92GTS auto to manual?

[Plat]

Ok here is my situation...I have an AUTOMATIC...yes its an auto
92 Celica GTS.

Now the engine and maybe tranny is done for and needs to be replaced...now putting an all-trac engine in an automatic just doesnt make sense to me right? SOOOO is it possible/worth it to change an auto into a manual? or have I gone mental...

If so is it a do-it-yourself type job?

I'll say it probably cheaper to buy an AllTrac if you can find one. That way you get the full package.

haha i am in the same situation as you bro =D i have a 90 GT thinking an swap but the automatic transmission is holding me back, so i dont know what to do. I dont know about the amount o fwork need to do the swap but all i know is its more $ =D so ahah good luck to us both >_<

I own 89 GTS 3sge with auto ect tranny
In power mode its fast
I raced a black car not sure what it was unfortunately( night time)
sure it was 4 cyl with a stick maybe 240 something small
with real wheel drive, tires in the back screeched.
Had me went threw first and second gears i saw the car jerk
in front of me about 2 car lengths
Then when my TVIS kicked in I took off and it was over.

only mods where jdm headers with 2 1/2 cat back exhaust
and a cone filter
gts fast car for n/a, bet he thought i had a turbo or nos even I surprised myself the way the car pulled that night .
but I had a healthy grin when it was over..

Then a 3000 gt came by and didnt get a chance to try it but I
think would crush me.. when ever I get beat I want to turbo it with a stroker kit but thats expensive..

OOpps Dislexsic.... i thought u had a ST not a GTS... my bad.. ignore me...

just make its a 5sFTE.... its cheeper and simpler

welling seeing how my enigne have like 200+km on it i dont really see the poitn in rebuilding the engine, so since i wanted to do the manual swap i might as well do the enigne swap with it =) cheaper that way at lease i hope so..

I just like th turbo sound "pssssh" =D i can't wait until i get the $, its like a dream coming true i can see it AHH =D
