you could prolly get a tranny swap for about 800. THat isn't that bad.

where did you hear this from? is it a DIY job? i dont think 800 will be enough for a auto-manu swap. parts alone is pricey.

do u mean tranny swap as in from stock to hi performance. or auto to 5 spd?

auto to 5 spd

in the end, it's prolly not worth it though. the trouble, i mean.

Yeah seriously, that would take soo much money to do. It would be like trying to convert the Solara to a real wheel drive and putting the Supra's 3.0L Twin Turbo in there.

hey, thats not a bad idea...

Not that I would do this, as I cannot drive a manual, but what if you could find a Solara that had been totaled and get all the parts for cheapish. If you could do all the work yourself it might not be that bad. Granted, I think you would need a hefty amount of mechanical knowledge, and skill, to pull this off. Really, if you want a manual you should start with one. Aren’t they generally cheaper anyway?

or hey! how 'bout this one!

why don't you just trade in your solara for a manual tranny? :wink:

not worth the time/effort/money/frustration IMHO to change the whole car to a different tranny.

by **NASTY** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 6:24 am

yeah, manual tranny's are generally cheaper (although there are a few exceptions)
damn krooked, you always come through with the best ideas!

it would be cool to have the only manual SLE though
