Vehicle Details
did the is 300 sportcross come with a manual transmission?
No, the Lexus IS 300 SportCross was never offered with a manual transmission from the factory. The SportCross wagon was automatic-only for its entire production run (2002-2005).
However, the sedan version of the IS 300 was offered with a 5-speed manual transmission in certain model years (2002-2005). So if you’re looking for a manual IS 300, you’d need to look at the sedan rather than the SportCross.
That said, a manual swap is a popular modification in the enthusiast community — the 2JZ-GE engine shares its transmission bellhousing pattern with many Toyota manual transmissions like the W55, W58, R154, and others. I’ve seen quite a few swapped SportCross examples gain a cult following for being the practical wagon body with proper 3-pedal driving!
Would you like help finding a manual IS 300 sedan instead, or are you interested in learning more about manual swap options for the SportCross?
