Topic: auto to manual

[jrock]

i was wondering if anyone has swapped an auto trans off an put a manual on? and what fabing needs to be done? and any tips to make it go together smoothly.
i've done some research. i have a 85 Toyota Pu ext.cab.(think it has a A340F). i don't want to go through the trouble and put in a W56 but rather a R151.
so i know i will need a new crossmember, master+slave, lines, petal assembly(told it's easier than adding a petal), 23 spline clutch kit(pressure plate, clutch, throw out B., pilot B.), machined fly wheel. anything else.
i will have to cut a larger hole, right?

I did it on my 87 runner it's not that bad, just have to jump a wire to cancel the park switch.

do you have any pictures of this.
biggest reason for the swap is gas milage, but that lower gear is way cool.

your also going to need new driveshafts... or at least lengthen the rear and shorten the front... the auto tranny is at least 6in longer than the manual..

so i could pull those off the donor yehicle and bolt them on right?

Yep

anything else. and can anyone give me a total cost. i know the r151 should cost around 1000, an w56 around 200, those are with t-cases. at a pick and pull what should the driveshafts cost, the hydraulics, petal assembly.

shafts are $75+  clutch master and slave cylinder   and i cant image the petal assembly could be all that expensive... when i did mine i just had a complete donar truck.... so cant realy help on prices other than d-shafts..
