Swapping Trany

[CKeaton614]

I'm thinking of buying a 94 TT but it's automatic i got a good price on it but I really want a 6 speed. Anyone know how hard it would be to swap out the trany? Or if i should just keep looking for one with a 6 speed. This 94 only has 80k and the guy is letting it go for 18k. It's hard to pass up..

Ime, it'll definitely cost much more than the difference (parts+labor), so you're much better off to keep looking for a 6spd if that's what you need.

As an additional item to consider, note that an automatic is significantly more consistent, as well as being significantly faster in the 1/4 mile. Of course, it's also a lot less difficult for the driver. If you want to drag race your 94 TT, you might want to reconsider your desire for a 6 speed. On the other hand, if you want to roadrace (which is what the Mkiv Supra's jza80 chassis & suspension was designed for), I agree a 6 speed is a much better choice.
