To bad your not down south. I have access to a garage with three lifts. Plus enough tools to make you go crazy. Good luck on the swap though.
has anyone responded yet that actually can help, and knows what they are doing? heh.
i swapped my car to a 5speed a while back, and have had to take the tranny off a couple times since. (clutch, mount goes bad, etc). too bad i'm all the way in TN.
. I'm always down to pull a tranny...
if you know what your doing, you can have it done in well less than a day of work.

You might need Manual axles. With the 7afe I'm not sure if they are the same or not. If you car has ABS, you'll need ABS axles to have it work properly
I will return one day.

i do not have ABS...sadly
but if anyone knows about the axle situation PLEASE let me know asap. thanks!

well when I bought my 5sfe 94 gt it was already switch to manual. it was an atx from the start. so I was relief. but the shifter housing is not original. I plan on looking at Toyota for the trd one. wish I could come down but its sorta far. goodluck!
94 5speed conversion Liftback GT
so mac says i should get all new mounts instead of just the one thats needed. theres like 4 i believe. is this really necessary? i didnt want to spend that much if it wasnt necessary but if a few people think its a good idea then i will. and if i dont have to buy all the mounts i'll have enough for the trd shifter
just mount(s) and shifter left
[i'll address the axle situation when someone knows for sure but for now im assuming it isnt necessary]

make sure you have the pressure plate resurfaced at a machine shop, and you will need a new clutch.
my st205 swapandour Beams swap
steff, i wouldnt use that clutch.
i'd just have the flywheel resurfaced.
if you cant find someone local to do it, just bring it up with you, and i can have it done up here for like ~30$

so if i go to advance auto parts and get a new clutch kit is that everything id need? (for that anyway)
heres what it says comes with it: Clutch Disc, Cover Assembly, Release Bearing & Alignment Tool
edit: cause i know there was something(s) i didnt have for the clutch that i needed, like the alighnment tool. cant remember if there was anything else

7A-FTE:It's not about the money.Our Beams Swap.I <3 Dustin---07/16/06
so this ended up costing me wayy too much money in the end but hopefully it will all be worth it, heres the final cost breakdown:
Manual transmission
Manual ECU
Flywheel/ Clutch/ bolts
Shifter cables
Clutch slave cylinder (attached to tranny)
Clutch lines (attached to tranny)
$400
Clutch pedal assembly
Clutch master cylinder
Brake pedal
$200
All 4 motor mounts
Resurface flywheel
New clutch
$140
TRD shifter assembly
$187.25
coming out to a grand total of
$927.25
had i went with the stock shifter it would have only come out to about 800 but hopefully it will be well worth the extra cash...hopefully
got it all. ready to go. ive been waiting a long time to get this far, hopefully it will be done this weekend ::cross fingers::
...im incredibly excited

hooooly ****...thats a lot. i did it on a gt with like a 1/3rd of that cost.
it IS WORTH IT though. Trust me;)
One thing. If that's your list, you don't have everything. Sometimes when you buy parts, lots of clips and things are missing, so you have to be sure. I had to get a lot of springs and clips and things like that when I did mine straight from Toyota. It's best to buy a clutch and pressure plate combo. I'm sure Exedy makes an OEM replacement. But I see you've already got a lot of parts. Best of luck.
