    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.

        Yeah clutch packs are probably cashed out.

        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.

                                          " However, it does unfold to an extent... After all, this is a practical build, wholly intended to carry drift cars to and from the track, amongst other things. The bed tilts back to allow cars aboard, although many will wonder how any car could make the climb. Miles's creativity knows no bounds: even the lowest of cars are able to be loaded up. A long pair of aluminum ramps lay flat on the ground, and a car is driven atop them. From there, the ramps are hoisted into position by the bed itself, making for a flat, dovetail-free platform. It's hard to verbalize, but trust us, it's brilliant. Adding to it, a 9,000lb winch makes the legwork simple, and everything is operated by a key chain remote, making vehicles easy to load for Miles, even by himself. "
