Converting Auto tranny to Manual?

What is the price tag for this process? (to DIY or pay someone else)

 

You're probably better off selling your current truck and getting another one.

That process is not gonna be simple or cheap. Afterall - there are electronics, sensors, & computer programming involved that might not function properly if everything isn't synced together (so to speak).

 

Definitely better off selling the truck. I'm not sure of an absolute cost, but it would be more than the hit you'd take by trading in the truck and buying a new one. And it would be hard to do it right, like Janster said.

 

I've seen in done a couple times in rangers, but not in a taco , not an easy process at all and IIRC, the cost of the interior work is almost as much as the tranny, but it also gives you the option to run a manual t-case , or even a doubler!


Disregard that i didn't realize you were 2wd , here have this link though

Buy another truck with a stick shift.. Too pricey to convert.

 

if you could do ALL or MOST of the work yourself, it wouldn't be too bad. but if your just swapping in a tranny that's already available in a similar, or possible identical truck, the labor and monetary costs greatly outweigh the benefits.

people have begun swapping transmissions in tacos...but not just for a simple auto to manual swap. there's a thread on here with info for a T56 swap, but its for performance reasons.

 

What about electronics? Is there a Ecm flash a new harness for this mod??

 

It can be done...however save yourself the blood, sweat, tears, and money and just sell the truck and buy a manual.

 

Yep, easier/cheaper just to buy the manual.

 

If you had a manual truck to take all the parts from and you could pay someone to do it would you think its possible?

 

Buy another truck.

Can you? Yes.
Are you going to pay way too much money than what is practical? Yes.
Are you going to tank the trucks value and hurt its reliability? Yes

 

yep..........better things to do with your time & money

 

This right here.
