Newbie here
I just wanted to say hello and thank y'all for the add! I've got an 85 4wd auto Tercel and really have been thinking about it a lot here lately. It needs and engine rebuild. And I'd love to put a standard trans in it. Maybe even make the engine a touch stronger. Either way thank y'all!

Re: Newbie here
welcome!
some have converted the trans over, though depending on the condition of the car might be easier to find one with the manual trans. finding a good trans is getting difficult, unless you can buy a whole wrecked parts car somewhere, than you get all the bits and peices you need, it might even get you a good engine too. it is a bolt-up conversion.
good luck.

Sounds like a great deal. Post some pics.
The conversion is doable but it helps to have a donor car. I've done one.
