as in, from auto to manual, or a direct swap?


also, how much are you willing to pay for labor + parts and when do you want it done?

Sorry for my unclear Post.

Details:
1. From Automatic to Manual.
2. $ 1,000 CDN for labour alone (that's what i budgeted)
3. I guess I can source my own parts, so $2,000 to $3,000 for parts?
4. Time frame: getting all the parts plus getting finances, i'd say START of may

Please let me know if my estimates are reasonable.

Those estimates are pretty good. Not too sure about the labor part though...I think that a shop may charge more than that since it's a decent bit of work even though it's fairly straight forward.

parts sound about right though the cost will fluctuate depending on what clutch/flywheel set up you go with.

as for down-time- I'd give a shop about a week or so. But very sorry....there are very little big performance shops in TO that would be willing to swap a camry tranny for a decent price I would think, since they have no experience in it and would more than likely charge a lot just in case it takes them a long time.

you should try smaller shops- maybe around the markham road area? just stop by, stick your head in and ask.



but the only thing that I would say is what a lot of ppl would say...why not just pick up a 92 5-speed v6 in the first place? if you have the gen3 1mz, then I could see the point of swapping since a 5-speed was never made. same deal if your car has been heavily modified aesthetically.

you'll end up saving a lot of money in the end and have the same thing. you can swap over whatever it is that you'd want to keep as well.

Hey doesn't Kingston have some free time????....

seriously though, I'd say for a swap on that car, you might want to look at WHY you are doing it, if you have $20k in mods to it already do it, if not, then pass on it...unless you have the 1mz
