Hey guys...quick question...is it possible to change my auto 3MZ-FE to a Manual transmission?

Anything's possible if you got the money. I personally would just trade the auto for the manual. If I'm correct, there's quite a few things that you have to change when going from auto to manual

yes it is possible...you just need the money!
in australia, the camry sportivo (think US SE model) came avalable with a 3.3 3mz-fe and a 5speed manual tranny
its extremely possible to do\....but will cost alot of money, and it will take alot of work to swap the tranny, mess with wiring and ECUs and most of all source all the parts
dont quote me on this but im sure since the 1mz and 3mz share the same basic block, a 5speed tranny from a gen 4 V6 5speed 1mz engine could bolt right up to a 3mz
its the electrionics that'll kill ya
