Wasting no time with this automatic transmission. Works fine, but just a mediocre driving experience. It'll be going into a 1995 Limited owned by a local 2nd gen guy.









Removing the auto shifter trim has always been one of the more disgusting experiences of an interior cleaning. Years of coffee and liquid spills, various nastiness...





Pulled the shifter out, both driveshafts, and then drained both the transmission pan and transfer case. Speedo cable, dipstick, and vibration dampener removed.






Pulled the bolts out of the torque converter, bell housing, exhaust bracket, and let the starter drop back a few inches.

Dropped the sway bar down, pulled the front skid and fished the transmission cooler lines out, unbolted the cooler, and fished out the kickdown cable.

Harbor freight transmission jack for the win, worth every penny and then some.











Jacked up the front to clear the height of the transmission jack with transmission attached.

















Now it's time to gather the remaining parts needed to swap the manual transmission in.

- Flywheel bolts
- Pressure plate bolts
- Pilot bearing
- 3VZ to R150F stiffener plates
- Transmission mount

I also need to:

- Cut tunnel hole wider to prep for new tunnel overlay
- Cut tunnel from manual truck to fit into auto truck
- Overlay manual tunnel panel over cut auto panel, seam seal, rivet into place. Retains factory boot mounting locations.
- Make a clutch master cylinder firewall hole template
- Cut clutch master cylinder holes in firewall


Great to be working on an old project again. Love to be able to do so much with so little money. Love my Supra, but one mod on the Supra alone could have paid for this whole project and then some.

Thanks for viewing, more to come.
