what a beast...I will definitely be doing this in the future...

I had the opportunity to install the 5spd into my SC400, but I opted for the newer gated shifter conversion...

As soon as I boost, getrag all the way!!

Hey guys, I got lucky, and a friend (Chrisman) got the trans for a local trans shop. I got it for a great price, again I got lucky. I'm pretty sure they don't have any more, but I'll ask him tonight.
It wasn't an easy task yo mate it to the 400, but it can be done.
Hopefully she'll be on the road soon, and I can let you know how it turned out.

total sickness. I think its safe to say that this is aproaching the ultimate sc setup. maybe im just blind but how did you mount the 6 speed. it looks like the original bellhousing with the getrag name cast into the side. did you have to use the supra tt master cylinder?

Thanks Deanp I don't know if it's the ultimate, but it's pretty cool to have an aluminum block, DOHC, 48 valve, twin turbo, 6-speed, with a LSD rearend.

I used an adapter plate to mount the Getrag. The adapter plate bolts to the motor, and then the Trans bolt to the plate.
I believe Eric (Cowboybop) makes one.

Getting the parts is confusing! Some parts have to come from the 5-speed SC300, and some need to come from the 6-speed TT Supra.
The interior pieces are from the SC300, (Pedals, shifter boot) and so is the master cyl. The supras master is probably the same part, but I don't know for sure.
I thought I had everything correct, but I made a couple mistakes.

The shifter and all the parts that bolt on to the Trans come from the Supra.
As far as the clutch itself, I'm using a Quarter Master clutch, and they make a hydraulic throw out bearing which will work with the clutch. If you were using a stock clutch redrilled for the 1UZ you would need to figure that out.

Hey Guys, I was kickin @$$, and taken names yesterday!!
I got the motor & Trans back in the car, plus a lot of the little stuff, alot of the wiring, got the harness back in the pass compartment which is a pain.
Got the automatics selector out of the center console which is also a pain in the @$$.
Drilled out the holes for the clutch master cyl. Kinna a pain.

Anyway, some good news is the Getrag fits in the tunnel. Not even 1 hammer blow was needed to fit it!!!
I had read somewhere that on the Supra the tunnel for the auto, and the manual was different, and the auto tunnel needed to be removed, and the manual one put in. That is not the case on the SC. I believe that the shifter will also line up with the stock hole in the tunnel for the auto's selector. This may need to be clearanced for the shifter, but it won't be much, and that would still be alot easier then putting in a new floor!!
The Getrag (Even with the adapter plate) is shorter then the auto trans. So the drive shaft is short. Plus the drive shaft wouldn't bolt up cause of the different flange on the back of the Getrag Vs the Auto even if it were the same length.
Anyway, I'm all excited about it!
I didn't take any pictures, but will try and remember to bring my camera tonight.

Oh Yeah thanks Chris (DIrEctQL) for holding my hose last night while I bored out that hole. LOL
Sorry Chris I had to!

Understatement of the year

Bob, your car is fantastic. I'm very excited seeing the 400 get boost. I know the I-6 is smooth, but nothing compared to the V-8.. Can't wait to see the numbers!

I'm sure I've seen your car/motor/tran before.
I go to Top Setup once a while. I'm the guy with a blue and yellow race integra. Not sure if you've seen it sitting there before.

Oh man! That's some serious undertaking. I am so amazed by what projects some of you take on. I don't even want to ask how much blood,sweat, tears, and most important, $$$$ you will have spent once the project is completed. Nice work



I thought I did well when I did my first brake job

rdm20fan

Hey Wai, we've exchanged friendly hello's.
My SC is the white one thats in the shop right now. I'm sure you've seen it, it's been there enough.
LOL

rdm20fan

Thanks amul The car takes up alot of blood, sweat, and $. She hasn't made me cry too much, but it may happen!

I've just learned to be patient and work on it as I can. No deadlines.
