Anyone still wanting to do theirs I have parts for sale , cheaper then buying at the dealer and they are new and not used.

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=191006

 

i was actually looking at the parts but i went outside earlier and found my car like this

and they took off and left it.

 

dam that sucks.

 

it is a car so it can be fixed the only thing sucks it there adjuster takes a week to get here and i work a bit away from my house and have no ride.
But to anybody looking to do they swap i know a few people who have done this. you can do it for around 1500 and the most expensive parts are usally new clutches. that is doing it yourself and getting most of your parts from a junk man. You can use a auto ecu because we have but it throws codes. a lot of codes. It is around 18 i think. then it will require a bit of a retune the timing a bit if you are running a turbo. I would honestly suggest it to anyone swapping a transmission to get everything running perfectly. but honestly there is no reason for you to swap the transmission unless you are bored, just like to work on cars or making more power than the auto can handle. otherwise your better off trading it in and getting a stick.

 

It throws 6 codes to be precise lol

 

I am planning to do a swap really soon and I looked down at the floor and realized there is no hole in the firewall for the master cylinder push rod where the clutch pedal is supposed to go. What now?

 

hey wats up guy my frends got a tc's n one is auto with greddy turbo kit and other tc is stick shift n im playin to swap there trannys can someone walk me through this hopefully n wit pics if u can thzz

 

Your post hurts my brain

 

You have to drill the hole for the master cylinder. IIRC its a 1.25" hole. I made a template out of cardboard for the large hole and the 2 smaller 8mm stud holes. There is a carpet knockout on the firewall which assists with locating where to put the template. I than traced the outline for the holes on the firewall using my template. Than I used a 90* angle drill with a 1.25" bi-metal hole saw to drill the large hole, than a 3/8" drill bit to drill the 2 smaller holes. I still cant remem for sure if the hole saw was a 1.25 or 1.5 - ill have to check for sure when i get home. Id also highly advise replacing the brake pedal with one from a 5 spd - its much narrower to prevent you from accidentally hitting the clutch/brake at the same time. Ive done 2 manual swaps now, so if you need any further help jsut pm me.

 

im doing a swap on a friends car in a couple weeks... im going to find a manuel wireharness he has a manuel ECU but how do u trick the immobilizer? so the car will start?

 

You dont need a manual ECU, or harness. You can do it with the stock stuff. You dont need a lot of stuff in this thread either.

 

yea but there will be a check engine light on also wont idle be funny?
rather have the manuel harness n ecu make it more legit you know he already has the ecu

 

The idel will be fine I have the auto harness and ECU in my car and it runs fine. Yes you will have a check engine light.

If you look on the auto trans where the cable from the shifter is hooked to thats the wires you need to make the car start

 

can get a harness for 75-100 off ebay will have the tranny out might aswell swap the harness might as well do it right the first time

 

also it says center console do u need the hole console all the way back to the arm rest or just the front part with the shifter boot on it?

 

this car is turbo also so idk if it would affect the tuning with a auto ecu with a 5 speed setup

 

anyone?

 

no, it wont.

Make sure you hook up the reverse lights.

 

we are just gonna get a 5 speed engine harness ..

but does anyone know about the center console do i need the hole thing includeing the armrest or just the front piece with the shift boot on it?

 

you dont really need anything new but the shift boot, and cage and shifter
