I just bought a sc300 5 speed shell and i have a spare automatic engine from a 97 sc300 how hard will it be to convert the shell to auto so i can use it ...... until I have enough money saved up to do my 2jzgte swap

you'd probably spend the same amount just getting a w58 and an oem clutch/flywheel.

(not really) haha

NOOOOOO!!! Please don't convert an origonal 5speed to auto, Hell you could likely find a member who will swap sc's with you.

I would just put the 5speed back together.

i have a 2jzgte with a r154 to go into the car but the engine is being built and i need a daily driver so i was thinking to put the auto engine in until I'm ready

If you have the R154, why not go ahead and use it?
It's gonna be in there one way or another.

the reason i dont want to put the r154 in now is i already have a performance clutch setup and i dont want to buy another clutch just to use for a couple of months

If you are not hard on the clutch, you could probably have it broken in by the time you are ready to put the motor in.

No extra money required, you'll have a car to drive, no downtime.
It's a win, win situation.

I agree with the TRADE someone mentioned above, 5 spds are rare. Unless u have a super clean body an cant pass it up

i have a 5speed shell no rust.and would like to trade it for an auto shell in good condition...bc im in the same boat kinda.. I have a 1jzgte soarer auto and a 5 speed shell. love to trade it for another auto sc

Just finish the 5speed swap in the shell? The amount of time and money you'll be wasting making it auto or getting an auto shell, you could put into the 5 speed shell.

y dont even need to do anything really for the auto to work in the 5speed shell. remove the clutch pedel and all lines . use the original brake setup. and as far as wireing i have a 1jzgte with its harness and ecu. so replace the 5speed ecu with the 1jzgte auto and extendthe harness 26 to 28 inches. only thing that might not work after the swap without fixing is the rpm gauge.. quick fix run a aftermarket rpm gauge as i am doing.. the body i have for the 5speed is great no rust at all and for me being in NH thats the biggest plus ever. got the swap started will post pics asap
