Default Alright guys why is it so hard to get a manual swap?

So manual swapping SC400 yes ended up getting my old one back. So I am gonna make a drift car so looking for a r154 and everything for swap. Why does no jdm store have one wtf a year ago everyone had them. Anyways anyone know a place to get one for a sc from a soarer or one that's drop in.

Don't move this thread it's not a want to buy!!! It's a where to buy thread!

That guy wants way to much for it lol. I can get a jzz30 trans for allot less. I understand he may have a bit in it but If I am paying 3k to get on the road buddy I am gonna just spend 4500 and run a getrag.

Do like I am going to do and put whatever trans you want on it by either modifying the bellhousing or get you a custom adapter made by Kennedy Engineering. They specialize in specialized adapters. They have been doing it for a long time and they might even be able to suggest a good transmission for you that has already been done. If they have already done one -they will still have the files to whip one out quick for you.

Omars stuff is legit , It cost money to do a swap . You should research first on what parts you need to do a swap

It cost quite a bit to get the swap because it's hard to get used parts for it like pedal 1jz bellhousing and flywheel.

Bellhousing 350
Pedal with master cylinder- 455
Flywheel 3-400.

It adds up quick.

Guys I've getrag swapped and r-54 swapped sc's and mkiv's. I picked up a smooth getrag from a guy that was hurting for cash for 1700$ shifted smooth no problems did the swap for 3800$ lol. I'll just wait it out. Now if ohmar had the full swap pedals and all I'd pay him 2500$. But when I can call Adam up at driftmotion and get a used r154 and have the res brand new for ohmar's price if just rather buy it all new. I can't use his clutch and flywheel I am getting a Exedy twin disc for it so no use. I just don't get how your gonna buy something put all that money into it use it and then ask more than you have into it "not saying anyone in particular" lol
