    Depends, 6cyl (carb or EFI?)or V8?
    If your doing it yourself labour wont be an issue, when I did mine years ago I did it in 2 stages.
    stage 1 - install the manual pedal kit
    stage 2 - do the gearbox

    The cost will depend on what you buy your gearbox for and what you buy

    Aussie 4 speed,
    M76 (dont touch these)
    Celica 5 speed
    Supra 5 speed
    T5

    Anything non genuine your going to need a bellhousing for which will add to the cost unless you can get a good buy secondhand kit or bellhousing.

    You will need a flywheel, spigot bush, a clutch kit, a clutch cable, use a new one dont skimp there. Also the clutch fork & cable assembly for the engine bay, a manual pedal kit, flywheel inspection plate, tunnel cover, rubber tunnel boots, gear shift inlay & boot.
    Depending on your current setup and what you buy you may need a tail shaft or modify your current one.

    Can be done in 2 days

    cheers

    Exclamation I've got what you need!

    Please let us know if you have a v8 or not, I am currently converting mine to an TH350 Auto for racing. So I have a complete conversion kit from Flywheel to tailshaft with a new recond Supra 5 speed (Suit V8).
    Let me know and I will reply with a quote.
