Auto to manual tunnel ,is it needed.

My na was converted to manual .i just presumed that the tunnel would of been changed ,but by the looks of it it hasn't.So do you actually need to change the tunnels if doing the conversion or is it just easy to trim the original auto one.

pic is of mine now.

Ive never heard of a manual conversion being done before without getting the tunnel....doesnt mean it cant be done but i reckon best to do it properly if doing it yourself

Dude did my conversion for me on my black Supra, its not the actual tunnel, its a plate you need to buy from Toyota which is placed on, mine looks like its oem they did such a good job.

it is the tunnel mate there a total diffrant shape it can be done without changing it but its a boge job.

here is the diffrance in them from when i did mine

Did you have a 6 speed fitted as its will hit the auto tunnel without changing it.

no its a 5 speed.i take it the 6 speed needs the hump then.

Yeh the getrag is taller and needs the hump.

Thats only a little bit of the tunnel, to me the tunnel starts at the floor.

Yup its the black bit I bought, I think, its been a while, I'm 5 speed though, f speed will be different. And it certainly wasn't a bodge job, idont think afr bodge anything.

Was not saying yours was a bodg job gaz as you had the tunnel fitted. What I ment was the ones who fit the 6 speed and just cut the auto tunnel to make it all fit.

I know dude and Matt and there work is second to none and would never do a bodg job.

Hole KEEP digging lol.

There are 2 ways of doing this depending on what tools etc you have available to you, you can drill all the spot welds out and chisel the complete panel out, then refit the whole new panel and bond/weld it back in, you can just rivet and bolt it in with a decent bonding agent like sikoflex. The second way is to cut just the hump part of the tunnel out of the car and cut a very slightly larger panel from the 6 speed tunnel and weld this into the car after pushing it up from underneath, when finished with a bead of sikoflex this is just as neat as factory BUT you will need some decent metalwork tools to neatly cut the panels out and good welding skills to neatly weld in the hump so it appears to be factory, I have tried both ways and prefer just fitting the hump, the trick is to make sure it is sealed so no fumes come in, also to use ALL the rubber gaskets and gromets as Toyota do for the same reason as well as sound insulation. One of the biggest compliments ive had was when Rod Bell motorsports looked at a car I did and said it looked factory.
