ok i know this had been done on here and i dont want to do it. so i called aamco("the transmission experts" Bull Sh#t) and they said it would cost to much since the car is so old. what i am trying to do is i have a manual 95 st and a auto 97 st and i want to swap the transmission from one to the other. would it be easier to do a complete engine/transmission swap from one to another?? so u dont have to worry about the harness?? how much would it cost??
transmission swap?? - 6G Celicas Forums
umm wel the wiring is going to be a bitch to swap an auto into a manual.
the auto to manual swap is easy i have a how-to in the section designed for it.
now manual to auto is going to be a pita and if someone did it for you probably looking at least 1g for labor.

If you are planning to do a engine swap, then its easier to do both the trans and engine swap at the same time...
You dont have to worry about the harness, everything fits the same excpet there will be an extra plug on the atuo trans harness that doesnt go anywhere on the manual trans. This is what creates the error codes if you dont have a manual ECU. But if you can live with staring at the error codes, then its fine. There is actually nothing wrong.
Prices vary from $750 if you do it yourself to $2000+ if you have a shop do it. I paid $2K for mine, but i got a lot of good new parts, good cluth, new flywheel, and looked at a few shops before i settled with one (the more expensive one) because they seemed to have the most experience.
