Tailshaft needs altering to i think. Budget about 6k if you are doing the labour yourself. Thats staying with the dual mass flywheel and stock clutch. Safe practice to change the rear main seal and front gearbox seal when you are doing it.

Yeah i think i was being a bit generous saying $3000 considering i sold mine for $5000 (he better not pull out hehe)....the tunnel is only $120 from toyota but apparently its a b!#ch to get the old one out.

I've just looked into all sorts of gearbox conversions for my automatic soarer and i have concluded that manual conversions are not worth it. The only half feasible conversion involves getting a manual soarer box which is rare not to mention the associated ecu. Looking at $4k conversion anyhow for essentially a standard strength box add a decent clutch to that and it's more like $5k. Better off selling your auto car and buying a manual version. Any other form of manual conversion requires customisation on top of everything else and really the price starts to blow out upward of $6k in my honest opinion far too much!!

Haha ; easier said than done... It took me 3 months to find mine... Out of 3 that I saw in all of Melbourne , it was the only one in a good condition . They have been thrashed by now.
