As the title says, could the automatic Soarer tranny simply be a direct swap with my stock sc300 automatic tranny? Not sure if it matters, but my car is a 1997. I will be NA-T within one month (everything is already ordered), and I don't want my drivetrain to die on me. I've heard the Soarer ATX is a bit stronger than the sc300 tranny, so I felt it would be a good alternative to keeping the stock tranny.

I did a search, but didn't come up with a definite response. I've heard the auto Soarer tranny is a direct swap with the auto sc300 tranny with no modding/fabricating required... is this true? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance,

has anyone done a sc300 to soarer (automatic transmission) swap?

 

Just buy an Built tranny from BoostLogic....Its only 1800$

 

You can get soarer autos for 1-200 bux all day long thats why. U can do a dang TH700R4 swap cheaper then 1800 lol

 

After buying a Soarer Auto tranny for about $200 or so... what else is required to make it fit onto my sc300? Bellhousing? anything else need to be modded to make ti fit into my car? thanks guys,

Good question...... I'd like to know as well


Anybody with answers??

 

I know for a fact there is no "modification" needed on the driveshaft side, but I'm unsure about the bellhousing side.

 

ok, so the driveshaft side on the soarer atx tranny will bolt right up? thanks bud

Now all I need is some1 to confirm fitment of the bellhousing onto the block. Anyone know 100% whether or not the soarer tranny will bolt right up to an auto sc300?

People talk about swapping sc300 trannies with Soarer trannies all the time... nobody has done it with an automatic??

ANY input would be great!

It seems like the bellhousing and driveshaft side of the auto soarer tranny will bolt up to my sc300...

anybody know if the tranny cooler lines are the same, along with the wiring, and the shifter mechanism?

if you can swap the usdm 5spd tranny and the jdm 5spd tranny without mods, why wouldnt one be able to the same with the auto's? im going to try it out this week and ill let everyone know.

 

bell housing is the same as well but the wiring will be different im pretty sure

 

Well-- fwiw-- from what I remember you can swap a 1J bottom end/block with a 2J and keep on truckin if your 1J goes bad, and you get an extra .5L --

That being said, I would think the trans would bolt to any 1J or 2J motor--

 

Mechanically the 1JZ soarer Auto will be a direct replacement for the 2JZ-GE. BUT most of the 1JZ imported to the US are pre-ODB2. So the wire harness and clips only fit Pre-94 SC300s. 95-97 clips are different(Such as Speed sensor) and 98+ 5sp Autos are electronic kick down controlled.

 

hey man i did it to my 94 sc300 and it worked perfect my 97 sc400 has a 95 soarer tranny
