Hey Everyone,

Now before people say "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON" or anything like that... I have done that with minimal assistance.

I know that people put the v160 trans in the gs300, and also the w58 is also an option... but the v160 is really pricey, and the w58 does not hold much power.

Also I know people love the Boost Logic trans and the Titan... but I dont feel like spending all that money on a trans and then buying a stand alone ECU.

My question to you all is if anyone have dont the R154 trans? Ive read that it will require modification to the tunnel where the trans sits, but other than that bit of information... I havent heard anything else. ANYONE TRY IT?

Any help is appreciated.

Using any type of manual transmission on the GS will require some modifications. If you're this mechanically advanced then modifying the tunnel should be the least of your worries. Idealy, if you're pushing big power or plan on pushing big power then prepare to spend some big money on supporting modifications. Like they say, you have to pay to play.

The W58 is cheap but will hold up to about 350 reliable ponies. An R154 sell for a bit more but worth the extra money only because of how reliable they are. If price is your main concern then stay away from the V160 but if youre pushing big boy power then I recommend you get it.

The end.

Do I plan on making big power? NO... Do I plan on making more power than the stock supra auto trans (400-450) ... YES.

No, he meant Aadaamm..

Long ago Adamgamz had a r154, then a v160, then a built GTE auto, and now a TH400..

Thank you. R154's are known to be a little on the more inexpensive side... So maybe i can do it and have a little more fun

US MKIII 154's can be had for a few hundred, but 1JZ/Soarer/Chaser/MarkII Extended 154's still cost $1100-2500..

what trans are you running (if i may ask)

I bought a R154 from a MKIII Supra for my GS, but I am having second thoughts about going manual.
I chose it because the w58 is weak and I didn't want to fork up the loot for a getrag.

G0TB00ST

getrags are more coin than id ever spend. i just dont want to spend 3000 on a boost logic auto and tcase and then an extra fortune on the right standalone

G0TB00ST

does anyone make a trans mount that will work? Every time I go to the shop and look at the GS... I keep telling myself to just do it!!!

I know that aadaam did a shifter extension... and it doesnt look that hard to do... but the trans mount is my only concern

Got soarer/chaser with tri pod shifter type r154 in my car. i used stock gs300 trans mount and everything lined up.

Whats the difference between that r154 and the one in a mk3 supra?

gumball7

it has the remote shifter same as v160.
