97 SC400 Getrag V160 6-speed swap thread
#346
Scott - when I purchase an SC, I will be considering going this route. You said in your add that you've machined these parts in the past for $650? Is that the "going rate"? What about a custom front drive-shaft, and the adapter ring? How much extra would those cost from you? I'll happily pay whatever your rate is when I have the money to buy this car and build it.

I have machined some swap parts for a couple guys here and there to the tune of around $650. The driveshaft I could recomend a guy to go to for that. If you are serious you might want to jump on my clutch/machined parts I have for sale in the classifieds, after it sells you may play heck finding a deal like that.

Hey Scott,
Is this piece that you made useable on an NA-T GE motor?
Also could you reproduce one for my getrag swap? I am nearing the end of my parts list and I know i'm going to run into this issue with throwing belts from the jarring/shocking the getrag is going to put on the belt system. I'd rather not invest in the whole 6spd dampener system if a simple bracket like yours did the trick.
Let me know your thoughts on this and if your even willing to reproduce something like that for my application.
Thanks,
Andrew

Is this absolutely critical to the 6spd swap? Like will I be throwing belts on every hard 2nd gear shift etc etc?

That's insane having to replace the entire oil pump just to do that, there's gotta be a more cost effective solution like Scott designed for his 1UZ to keep the tensioner from slipping.

Hey Scott, do you have any finished pictures of your interior and how the new tunnel lines up with your shifter boot and center console items? I just finished a mock up of the 6spd tunnel.on my 94 sc300 and it definitely brings the openning back a good 3-4 inches.
