I've said before, the gearing is not the issue, we are talking about .10th's of a ratio difference.
The issue is getting it all bolted up.
Whoever does that first, will be able to answer all the questions regarding installation, quirks, etc.
Honestly, the small amount money involved and fabrication regarding this swap totally outweighs "Drift Taxed", Worn out R154's from Old Supras.
I can't wait to see some install pics!

Hi, I'm the guy with the Solstice. Quick note about the Colorado transmission, if you go that route you're going to have to fab a custom front plate for the trans otherwise you'll bottom out crap on the bolt holes that are on it for the Colorado throw out bearing and it'll randomly lathe itself and ruin everything. Also I THINK the input shaft is longer, and would definitely bottom out on the crank as well. We thought we would have this issue with the solstice transmission and would have to get a spacer cut, but it worked just fine without it.
S10 clutch holds just fine, it's just about the same diameter as the supra disk except with GM splines. We're using a spec stage 5 hd pressure plate.

You will need to make a custom front plate for the Colorado transmission, the bolt holes that are on it for the colorado throw out bearing stick out too far and will interfere with the JZ throwout bearing/pressure plate. The one's on the Solstice transmission do not stick out as far. More importantly, I'm pretty sure the input shaft is longer, which would bottom out on the crank, but don't quote me on that.

thanks for the info, its looking like the colorado is not the way to go.
Looks like the solstice with the s10 clutch and getting the shifter/housing modded.
can you explain more what you need on the driveshaft end for the solstice it was a little hard to read through all the stuff in that other thread.
