Swapping automatic to 5 speed?

[Sleepers]

Can someone direct me to the best guide of how to swap to a 5 speed. I already have the manual 7mge motor, ecu and harness. I need to now get a 5 speed transmission and a few other things but am unsure of all the steps. Any help would mean alot to me. It will be going in my 87 Supra.

you will need the clutch and brake pedal, master and slave + lines and driveshaft (or atleast the front half).
the neutral saftey will need to be bypassed and revese light switch wired in.
the auto ecu will run the 5spd fine aswell.
you will need the 5spd speedo cable aswell, its about 1-2 inches longer, as the speed sensor is 1-2 farther back on the tranny.

on the 87 the firewall holes are pre-cut, so it will be a literal bolt in swap. also if your car is ABS, make sure the tranny is from a abs car, or you wont have the rear speed sensor. abs sensor is the same 87-88. 89+ is different (plug?) according to my interchange books.

Can you link me to some online video, just so I can see step by step.

ive never found any no, but ive done the swap myself and took me 8 hours to do it.

Not a bad swap. Join Supramania.com. The pedals go for a good amount and a good R154 could run you a decent amount.

You should have made a how to video guide with the basic's. Well grr I need a video or lots of pictures.

the swap is more or less like a remove and re install, its as hard as replacing a worn clutch.

Any books I can buy or something that would show me how to? Did you just learn yourself from schooling or how'd you figure out how to?

i work in a junk yard so i figured most out myself.

the tsrm is http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=AT&P=43 to remove the auto, then follow this to install 5spd http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=MT&P=6
