So, this topic has been brought up a few times on this forum, but its intricacies seem to be rarely discussed. I'm doing my preliminary research into a manual swap on my 05 IS200, and I'm putting together a parts list to try and pull this off, because manual IS200s are getting ridiculously expensive out here in Oz, but I would be delighted to get it done. Here's what I think I'll need:
Manual Trans
Manual Shifter
Clutch (Single Mass Flywheel)
Trans Mounting
Tail Shaft
Clutch Line
Clutch Slave
Master Cylinder
ECU
Manual Wiring Loom
Manual Pedal Box
Shifter Surround
Manual Cluster
What am I missing?? Of course the associated spigot bearings etc I'll need to get. Am I crazy, or is this achievable? I don't know how to do the labour, I know I would mess it up, so I'd accumulate all the parts and head to a good mechanic. Basically, is this stupid?
