W58 transmission differences/sc400 5spd swap
OK so I'm trying to research and collect all the stuff required to do a w58 swap on my 95' sc400. I have found some posts talking about how the mkiii w58 is different than the mkiv/soarer w58 and can't be bolted to a 1uz. I have also seen other posts saying any w58 will work with the right bell housing. This has got me confused?? Can I use a mkiii supra w58 with for example this kit? http://www.1uzfeswapkit.com/product.sc?productId=23&categoryId=1
Also does anyone know if I can use a rhd soarer clutch pedal assembly, or does it have to be from a LHD?

I'll answer my own Qs I guess, lol. Mkiii w58 just needs the correct shifter tripod or a Z bend short shifter kit to line up with center consol, you must fabricate or purchase the crossmember tail mount, and it needs the electronic VSS converter for speedo. Everything else is the same as "the right" w58 trans when doing the 5spd swap.
Fact: "The newer w58s are known to be stronger than the mkiii trans, and can visually be verified by the steel sandwich plate used on the newer trans"
