NOTE:

SC400 gated shifter is different from SC300 gated shifter.

The difference is the gear selection.... but might be the same wiring.

Mine is from 98 SC400.

SC300 gated shifter on SC400 non gated will also work.

SC3 and SC4 should have the same wiring. Also, if you have a SC3, you can use your existing shift linkage from what i recall.

Do you have SC300? Do you have to modify the shift linkage?

There 4 locations, pick 1:

ECU
Cluster
Transmission
Driver side kick panel, lower orange harness.

Look for a PINK wire.

You need longer bolts to attach the gated shifter to the chassis. Autozone has a set... bring your old one and match it. You need at least 1 inch longer bolts.

i have an sc4. i believe the sc3 you can use your old shift linkage. I bought a new one from the dealer, but it was no good for the sc4 application.
