i personally have not done one. it IS doable. you shouldnt need a new engine (unless the old one is rubbish) but you (obviously) will need the tranny. you'll also need a clutch master and slave cylinder (available at any auto parts store), clutch assembly, flywheel (autotragics have flexplates, not the same thing), shifter assembly, shift knob and boot optional, clutch pedal, and a ecu for a manual tranny (not necessarily required from what i hear but i does eliminate the CEL coming on for messed up tranny codes and various what-not-ery)
Yours truly did one in July 2007. :cool: Search. ;)
aye. ye would be the one to talk to on transmission swappery.
dont want to search. lol..ok, been looking all weekend. ask my hot rod friend monday.
now im on search for ecu and tranny =)
Good luck with it. You can ask Dr. Tweak for help too.
There's a DIY for a transmission swap over on the TRD forums. It's in the DIY section.

And I thought you already had a manual Corolla, the black one.
