I did it alone, but with a lift, so not sure.

Love the rightup!! I was wondering though. Does anyone want to do this in SoCal that knows how to do everything? I am looking to buy a MR2 really soon and i really want a T-Top. I know picky but whatever. Well if anyone wants to do the swap i would be willing to give you all my manual parts needed for all your auto parts.
It would work backwords I suppose?
Tell me what you think. I don't have the space to do it.

I'm sure it can be done on jack stands and a lay down roller thing you lay on.

Very nice write up! I have an Auto tranny and might just swap it out, especially if I get a Gen III I'll have no choice but to!

You mean you want to swap from Manual to Auto trans?

strikedistance · 09-09-2008, 01:56 AM

Exactly

Everett · 09-09-2008, 02:18 AM

I have an auto trans that I wanna swap out for manual. Your far away but I may be driving my MR2 out to Cali early next summer.

strikedistance · 09-09-2008, 02:29 AM

If you know how to do it and can bring some tools im down for that. Kinda a long wait but it might work. I dont have a car yet but it might make buying a manual a better choise? It would have to be a non-turbo right?

fvillota · 09-29-2008, 12:04 AM

i just remembered to ask... would i need to order pressure plate bolts? im starting the swap tuesday or wednesday.

fvillota · 10-23-2008, 08:17 PM

well i just finished the swap and my car wont start. i did leave that little shifter box plugged in and yes i took the auto shifter out while it was in park. what do i do with the tranny plugs that arent used in the engine bay anymore? is there anything special i have to do? plz help!!

MR2 Drifter · 11-01-2008, 08:28 PM

If your using the same engine, does the automatic and manual trannys bolt right up to the engine or do you have buy something else?

fvillota · 11-03-2008, 11:53 PM

no it bolts right on.
