Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 6 speed transmission swap price

Hey guys(and girls), I'm thinking of getting a tranny swap to get a 6 speed. Any of you have knowledge as to how much this would cost? Thanks.

Are you a GT with a 5 speed, or do you have an auto?

I wanted to try swapping a 6 speed into my auto. Unfortunatly, the general view is that it's NOT worth the cost.

GTS auto, i like the sportshift and everything, but I would prefer standard. just askin around for prices, cause I don't want to bring it up to my parents, cause I'm just happy they bought me the celi

OK I'm in the same boat as you, auto gts want a 6-speed...

Well this guy named Pluto at newcelica.org had his put in for around 3 to 4 grand, while i did some research and found a toyota dealership to do it for 2 grand in NC where I live... Just do some research and if you dont have a lot of mods on your car then just trade it in for a 6-speed cause its a whole lot cheaper and no hassle with a tranny but if your like me then with mods you dont want to go through the hassle to put them on another car then just talk to your local toyota dealer...


I thought about selling my auto sport shifter to someone who got in a wreck and needs a tranny or wants to do the opposite of us and chances are since its a sport shifter we can get a little of our money back to put into our tranny... (but its just an idea...)

quick question...

can you trade in your car if you had some exterior mods done to it?

the swap will cost about 2-4k for parts and labor depending on the shop. There are so many parts needed, it will take very long to get all parts and about a week for a good shop to finish it. I'm also considering this mod but i'm going to have to save up big time.
