Default trouble with manual swap !

Im doing a manual swap for my GS/Aristo with supra mk3 r154 gearbox. My biggest problem is the clutch pedal and master cylinder. How in the hell they would fit in such a small place ?
anyone has pics or succestions how to eliminate that problem ?

The master cylinder isn't very big as you know, and I hope you removed the floor e-brake. You cannot keep the e-brake if you do a 5 speed swap. Get a drill and drill out the fire wall.

I used a last gen MR2 handle and cable set up mounted on the tunnel on the passenger seat side. No issues.

Ok hear you need to unplug the harness that connects to the auto shift selector on the transmission and then take a multimeter and find the power and the reverse pin. When you bridge both of these wires together with power in the car on the back up light should illuminate. The next thing you have to do is once the r154 is installed on the right side of the tranny there is a wire a 2 wires switch for the reverse lights. The r154 needs to be in reverse so when you test the 2 wires form auto harness to the switch. Once this is done the reverse lights should illuminate then you will know that the wires are routed right to the switch on the r154 tranny. I hope this helps you......
