I can see your point but its time for that car to realize its potential. And I am not going in blind either. I have a buddy thats been a mechanic for almost 15 years who is along for the ride. I am smart enough to know that when you need to know something you ask the experts which in this case is you guys on the forums. You all have the same cars with varying levels of experience and levels of modifications. Chances are you know a lot more than the dude at toyota would about this car. You smash your car you come to me. I start to mess with a car I don't know about I come to you. I am pretty confident that with the combined knowledge you guys have on this site and others as well, that we can get this done pretty nice.

I believe the R154 is for the Turbo and the W version is for the non turbo.
I think someone did an auto to manual in the forums.. will see if I can find the thread.

I think this is the one, although I think there is an older one I couldnt find...

your going to need:
-5sped tranny (w58 or r154)
-clutch pedal
-clutch (entire clutch flywheel all that goes with)
-your going to need to jump the parking gear/ or the car will never start
-Clutch Master and Release cylinders!!!(needs the hardline that goes from master to release)
-possibly the cross member that goes under transmission
-break pedal assembly from a standard unless you want it in the way of the clutch!
-Pilot bearing and throw out bearings would be great time to replace!
-possibly a 5speed starter!!!

good luck should take you a while to find these parts!

0oh and your cruise control may not work after from jumping with the n/p switch!!!!
i have a w58 tranny up for sale! but im too lazy to ship it anywhere sry...

With all due respect to everyone stop telling him the w58 tranny is an option. He has a turbo.The w58 never came on the turbo version and he should keep with original standards, specially for a showroom vehicle. Also w58's are notorous for going out sooner on turbo models that have done that swap.

Having done this myself, The people here make very good suggestions USE THE R154 TRANNY, and follow the diretions of the guy in the post above.
Good luck.
