Kicking around the idea of doing a manual tranny swap down the road. I only have 4500 miles on mine and simply HATE automatic trannies. Plus I tow often enough to want to be able to put it whatever gear I want and roll and not worry about over heating or something going wrong.
So what I am thinking off the top of my head would be. I did this on a 2nd gen PU a couple years ago, but they were much simpler.
5 speed, clutch & flywheel out of a 2WD Tacoma or will another model work? (don't want or need 4WD or plan to do an SAS)
Clutch master & slave cylinder, hard lines, etc.
Redo the crossmember I assume
One other thing is the computer thinking it still has an automatic. On the older ones it was a separate computer and could be removed without an issue. On the Tacomas I assume this is not the case.
