he used a getrag

 

Yep, he beat me to it, follow the link in my signature.
Also Blizzy has done an affordable 5 speed swap here on the forums.

 

I started a topic here 2 days ago, but no one replied. Hopefully someone can give me some info on this:

This kit claims to be able to hook a manual tranny to the 1UZ. Is this the real deal? What tranny(s) could work?

 

Blizzy swapped in an R154 and has a detailed thread documenting th eswap.

 

That is the flywheel clutch kit, you still need a adaptor to bolt the tranny up.

They show a bell housing but last I knew it still was not ready for production yet.

 

Hey scott where can i get that adapter? I can probably manufactor it here in Los Angeles but i would need the dimensions. i have access to all the cnc machines. i can bring that adaptor into production.

 

Can you provide the link to this how to please?? I'm considering doing it myself depending on how detailed this article is.. Save some money. yay!

 

TTC Performance. Its already in production.

 

ok well these guys from TTC performance are up in Florida. I'm trying to get it porcessed here in Cali for all the Cali SC enthusiasts. I'd be manufacturing like crazy!

 

whoops little typo there. I meant "processed"

 

not to shoot you down or anything
but I don't really see a massive market for them, and it's probably not worth your effort to go into massive production.

I've got a TTC adapter (not installed yet) and it's beefy, and definitely works.

if you made an adapter to go from an R154 to the stock SC400 bellhousing, then you might be on to something. There are several available, but none are made in North America as far as I know, so shipping sucks. The disadvantage to that type of adapter, is that you'd need a different one for every manual transmission, and due to the design of the V160, that type of adapter would not be an option.

 

I can't wait to get one
