auto to manual swap

[RadicalxEdward]

I searched around but i can't find the dang old thread about auto to manual swaps.

There is a local salvage yard that will remove parts for you. I don't have the money for it right now, so i don't need a list of parts. I was just wondering, if anyone has done this before, how much they paid for labor. I can't install stuff that complicated myself so it'd all be paid work.

The auto tranny is the one thing i hate most about my celi, so changing that would be a dream come true lol.

Thanks for the help guys!

tow truck:$80
ecu:working a deal on it still:~ $200
install: $0.00
other stuff you may need: ~$200
total:$1,180

Hey man, if you do this, sell me your AT valve body. Don't need the rest of the trans -- just the valvebody. Thanks!

Can't wait to see how yours goes dan-e. Keep us posted.

my bff from highschool, his father owns a shop in eagle rock area. there not a performance shop but do install,repairs, and rebuilds any make and model so i kno they kno what there doing, i just dont how much experience they have with our celicas. im guessing its not to much off from let say a honda, which makes me have faith in them. all i need is the ecu and some extra cash for anything i may need to order.
