I found some info it appears the 3sge Caldina never came in manual!

Correct. Only 7AFE, 3SFE & 3SGTE had a manual behind them from factory.

Worth noting that most manuals are 4WD and with the exception of the GT-T's you seem to notice it in terms of performance.A friends ST19X series 3S-FE 2WD goes much better than his wifes ST21X 3S-FE 4WD. both auto.The GT does have some get up and go but the 1.8 is best left to the people who believe in false economy.They are pretty gutless and to get anything out of them will return pretty poor economy.

I was looking at that one myself!The thing that turned me off was the km done and the prick of a job that replacing a clutch in these 4WD's is.They have a reputation.Just got my GT today.
