hi i know and have read a couple of 2nd gen GS300 having a getrag 6spd swap.
anyone have a link or can post up any experiences with the swap? how direct is it, what's all required, what pedal assemblies to use, etc?
thanks!

It seems like everyone has done this or is going to do this but, surprisingly there is a real lack of information. It is very frustrating for me.
I am very concerned with the clutch pedal mounting as there is not a sister car that I know of that has a clutch, like the SC or IS. Then there is an issue with the emergency brake. I just would really like to see some more detailed pics of an install into either GS.
I have a GS400 and really want to do a trans swap. I am not to worried about the drive shaft or rear mount. I think that the adapter for the 1uzfe is way to much. As for the computer I think it may take some tinkering but I think you could get your cel to go off with the right combo of bypasses.

i thought the GS' in Japan came with a 5spd or 6spd factory? i'm not sure if it was the 1st or 2nd gen.
i guess the clutch master cylinder issue, if you can't fit a factory 5 or 6spd one where it should go, you can get an aftermarket one to put somewhere else.. ?
i guess the biggest quesiton would be in the pedal assembly and possibly wiring harness of the interior and exterior? i would think they'll be separate though.

I think that someone commented that they would use a wildwood or other racing type pedal to use as a clutch. No doubt you will have to cut down our existing break pedal in half.

the GS in japan was considered the Toyota Aristo.
