I think lexus stopped putting the manual tran in the sc 300 in 97???
Can anyone verify?
Is it therefore possible to swap the older transmission into the 98-00'
models in order to have a newer year be manual????
thx

Manual SC's 92-97.
SC300 5SPD : W58, similar to NA tranny of MKIII/IV's
IS300 5SPD : W55, IIRC
I might have seen some people swap in W58's into the IS300's over @ my.is (IIRC) while I was looking for one but seeing as how the W58 is probably better than the W55, I don't see why you'd you replace your W58 unless its giving up on you or you found a great deal.

Yes the W55 is weaker and the flywheel on the IS300 stupid expensive but you can use the
W58 flywheel if is you have a W58 Bellhousing .
Yeah the Bellhousing are different but interchangeable.
