Oh sorry I have the 05 engine harness and 05 ecu.

The manual ecu has been plugged into the auto harness by multiple people on this forum according to some other threads....

O sorry I got my answer I contacted PTuning I didn't really explain that well I have an 05 Manual ECU and I bought an 05 Manual Harness so all I need to do is PnP and then reset the ECU and itll start. So I'll find out when I'm down that road further.

Quick question in case anyone still looks at this thread. What's the minimal amount of stuff you need to remove in the interior in order to swap the transmission?

Should be just the shifter bezel, HVAC, and center console. I saw some people took out the whole dash...... I haven't had to

you need to take the top dash off definitely. to secure the screw on top for the clutch pedal and also if your switching brake pedals there's a screw ontop of the assembly.
and you CAN get by without removing the heater core. i went this route. HUGE pita undoing the screws for the linkage under it NO room at all i did 1/8 a turn at a time with and open 10mm wrench. id def recommend gutting minimum: dash, lower/upper waterfall, cup holders, glovebox(ecu), and optional heater assembly.

Pubes, I dont wana hear that haha I got the brake pedal in with no problem ( just unbolted two bolts). I havent done the clutch pedal yet, next weekend the transmission gets dropped I work at a Toyota dealership a few techs are doing that part with me. I gutted all the center like u said the waterfall, shifter bezel, cup holders and center console.

did you do the whole assembly or just the arm? cus if i remember correctly it was 4 bolts and the pin holding the push rod. also i could've swore it has a bolt ontop to mount it, i know this is definitely true for the clutch pedal

You can do it without pulling the dash. I did. Its a bit of a pain but you can get to the top bolt for the clutch with the cluster removed You will however need to remove the fuse box/junction connector under the dash. Its about 7 or 8 wiring harnesses and a couple bolts. Not hard really as the harnesses will only fit in their own slots.

I have no idea. I dont have either of the clutch switches hooked up. I just have the ECU switch bypassed so the cruise works, and the start bypassed so it starts whether I have the clutched pushed in or not.

Wow. that's impressive! lol I took mine off also to adjust pedal height cus I couldn't get to the bolt. The dash is only 6 bolts 1 clip and the pillars anyway. (Beside the glovebox/waterfall) and I never removed the fusebox/junction connector. Do you mean to drill for the master?

We're going to try and drill from the outside in for the master cylinder/ clutch pedal..... we'll see how this works.

Ahh yeah thats what it was - I pulled the fuxe box to get the 90* adapter for my drill up in there. Used a hole saw for the big hole and a bit for the two smaller bolt holes - wasnt bad at all.

I managed a drill up there but it was a air drill realllllly compact. But no wayyyyyyyy drilling from the engine bay you can't get behind the strut tower. Its not bad at all under the dash plus the spots already marked where the sound dampening pops out! Then just take that to make a template or the master cylinder gasket mark and drill.
