      A manual sienna sounds miserable.  It's bad enough driving a mini van let alone having to actually be cognizant and conscious while doing so. They're the most practical thing a human can own but they're soul sucking mobiles.

          Yup, I will take it apart and see what it looks like.  Used ones are expensive, I will try my hand at rebuilding it myself.  Individual friction and steel discs are available, it can't be that bad.

          Eh, I am crazy, I'd rather shift it myself.  Yes it is still a soul sucking vehicle, I won't be driving it much thankfully.

          Bad news though, TCU and ECU are integrated as one unit.  That kills my chance of swapping.  I am not going to go through that much work to figure out ECU programming.

            That would be amazing, RWD would be preferred, I couldn't find any manual transmission ones for sale.

                Yea the manual got dropped when the supercharger was added. Also it was only 158 HP lol. Still a pretty classy beast.

                            First, I'll admit I don't know much about transmissions, but wouldn't it be Far Far easier to find an old automatic tranny in a junkyard from a Sienna and put that in?

                              Yea, used U151F transmissions are expensive though.  About 1000 for a scrapyard one.  I will (attempt to) rebuild the one I have.
