parts you buy
( new/used) and were you buy them from .. Also taking into consideration the shop needs to be one that has done swaps like this before Auto-Manuel and is a reputable shop

parts w/ a low mileage good condition tranny = about 1500 - 2000

performance clutch + flywheel = 8-900

labor....no idea...did it myself.

But considering that a clutch job where the tranny is dropped costs around 4-500 in labor...I'd estimate about $1500. It's not hard per se...just some parts are really time consuming.
