93 2.2 Auto to Manual Tranny swap?

[justinmcleod]

So here is my problem. My auto tranny has been shifting very hard lately and will not shift into fourth gear untill the car is very warm. It also slips between 3 and 4 sometimes when I am driving down the road at a constant speed. I had a local tranny shop look at it and they said it is going to be $800 to fix it. To be honest this car only has 115k miles on it and I do not want to be doing this again in another 115k, so I have been considering changing out to a manual. Does anyone else have any input on this or know someone who has done this? I would love to hear what you have to say. Here is a list of parts I found on another site that should be required to do this.

# 5-Speed Transmission (E153) from 92-93 V6 Camry/ES300
# Flywheel from 92-93 Camry
# Mevotech OEM Clutch Kit for 92-93
# Shifter assembly from 94-96 4-cyl Camry
# Shifter cables from 94-96 4-cyl Camry
# Interior Shifter Trim piece from any 92-96 Camry
# Intermediate Right Axle (jack shaft) from 92-93 4cyl
# Clutch and Brake pedals from 92-96 I4 Camry
# Clutch Master Cylinder from 92-96 I4 Camry
# Center Console and E-brake handle from 92-96 Camry w/ Hand Brake
# E-brake cable from 92-96 Camry w/ Handbrake
# OEM Flywheel, clutch, and transmission bolts

The site I got this info from for the the V6 so I modified a few descriptions.

I already have the center console e-brake so I guess I do not need another center console?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin
