Default Supra auto transmission vs SC auto transmission

I couldn't find anyone mentioning it here so here it is:

Supra automatic transmission and SC300 automatic transmission is 95%; therefor, when you swap them out you do not need a custom drive shaft. You can use your SC300 driveshaft.

There are several differences between the TT and NA automatics though.

Okay, sorry but I am wrong. I will post some pictures later comparing both. There is a difference that will require new driveshaft.

Yeap... it is 100% not worth the effort... We build the na trannies to hold 700+rwhp for the same price as getting a stock tt tranny, custom driveshaft, tt crossmember, tt torque converter, custom wiring, etc.

I think I will just go for TH400 insted of building up the TT or NA.

Did you do an engine swap in your car? I am about to step into the part of wireing up the Supra harness with the SC electronics. I need some more information about this. I have Phil's manual but I don't belive it mentions anything about auto transmission or more specifically the ECT switch.
