    Did Toyota ever make a DCSB 1st gen with a MT? I would be greatly interested in finding one and getting out of my AT DCSB

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Yep, much easier than a 2nd gen that's for sure. 1st gen was the last generation of Toyota truck that parts were truly still relatively interchangeable and simple. Surely, it can be done on 2nd gens but costs are way higher and the technical aspect of it is much more complex. There's quite a few 1st gen DCSB trucks out there with manual trannies in them. If you have all the parts, and the time it's pretty straightforward to do.

    There is a in dept collaborative thread on TTORA. Every question has been answered in that thread. We have over 5-7 members that contributed to the thread. I strongly suggest reading the whole thread before asking questions. There are little things here and there that have been cleared up through out the thread. If you have any questions feel free to message me though.

    No first gen double cabs came in a manual. Only the later models did 05+.
