3.0si Coupe auto to manual conversion

[Willy Sea]

Possible new year project costing it up.......and thinking of it. Any pitfalls or traps for the unwary here?
And the best go to guys for bits? (Used naturally, don't get excited)

All advice gratefully received, thanks for reading

Easy to do. Check my 2jz build thread, I think I have some into on it.

Hey I'm thinking of doing the same, was even just telling the wife so. She didn't really like the idea because she's not that great at driving a manual box. After AutoCrossing the car the auto has to go.

Can you post a link to your build? Guessing you were the guy who has the vid of YouTube that has the blue coupe with the 2jz?

[dre99gsx]

I am that guy! Build thread link is in my signature.

Beautiful build man! If you were to do it over again, would you?

I haven't driven an automatic but I think I'd consider a LSD first, especially for autocross or track duty.

Thank you! Would do it again, sure, but the cost would have to be right

Auto to 6spd is easy, parts are easy to get on ebay / tischer. Use realoem to source what you need. I drove with 3.65 auto rear at the track for some time, did Ok. Quaife went in afterwards for better corner exit traction.

If you build it, I will buy it

While you are it, think of converting to Hydraulic Steering as well
Good luck
