Default Help! Need a driveshaft for Supra TT auto transmission

Hi,

I'm doing Supra TT engine and automatic transmission swap. I'm currently stuck because SC300 driveshaft won't fit Supra TT automatic transmission. I need something that would fit into this:

I have stock SC300 diff. I have plans to go with TRD auto diff later on. I need something that would interface with my stock diff for now.

Put the car on a trailer and take it to a driveline shop. They will have a vast array of couplets that can fit any output shaft. My driveshaft for my TH400 conversion was $70 to modify. I'd use the stocker and have them balance it after they hack off the Lexus part, and weld on the Toyota.

Hey kid,

I'm afraid it's not that easy. Don't know any shops around here that would do it. Also, I don't have any other driveshafts than SC300 stock one. Know any such shops?

If your using the gte auto tranny i still have my 3" phr driveshaft forsale with adapters and hardware.

Jeff

Edit: One of my adapters doesn't fit the 4.27 rear so you'd have to get another made.

DIrEctQL,

Do what I did. After a lot of examining and test fitting, I found out that you don't have to get a custom driveshaft made if you are going to use a supra TT automatic in a SC300. Just buy a SC400 driveshaft and a SC400 tranmission output flange. Total amount I spent was $150. (bought the parts from a junkyard)

Good luck
William

There you go. You can also use the 98-00 SC3 shaft and flange.

Lex,

I am not sure if he can use the 98-00 SC300 driveshaft because I asked gadget if he could look under both his SC300s and tell me if the transmissions looked different where they meet the driveshaft and he said that they both looked the same.
