This is an old thread but the only solution is to swap out and get the new 97+ gated shifter. I personally wouldnt bother because all of those parts would costs $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You can get the whole assy for $300.00. Used.

Gadget,

Are you serious? Only 300? I heard it was alot more to the point where the money is better spent elsewhere.

Does someone have more info on this. The 98+ SC300 uses the same transmission as the 92-97 SC400 but with a gated shifter. So the swap has to be possible, if someone can shed some more light on this that would be awesome.

if i had gotten an older SC, i would do the supra shifter conversion, didn't look too hard to do, and a 1/2 inch adapter was all that was needed if i remember correctly!

i was wondering the same thing, would an automatic off a supra work? maybe toss on the sc300 manual shifter panel for the boot and juss cut holes for ect button, heated seats, and trac?

answered part of my question... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=supra+shifter

now will the sc300 mt shifter fit if i cut holes for the buttons?

The swap is not dependant on what transmission that you have. The SC400 shifter assy has on more position than the shifter on the SC300 due to the SC4 having a 5 speed auto.
The 98+ SC3's have the same old crappy A340e as the early models. It is now controlled electronically. The line pressure is controlled by a solinoid instead of a cable connected to the throttle body. Many call this a kick-down cable, but it controls the line pressure. The kick-down switch is located under the gas pedal.
This swap is possible


in my 92

Hi guys,
Don here from New Zealand . After a LOT of trolling through Japanese Soarer club web pages, I found this guy who owns a 92 Soarer, and converted it to the gated type out of the later LS400 or Celsior as it's known in Japan.

I'll post up the link. It's a sorta pictorial tutorial with Japanese text , but if you use IE6 and take advantage of the "Translate to English" button it will help (Sorta!).

http://www.geocities.jp/dlug2005/page002.html

Once you've scrolled to the bottom of the 1st page, click the RH of the 3 Japanese symbols (At bottom of page), which will take you to the next page of pics.
And so on, until you reach the end.

Hope this may be of some help to you guys.

I'd love to do this conversion into my 97 Soarer when money permits

Ahhh... so the 98~ SC3 uses the same tranny as the later model Soarers too (A340E), it seems to be electronically controlled as Gadget has mentioned (and that's about as far as I can find on this damn transmission) so hopefully the electrical connections should be the same (fingers crossed!).

this one is nice and comes in a bunch of colors and finishes best of all it retains the oem functions such as the overdrive and fitment
