How much will it cost to swap to manual?

[dpanda88]

I have always wanted a standard car but I was given the camry after my parents using it. I was wondering. How much will it total cost to swap my current auto into a standard? Like with labour and all the parts to make it?

Thanks

dpending on who does the labor and where you get parts figure 1,000 - 2,000

oh damn thats expensive >_>

labor is going to cost you a lot it wouldnt be all that bad if you could do it yourself

if you can find a 5 spd in similar condition for sale it would be cheaper and more time efficient to sell your auto and buy a manual

labor will kill ya, do it urself and u can prolly look to spend maby even under a grand if u look around.

way more than i expected. good to know though

[dpanda88]

wow yeah like digitalscars say. Its good to know this. Learning new stuff day to day . But damn expensive. But I'll try to look around still and see if I can find a similar camry/solara 5spd tranny.

Thanks

Basically it's really only an option if your automatic transmission is shot and needs to be rebuilt / replaced. At that time do the manual swap.

yeah as one person have said before, its around $1,500usd. all depend on how much work you gonna help or do..... parts should be around $700usd (depends on the condition)

A good option to do while you do a swap, if you plan on later doing it is getting a good clutch and lightweight flywheel and doing all the associated upgrades.

ATM I'm beginning to collect parts for my swap. It's a lot of parts to collect but the end result is well worth it to do it right the first time.

for a cheap swap where it really just works? I'd say about $700 in parts and then labor- probably around $1200-1500 or so...maybe less if you know people.

if you want to do it right and use a newer tranny and newer parts- around $1500+ and then plus labor which would be the same

and if you really want to do it right, then slap on about another $1K for a high performance clutch and flywheel

oh damn with all that money spent I could probably lay down a down payment on a subaru impreza std lol

You can also do it for ~$300 if you go all j-yard, and probably make a profit when you sell off the auto.
