Will a 5spd guage cluster plug right in or is there some special wiring to be done?
Also, I am going to be replacing the cap/wires and rotor. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as far as place to get them for a good price ect.....

Just make sure your cluster is from a car with the same basic powerplant, (V6/I4) otherwise the tach will not read correctly, and the speed-o may be off a bit too.

Another question. How hard is a 5 speed swap in these cars? In 240's they are a piece of cake, but that's a RWD car that you don't have to deal with a bunch of shift linkage, half shafts ect. So whats needed to do the swap? Tranny isn't in hte greatest of shape, so I'm just trying to decide if I should swap in a 5 spd, or just get another auto out of the wrecking yard.
Also, do all camry's dash lights go on when you push on the brake pedal? Or does my car have a few wiring issues? lol

Several people on this board have done this swap, both in the 2VZFE and 3SFE setups, you will need to have the obvious parts like the tranny, clutch pedal, hydraulic lines, shifter, shift cables and such. It would be a good idea to replace the ECU also. JetSpeedCamry has his entire swap documented on this board, just do a search.
Wiring issues? That would be a yes.
