XLE's never came in a manual, only in Auto.

Yes. But SEARCH.

You did NOT say you wanted to do a swap. You have to be more specific when asking questions. You need a LOT more then just the tranny. You need the pedals, master cylinder, clutch line, shifter, cables.

And 5SFE or 3VZ-FE engine? I don't think you have any idea what your getting into.

Unless you have a parts car....you're screwed.

Dude. ASG14 is probably the BEST gen 3 camry guy here... and you probably just lost him. Way to go. IMO, no one answer.

Ok, here it is in a nutshell.

You ask a question, wanting to do a 5 speed swap. Yet, you do not even MENTION it's a swap.

You tell ME how to read minds, and I will do the swap for you.

Now, we BOTH know that will not be happening, right?

Ask CLEAR questions. Don't think we'll be able to know what your thinking. It;s like asking, "Why won't my car start?" And expecting us to know what is wrong, with no other information given. Info is the key, Give it, get the help you need. Thats all there is to it.

Please restate EVERYTHING you want to do, and THEN, at that point, we can guide you in the right direction, and help you through what you need to do. Details and clear questions. Thats the Key,

One thing Ive always suggested and seen many times in forums first and foremost is to use the search button first for looking at what you want to do.

More then likely with all the posts just in this forum alone it has been covered. Then after searching if you havent found it and or you just arent typing in the right query, it has happened, you ask and as ASG said, be clear about asking your question.

Most times when posting, you should included but not limit it too

Problem what it is isnt doing
Car type model engine size
tranny 5 spd or auto

You pretty much get the picture of where Im going with this. Then be clear in what you are saying asking. It will let the others know what you want, need and or trying to do and also help them to help you better diagnose your vehicle.

ok well heres the whole deal again (more info). i wanna do a transmission swap on my 1992 v6 camry (engine is a 3VZ-FE) which is an automatic. i was wondering if it is possible to swap a auto for a manual trans and if so what steps do i need to take in order it get this all done. what kind of trans do i need to look for? what needs to be done to the engine (if anything) ect. i am jus starting to learn about all that is involved an im hope u guys can teach me.

thanx

Yes it's possible. But easier and cheaper to buy a new car.

Easiest way will be buy a wrecked V6 with the 5 speed in it already.

u need an E53 transmission and an manual tranny ECU and some interior pieces like the pedals, centre console, shifter assembly etc.

AND a whole host of other things. as mentioned before a good search will yeild alot of info. also check out solaraguy.com, some good info there too. TRD4life was selling trannys for pretty cheap and may still have one...you should PM him. I will say it is MUCH easier to jsut find 92-93 SE then a swap...you just have to have the money ready and be patient.
