Celica Forums General Discussion General questions about doing a 6 speed conversion on a 2002 auto Celica

anyone know anything about doing a 6 speed convertion on a 2002 automatic celica gt? how much would it cost installed? i dont care if its worth it or not... i love my celica and i dont want to get a different one.. but i'm sick of having an automatic . PM me or IM me on AIM - PasngrSeatsR4BFS
Thanks, Ronna

So you dont care that you would be losing thousands of dollars for a stickshift?

cost ineffective

i dont really know how much that conversion would cost but a 5spd to a 6spd would be more sensible

for the install your looking at least 800-1000 dollars. but itll be more feasiable to have a 5 spd then the 6 spd.

all together your looking at about 1500-2000 or so depending on where you get the transmission from.

heres my AIM name - RedSunCelica

if you need help looking for a tranny just message me

hahaha funny aim sn

haha, how many auto--->manual conversion threads get posted on here in a year? and the percentage of people of that with less than 20 posts? 100%

^^ there new ...they are just learning how the site works...but you are right...

you know what to me its worth doing the conversion! so i dont care what any of you fools think! i have more then enough money to make it happen i was just look for a rough price quote.. but thanks for your criticisms.

just get a 6speed GTS and make your life easier...

somebody is trying to hook up...

If you had more than enough money, then you would have gotten a GTS.

You probably live in an apartment also.

And learn something about cars before you post stupid questions like this.

^^ Why are you being so harsh to her Assuming things about others doesn't make you look better either slidr. Also, for whoever said just "get a GTS and make your life easier" it might be more logical for her to just get the swap instead of going though the whole hassle of trading in her GT, finding a resonably priced GTS and buying it.

Oh and BTW: The reason for this website is for members to learn whether they're new or not, you posting comments about learning about cars before coming on here is BS Anyone has the right to ask whatever they want.

That question was like my third post on the site.

Because her name is "sexycelicababe" and she's 17... where do you think she is getting the money for the conversion from if she has "more than enough"?

"Daddy, I need $3000 for a tranny".

Not saying that's the case... but I'm saying that's why he's probably being so harsh.

F R E E D O M !
Just relax... express your self... and let others express themselves!!! That's make this website fun!

meh

OK i've done lot of research on my gts auto also.
i've tried everywhere(most of the shop only do hondas, its very hard to find new toyota shops)
if you go to Toysports.com, they will do your tranny conversion and they know what they are doing, they've been dealing with toyotas long long long time.
the price they gave me was 2000. however that was including parts. So if you can find parts for real cheap, the price probably go down more. so far i found all the parts for 6 speed tranny was around 700 for all the parts you need.
And most of the shops charge 1000 for labor.
So if everything is right you are looking it about 1500-1700 for the conversion.
Which is not bad considering all the work has to be done.

but one thing you have to considered. Almost 80% of people who changed their tranny, usually have problem and they take it back to the shop. the shop will fix it, but its just hassle. Plus if you still have warranty on your car, you should wait until it goes over, then start doing shit to your car. Thats my plan for my car. I've got half more way to go. And by then the prices and parts will be cheaper and easier to find. And more parts such as clutch, flywheel, and shifter. so you don't have to change it later.

This is just a suggestion. And i feel you man. auto kinda sucks. But its good in traffic. And hell, as long as you look good in the car, the speed doesn't matter.
damn that was long.
if you need more info, pm me or talk to me on [email]JKonquer34@aol[/email]
And i've already found parts for my car, so if you need place to find it, let me know.
aight then

FYI i dont live in an apartment, my "daddy" dosent hand out money to me and and it wouldnt make my life easier to get a gts becuase i still have 4 more years of payments on this car. oh and how am i supose to learn something about cars if i dont ask questions... so just keep your wise ass comments to your self... i didnt ask for your opinion on anything. so unless you have ananswer to my queestion why dont you just not say anything at all.

^^^eeeeeeeeeeeeasy

Chill out!!!!

can we all just get along???

Nope not trying to hook up , more like trying to help a celica owner out. but if thats the vibe you got fuck it to each there own.

And by the way sexycelica ignore the previouse post most of the older guys on here get pissed when repeated questions get asked. just ignore them and feel free to ask any questions you would like. hence the reason why where here to ask questions and help each other out.

Haha, you make me laugh!, REASONS WHY YOU ARE WASTING MONEY:
1.) You should of bought a GTS
2.) Stick shift is not all that badass, it gets repetative
3.) You probably can't drive a stick properly
4.) Anyone you take your claim to will tell you you're wasting you're money.

If people yell at you for repetative posts or stupid ones, get used to it, IT'S CALLED LIFE.

^^ WTF?

1.) There's a thing called a price difference with a GT to a GTS. If Jae's research is correct than that's a big difference on the prices. ( The price diff from GTS to GT is about $4,665.00)

2.) If she wants stick shift she can have it, the cars I've driven in with stick are fine and I don't get bored.

3.) Your in no position to assume how she can drive stick. You have no clue so there's no reason to assume.

4.) That's your opinion, that's not a fact so you shouldn't act like it is.

If you feel like calling this a stupid post you should check yourself. Leave it to the other members of the site that are willing to help. Posting on this thread just to say it's stupid is a reflection of yourself

just one question...not to sound mean or anything, but why didn't you just get a 5-spd gt instead of an auto, the conversion would have been so much easier and the 5-spd would have been cheaper than the auto...i understand the need to want a manual (i have an auto gts ) but if you wanted a 6-spd gt, why not just make it easier off the start???

conversion

at the time i bought my celica there were no 5 or 6 speeds in the state for sale... and no gts's so i had to setle for the auto
