Jake Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Are the pedals and clutch master cylinder from an NA the same as the ones on the TT models? Seeing as the the engine and gearbox is out of my Tiptronic VVTi TT at the moment it occurred to me that this would be a good time to convert it to manual transmission. I know where I can get a VVTi manual ECU. I think I know where I can get a 6speed gearbox. The car already has a LSD and I'm OK about it being a bit lower ratio than the regular manual diff, seeing as Supras are way overgeared anyway. So, apart from a bit of messing about with the propshaft it should be a fairly easy swap.... right? Or am I forgetting something? Any thoughts? What about the clutch master cylinder and pedals? Will the ones from a NA be alright? It'll just make it easier to find some if NA ones are the same. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 hi jake, i did a bit of asking around and ive bought pedals and master cylinder/reservoir from a n/a to fit to mine. have you read the article on mkiv.com about the conversion? it tells you just about everything you need to know and what parts are needed. i'll be doing mine next weekend. Using the auto diff is supposed to put your speedo out by up to 20mph and really not a nice drive but if you do decide to keep it you will need the front half of the prop shaft as the 6 speed box is shorter than the auto. also allow money for clutch/pressure plate, dash panel, cutting up of the transmission tunnel, clutch lines, flywheel, flywheel bolts(£10 each:( ), it really starts to add up when you add all the little bits on any questions on this then feel free to pm me as ive done a fair bit of research recently lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 As Lee says, it is not just mechanical bits and pieces to slide in and out, a the transmission tunnel needs to be swapped about. Pretty much most of the interior out job that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I've done a complete parts list for someone on here before. I'll see if I can hook it out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Be careful that the list on Supraforums isn't LHD though. They're very much different parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I sourced all new parts required for a manual conversion for an Australian customer a couple of months ago, see parts list and epc images attached.Auto to 6spd.xlsAuto-6spc.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yes it is! The attached part list is based on the LHD list on Supraforums, but has been converted to RHD part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 There is another thread around here somewhere that has revs / speed listed for manual box auto diff, IIRC it doesnt seem to be a good idea, over 4k @ 70mph in 6th. I also remember reading about someone(Arnout maybe) blowing auto diff's on a manual box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 There is another thread around here somewhere that has revs / speed listed for manual box auto diff, IIRC it doesnt seem to be a good idea, over 4k @ 70mph in 6th. I also remember reading about someone(Arnout maybe) blowing auto diff's on a manual box. Nope, I read 3680rpm at 70mph in 5th. Also I've read somewhere that the diff issue was down to something else as well. I'll try to find it out.... edited to add:- Actually 70mph in 6th equates to 2914rpm.

TLicense Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Here's my list, it's a little bit more comprehensive. Not 100% on the quantities as some components have say 2 in the bag, whereas others you would need to order 2 seperately.6 SPEED CONVERSION PARTS LIST.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
