This is my 2001 Coure I just brought the car as in pretty decent condition considering its age and I’m planning on maybe doing a manual swap if it’s possible because the auto is pretty lame if any one has any info or experience with manual swapping these cars feel free to reply to my thread in the Q&A section

Welcome. Pull the engine and gearbox all out at once to do the manual swap. Not what I’d call a hard conversion.

welcome to the forum!
Your L7 looks good.
A manuel swap is possible as Mr G said take engine and box out to change the box.
You will need a manual pedal box as well for in the car.

I’ve found a manual 2003 Sirion getting parted out will the gearbox from that be the exact same as a manual coure box? Might have to use the Sirion manual box on the coure as Coure parts are getting so hard to find locally these days
If the Sirion is a 3cyl (efde) it will be the same.
Was also curious if it’s possible to pull the motor and transmission out the top without having to drop the subframe as I don’t have a hoist I only have a engine crane
Yes absolutely, It is how I do it. I hate dropping the subframe. Just take off the bumper and the radiator and the radiator supports. It will give you heaps more room.
