hi guys and ladies having bad luck

[noone]

I looked into it many years ago for a Celica. Too many potential issues and parts in addition to the gearbox. If it were just the box and the stick, it would be easy.

Sell it and buy a manual.
You'll save money, rather then having to spend it as well as time.
It's rarely worth doing unless you really just want to learn how to.

thanks.im starting to change my mind now. i think of better keeping the auto and chase down a transmission control modual.some one told me if the first 9 digits of the part are combatible and the last two letters are the batch number like year and date. do you guys now anyone how might have a spaer tcu modual flotting around.
