Might be buying a sc300 with 1jz, only thing is it is automatic. I want to put a r154 tranny in. So what would I need besides the r154 transmission, 1jz bell housing, manual clutch and brake pedals. I heard somewere you need the 5spd drive shaft and a 5spd diff but not sure if that's true. Any help would be great thanks!

 

Its impossible to convert auto to manual. If it comes in auto you cant change it

 

ok well my buddy has one that was converted so i dont know who told you that... and they sell a auto to manual conversion pedal set on www.driftmotion.com so if they couldn't do that conversion i wouldn't understand why they would sell that product.

 

anyone know anything about this?

 

Check the sig

 

thanks! were can i get ahold of a Soarer shifter extension?

 

BoostLogic or Drifmotion.

 

Orrrrrrr, you can get ahold of Champion Toyota in Austin Texas and tell them you need part numbers, - Housing, Shifter (33521-24040)
- Control Shift Lever (33570-24010) . When I called, they had them in stock. Everything was less than $100.

 

i think comment: "Everything was less than $100," is a little misleading.
If your going to convert an auto 1jz sc300 into a manual 1jz sc300, it's going to cost roughly over $1300 minimum if everything was purchase.

JZ bellhousing to R154: $200+ used and $340+ New
R154 tranny: $400 (if your lucky enough to find that is does not grind) or pay $800+ for a good one.
Slave cylinder: $50+ new
SC300/400 manual kit with Master cylinder: $384.99 from driftmotion. I suggest you buy the kit than go through a nighmare finding 1 part number at a time.
Clutch kit: $250+ for stock. Other stage clutch can cost you a lot more depending what you want to do.
1jz/7mgte flywheel: $150+ used and $300+ new
Misc. expense: $200. Includes hardware, lines, oils ect.......

 

Im not misleading, I didnt mention anything about all the parts you listed.

It cost less than $100 too get the OEM parts too lengthen your shifter housing.... better?

By the way 1jz and 7mgte flywheels are not the same..different crank bolt pattern.

 

Wise guy, eh?
correct
again, correct.
Champion Toyota is in Houston, not Austin.
^^^This guys got it down correctly. Minus the 1jz/7m flywheel part.
Incorrect, the parts do not swap right over even if you buy em new for $100. It can work but the bolt holes do not line up on the shifter assembly and need to be re-drilled.

I just did my auto to 5 speed swap a few months back. Its really not that bad. Once you have all the parts you need, you can complete the whole shebang in 1 day, like i did. If you have any questions/concerns, PM me and ill steer you in the right direction .

If you dont mind me asking what was the final $$ amount for your swap

 

i hope you guys knew that i was kidding.. 1jzgte comes with the auto and the r154 why wouldn't it be able to swap. i was just bored at school.

 

I did a five speed conversion from auto to manual on my 1987 mustang GT if anyone wants some pointers! hahaa
@sc300jz, i seriously thought you were joking at first, then i realized hey he might actually be serious!! then i really started laughing!!!! j/k!

 

^ 4 hour break between classes are not fun.

i plan on converting my 97 to manual as well in the future once i have enough money to motor swap.

I believe you need a clutch fork(not sure) will need a 5spd drive shaft since the auto is shorter i believe. Getting a 5spd is optional but it will decrease your cruising rpm.
