so just brought a N/A auto, what would be the best option to put a manual gearbox in

Hi all,

so just got the supra back and want a manual but for the price can find one, will it be a easy job to buy a 5/6 speed and swap?

thanks

Hi Adam and welcome.

Best do a few searches on here as this has been discussed in depth...many times.

A 6 speed box is going to cost you more than you paid for your car I would think and if you are thinking of upping your power at a later date the alternative W58 five speed isn't so good with high torque levels.

Post some pictures of your car.

Hi and welcome

Unfortunately, a 6 speed box on it's own will probably be more than you paid for the car, a used gearbox with everything you need for a conversion will probably set you back around £4k, that's before labour to fit it. 5 speed W58s can be had for a lot cheaper, but they are not a particularly strong box if you are intending on adding a turbo or doing a TT swap. the most cost effective if you want to up power is the R154 5 speed out of the Mk3 Supra, you'll probably be looking at around £2.5k-£3k all in including labour for one of these, they can't handle 6 speed power, but they can easily take around 600bhp.

If you want a manual that badly you'd probably be better off cleaning up your auto as much as you can and selling it. The. Searching for the manual. What did you buy your auto for and what would be your budget for the transmission swap?
