the swap took about a week to do, total time invested was about 30 hours or so. The Majority of the swap was done on a weekend including cutting the tranny tunnel and replacing it with a new 6 speed tunnel.

First things first, drop entire exhaust and driveline and install 6 speed diff and driverside axle. Remove center console, auto shifter and clear way of tunnel inside the car, when cutting make sure the wiring inside doesnt get in the way.

at this point the modifications are done and the only thing left to do is a clutch swap as per a 6 speed so unbolt the flex plate and install the flywheel and pilot bearing.

and from here install the clutch and transmission, install fork and clutch slave, bleed clutch, reconnect driveshaft and exahust etc... wiring was simple, the speed sensor plugs in. The big grey plug has a the yellow wire and black/red wire; those are for reverse and they need to be spliced on the connector of the 6 speed trans; and finally you need to ground out the park and neutral switch so ground out the black/white wire and black wire.

reassemble inside of the car and install 6 speed shifter and interior panel

beautiful, too bad it isn't as easy as the mkiii. the perforation is already in the firewall for the clutch master in the auto mkiii.
have fun breaking in your new clutch.

Good Job Brian!

It isn't that bad in the mk4. toyota gives you the template on the firewall.

the double layer steel has the holes for the clutch master and pedal in one layer already. you just have to drill the second layer. not bad at all. Took me one hour to install my pedals.

Im thinking of buying an mk4 from the guy I bought my mk3 from lol..

haha yeah the wallet is pretty light as of now; but i dont regret it at all. its a totally different car now and a pleasure to drive. got about 600 miles on it so far and all is well, with the twin plate setup the car still sounds like a diesel at a stop and if i hold the clutch in it sounds like a sword fight haha.

Great Job Brian!

If i were you. I'd throw a OEM MK4 Shifter on it.

It feels so at home on the Supra. ;)

Speedforsale sells them for a great price.
