Exclamation Shifter Extension for R154 rsc300/sc400 Swap

Hi there guys, I just installed my 1jzgte with a R154 transmission on my 1996 SC400 and notice that I have to extend my shifter. I take the measurements and I would have to extend it between 5 1/2" to 6" so the shifter can be centered in the factory hole. I personally don’t like to cut on the metal. My question is: Does the shifter extension kit that driftmotion.com sale extend the shifter so it can fit the factory hole?

Please let me know.

Depending on what Trans You have - either way You will always have to Cut the Hole from where the Auto Shifter came through.

There are 2 diff transmissions (3 total) that you could have.
You need to post a pic or find one thats the EXACT one you have.

Search - theres a thread on which parts you can get to extend it if you have a SUpra R154 as it is shorter. You may have the Tri-pod Style R154 or even the Semi Extended Soarer Trans like mine.

I've done a lot of Looking into this issue to insure I have the right one before I install it all

You Won't be able to use the STock AUTO Shifter hole.I do know that much.
You Have to Cut out the section in front of it.

well your gonna have to find someone who likes to cut metal and get them to do it cause the hole is too small for all the gears to work.
