I had a 90 Celica Gt but i found a 91 MR2 for 2,500 so iam getting that instead of getting my 3S-GTE for the celica. The MR2 Is sadly an A/T I was wondering how hard is it to swap to manuel, because in do time I will get the MR2 3S-GTE. But i need help with this A/T
NO A/T PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Trust me you don't want to waste all that time and money into this. I have no knowledge of people doing this with an MR2, but I only heard bad things about this conversion. Switching from manual to auto is easier, not the other way around. I'm not saying that you said that, but I'm quoting myself. I'm also pretty sure that repair shops that do this is going to be hard to find unless you throw in another $1000 plus the thousands you'll spend on converting. SAVE YOUR MONEY! DON'T DO IT! Find a manual 3sgte and go from there. Trust me.

I think you would be better off buying another MR2 that is already manual. Alot of money is needed to do this.

turbos NEVER came in auto....the time and money you will spend to convert from auto to manual..you could have just bought a turbo in the first place...
