Yahhh i used the template for the master cylinder and found that hole. Guess I'm going at that part right. I was just putting the trans together I bought a brand new one so it had no parts on it. So got all new brackets and mounts putting energy suspension mounts in them. New clutch fork/ tob.

grease the living hellll out of the clutch fork. they tend to squek when it gets humid/rainy out.
and this is the diagram thendawg gave me, hope it helps. you have to pull the fusebox out to access these wires.

actually they are different. idk if you used the auto ones successfully but the manual ones are about double the thread length i'd suggest getting the manual ones from the dealer but if they worked maybe its not such a big deal, when i went to toyota he printed me a out a list of every tc part between auto and manual with different part numbers.

well they recommend you do your crank seal while the trans/flywheels off. i didn't. but yea get both passenger/driver side axle seals. at the least driverside and "try" and save the passenger one without mangling it. i just got two new ones. also MAKE sure they're the manual ones driversides different

Just for future reference we used a air ratchet and didn't have to take the dash out to install the clutch pedal.

To anyone who has done a manual swap, I have pretty much finished it I thought just did the bypass of the clutch and now my fuel pump is all I hear but no crank nothing..... any ideas what it could be? I swapped my ECU and Engine Harness ans the Key has been Immobilized by a Toyota Tech so when I plug my key in its recognized.

If you still need help, inbox me your number and I will explain all you need to know. I did this process a few years ago and built my own turbo kit. I can spend a few minutes helping you out.

Seal kit - $21.44
Axle assy Left - $343.75 Right - $399.66

okay so what are the absolute bare minimum parts needed to. Do the swap and make it successful I’m trying to. Make it a challenge for me since I’m going to be in a best western hotel and. I am picking up the parts. For dirt cheap
what do I need to bring with me and what parts are needed to make. It to where I can drive it. To get the parts as an auto and on Friday drive it home. As a Manuel
HELP NEEDED ASAP

I'd say it's a safe bet that you need everything on that list without diving too deep into it...and it's also a safe bet that trying to do this in a hotel parking lot is going to end badly.
