They said that they just have to change the bell housing on my stock transmission to fit the 1jz.

I found an automatic clip that appears to be stock but it has 92,000 miles on it, should I buy this clip or look for another one?

I posted on supraforums, but didn’t get much of a response.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Although 1JZ twin turbo is strong engine but people in Japan don't drive much and usually throw away car if it occure in accident. Low milege engine is plenty so better be patient and look else where.
