Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Possible to change 5spd to 6spd?

Could I turn my GT into a 6 speed?

prepare to hear a lot of people saying to just get a gts

its because ur a noob but no hard feelings from me

well, i already bought a GT...and im not happy im missing out on 40hp.

Changing your tranny won't change that.

If you want to change your tranny to a 6 speed, you need the tranny & the shifter & shift linkage out of a GTS. Will probably cost ya roughly $800 from a scrap yard.

Yes it can be done.

yea changing to a 6 speed isnt gonna give you ur 40 hp. thats from the motor...u will have to swap the motor and the tranny

you get what you paid for...

^^ only an arrogant GTS owner would make a comment like tthat

so ...i have a GT model and its gonna get the 6 speed treatment soon enough. the funny thing is that its automatic right now

just Turbo ur car.

The swap is fairly straight forward & it will improve your GT's ability to put power to the road. More gears is always better regardless of the motor.

damm how much is that going to cost you?? will you have to buy a new transmission? and engine? or just the transmission?

tranny

can i change my auto GT to a manual GT? 5speed??

if so, noob can i have ur tranny when you get the 6spd??

^^^LOL scammer!!!

^^ LOL more like scavanger! lol

tranny's cant add horsepower.

^^ i dont want to add hp, i just want to be able to go ' a bit faster' and i know a 5spd will allow me to do so... so hard is the change?? im guessing i need a clutch plate and a 5 spd tranny that will link up to my engine... along with an ecu reprog to tell the computer that i have a manual instead of an automatic

Auto to manual is a fair amount of work. Tranny, computer, clutch, pedal, shifter, linkage & so on.

lift is usless at low RPM's so it isnt like a gts is a muscle car or anything. you paid 4000+ dollars more for 40 HP when you can Turbo it for about the same if not less and get better results. Plus all the interior options you can get in a gts you can get in a gt.

hey ragingpaseo did yo get yur exhaust yet

Actually ur wrong. More gears isnt always good. The gear ratios are differnt and ur probably better with the 5 speed in the GT motor

if you want to go faster just get a Turbo. you can jack the boost higher than a GTS motor could. the 5 spd to 6spd is different gear ratio's for different powerbands so it might hurt more than help. nitrous is also a good option:)
