Yup 97 were the last manuals. But there was someone who swapped a 99 i believe cartmill, but i doubt he is parting it out.
Anyways
Tomorrow or today is the big day!
I just wanted to jack up the car and call it a night but i got a little carried away

Got the transmission off.
Mods if possible, can you change the title name to
sc300jz's 5spd swap (Picture heavy, No 56k)
Since theres a lot of pictures.
