Default manuel tranny swap q

i've driven manuel transmission cars my whole life and since i got my lexus i'm beating myself everyday, it even came to a point where i am thinking about getting rid of the car just because of that reason alone(well plus the weight) so now i have 2 options either get rid of the lexus and get a different car, possibly 97-98bmw328, M3 or 99-2000 audi a4 , or get a tranny swap. If i go with the tranny swap, what year/model supra tranny would work with my 93 gs300 and how much would it cost including the labor and everything? thanks for the help

i think you wud have to use the same year as your car, 1993, or someone correct me if im wrong.
i have asked around for parts and labor, and it will run you between 4000-7000.........again, correct me
if im wrong....lots of work involved, btw.

so basically it's pretty much not worthed?
i was thinking it would be less than $4000 because i found a few 93 supra 5speed and 6speed tranny for about $1000

well, if you have the $$$, you can pretty much do this project.
i wonder sometimes if manual tranny form IS300 will fit our cars........since both share
the same motor.....never heard of such project being done, though.

if you can get the tranny for $1000, then i think tht's a decent price. i havn't really checked
how much those tranny's cost but it's the labor and time consuming that u wud have to deal with.
