Default W58 to 1uz Adapter plate on Fleabay!

I was browsing and came across this. Item number 330303844065



I asked him some questions. This goes between the auto bellhousing and the W58 tranny. It is 6061 alu.


-edit- After talking to him over ebay, I realized this is a guy I have met before lol. I hope he has more than one because I will need one this summer!

actually this stuff has been around forever in the land down under...australia. we are the slow ones to develop stuff and even slower at finding what other people, internationally, have to offer.

Would be fun to have a manual 1uz, but too much work for me to deal with. :Cry:

For the Howe TO bearing it will have 2 lines that need to come out so drilling through the bellhousing is what is needed.

I talked with Jake today to discuss the W58 logistics and we came up with the full list of everything I need to have to get this to work.


W58 - Supra MK4/SC300, MK3's have a different shifter assembly so to avoid conflict, use the later ones in the MK4/SC
Adapter Plate
Flywheel -
Clutch/Pressure Plate kit to attach to the flywheel
Howe T.O. bearing
maybe more shims than what is included in the Howe kit, wont know until its tested on an SC400
Driveshaft - SC300 should work but I might just bring the front part of the SC400 DS to a shop and get it fitted
Pedal Assembly - SC300, MK4, or MK3 with mods will work.
Clutch Lines - from Pedal assembly to TO bearing and from TO bearing to where ever you want it for bleeding.
Transmission Mount - SC300 may work... sc400 may work... no idea.. this will have to be made/modded once the transmission is in.

I am pretty sure this is all what is needed to work... I am doing this from memory.

well, im pretty sure the trans mounts for the 400 and 300 are the same. i think it would be a matter of what would happen with the alignment of the cross member. i remember scott having to make is own when he went with the v160 in his 400. i would think this would be the same scenario for one of us to do?

And thats why I am pretty sure we will need to make one or mod the current one.
