This post, Solution to Soarer R154, lends me to believe that the shifter would indeed work since the author makes the statement that:
"again this was done on a w58 that needed to be lengthened but will work for the mk3 also as i have researched and found that the tail housing between the two transmissions are very similar."
But, I do not know if there is a gospel opinion on this topic. I would expect the Supraforums guys to know more about this. The percentage of gearheads on supraforums is significantly higher than on club lexus.

ok, the main reason im asking is because I have an R154. When i was fitting the C's shifter, i came to take the plasic/nylon ring that nestles under the pivit ball of the shifter, and it fell into pieces. I guess it perished over time. In the UK its proving very difficult to find this part(could be discontinued?). I was wondering if i could fit one from a W58 as the shifter area looks pretty similar.
OR, i dont mind paying someone if the part is avaialble state-side at Toyota.
thanks

I dont have a pic of it as it fell to bits when i took it out of the selector housing. It sits inside the housing:
Its a ring that sits inside the housing and takes the shape of the bottom part of the pivot ball on selector:
Unfortunately the C's kit doesnt come with it and you have to use the OE part.

I would bet money that Curt Aigner at Elmhurst Toyota could get you that part. Well worth an email to him with that diagram you posted...
