Automatic trans to manual trans
I have a 90 runner that has 230k miles on it. The trans is starting to give me problems, and is gonna need to be replaced soon. I want to know if anyone has tried to convert an automatic trans to a manual? Or am I better off staying with the auto?

Welcome to T4R!
I'm going to move this to the Classics section where you should get more response.
Also, if you search a little you should find some threads on this subject, it comes up frequently.

First up what motor do you have, 3vze or 22re?

If you are up to it you can convert it to a manual with relative simplicity. Look on here or yotatech for write ups, there are plenty. I've done it myself, however I never did a write up. One thing that will help you immensely is to get a whole donor vehicle, that's how I did mine. Automatic trans to manual trans

If you do swap feel free to ask any questions you might have.

From what I've seen, a lot of people prefer the manual trans over the auto on some of the classic 4Runners.. lots of people have swapped them. I personally own a manual, and I really enjoy it.
