I'm excited , I just bought my conversion from R & J , and Jes I'm gonna have a boat load of questions for you. Hopefully I lucked out enough because the conversion is from a 98 sc300 and my car is an sc300. Don't really feel like cutting any shift linkage. Wiring diagram looks awesome btw.

Does anyone know of a larger gated/ungated shifer I can fit into the place of the existing one? I want it to look more like the BMW auto shifter with the leather shift boot. I would just put a leather boot over it but it would look like i'm trying to imitate a manual. I love the way the x5 shifter looks. So Im looking high and low, I might just try to fit a BMW shifter in there somehow....
I am trying to get this look....vvv

I have a chance to get a gated shifter from a SC300. I have a 93SC400. There is a difference I have noticed in the gear its a 3 on the 300 and a 4 on the 400. Will I have any problems wiring the overdrive. I have read threw the thread and from what I see some say its doable some say its not. Any help before I make the purchase and attempt to do this mod would be greatly appreciated help me out CL thanks!

If you have a SC400 with 3speed with overdrive trans then the sc300 gated shifter will work great. It has 1234, so 4 will be overdrive on and off.
I have a 99 gated shifter in my 95 sc400.
Only thing I'm missing is a switch to turn trac off. But I pull the fuse and leave trac off all the time anyway.

*** Once again, open that housing and you should see what wires go with what.
That's how I figured how to wire my O/D. Wire color coding of each of the harness from pre98 and 98+ are similar.
This is not hard, just take time to understand the wiring.
I'm done with the gated shifter, I am looking to do R154 swap.
