I traced all the pins from the Trans to the body plugs from body to dash from dash to cluster man i am really tired of messing with them wires, i have been working on this car for the longest ever atleast 7months lol.
We are going to install the stock 95 harness in the car once the issue is revolve we will just run a 97 cluster with the pigtails.
It will be easy for me to swap the harness than trying to trace and rewire that's just me... Just like pulling a trans out off my SC i would rather pull the whole motor out with the trans on it about 45min lol.
The cluster maybe from an SC400 who knows ? he doesn't know what year it came out of !!! I can check the part# with the other SC4 cluster my buddy has.
I must finish this car , got a couple of projects waiting ........

I'm trying to do the exact same swap on my 96 5spd. I'm not looking to have the car down for no seven months. So if you could do it all over again, what would have been done differently? I'm sourcing motor and tranny from eBay for $5k, gathered from this post I know I need the following: custom driveshaft, supra tt rear end and driver side rear axle, harness done by phoenix tuning....am I leaving anything out? I don't want this swap taking longer than 2 weeks. And sorry for thread jacking

Lol This is 1 day swap for me i do this kind of stuff all the time, almost every week end.
It's (1) day swap if you have everything, it took longer with this one because we didn't keep the car stock, he have been changing stuff left and right, it's a long story lol i don't wanna get into it.
I did the wiring so that's another reason , but it was only like 2 days for the harness.
Don't buy a $5K engine off ebay please don't do it, and you will thank me later.

I'm in the middle of my swap too. I'll comment on it as soon as I get mine running. I have good help...well they're doing everything, so unless the motor is junk, it should be all good. Wish me luck!

Just be a little patient please, and if you can't be patient hit the search botton and you will see what's needed for this swap...Whatever is needed for the swap is already listed in some of the previous post on this thread.
Speedometer is working , tach is also working
after replacing the2000 SC400 harness with a 95 SC300 Dash Harness.
You can use an SC4 Cluster on GTE swap but the tach moves faster it's not accurate, so the Tach will be OFF.
On the newer style cluster i didn't have to jump any resistor to get the tach to work but with the 95 harness and cluster i had to jump the R109 resistor to get the tach to work.
So far for the swap you will need these fiollowing parts
Custom DS from Snap performance
GS400/430/ 98+SC400/01+SC430 98+LS /01+LS430 they will all work 3.26 gear.
If you go with Supra 6sp 3.16 gear diff you will need (1)axle not sure what side but maybe "Cherplex" can shime in.
You will cut into your Tunnel.
If you have any questions just post them here i will try to answer them at the end i will get the mods sticky the thread with all the info.
I can't remember everything it's too early
sorry.
