In germany, is no problem to go lower, the have no minimum. the experts in Austria have no eggs to say, yes, he can drive with 6cm space... no no.. the rule say minium 11cm or with maxium axle load 8cm. .we have also no loud exhausts, only 1dB louder as in the papers. my SC have 81dB official
next is install all this with a Spec stage 3 clutch and a NST Short Shifter. now, i have a 4.08 diff with a TT LSD installed, but i change this to a 3,76 in a TT housing with a TRD 2-Way LSD all parts here, i waiting of the correct spacer for the pinion gear, is this ok, i will calibrate the LSD correct.
here was the first failure from my car, the pressure plate was over 1 year in my garage, like new, but little bit rusty on the bolts for the centering plates, ands my car shakes after starting, tranny removed, failure found, rusty bolts, pressure plate not centerd
FAIL:
one side
opposite
i used rust dissolver and a rubber hammer to fix the problem
so.. next "normal" step
tranny installed, clutch lines and wires in the engine room
hello tripod! but the tripod had contact with the tunnel... ok.. cut the metal and make a own tunnel cover, the original metal is not more available
MY Friend Robert makes me this stainless steel plate
next step, modify the drive shaft, my first idea was, to use the oem SC400 and weld on the front part from the MT, is possible, but not good, the front part from the SC400 is sliding, not good, driveable, but not good. i orderd a used front part from a supra and from UKa soarer rear part.
clutch line bleeding, its not difficult, with a good vacuum pump is this in 5 minutes done
driveshaft installed for first testdrive
its ok for a test, but i changed to the right combination of drivehsafts.
Shifter and boot installed
original shifter from W58 from supra ( the tripod is a 1/2" longer as this from the SC300) the ball sits low in the gear geater, and on 2-4-R is very close to the frame
Supra TT Diff (3.77) with TRD 2-Way LSD ready for install
Diff is installed, next step, shortshifter from NST modification with the oem shifter to have the shifter in the center of the console, around 2cm higher for the best position to shift.
i changed back from the alloy bushings in the tripod to the original rubber bearings, i think, the tranny makes for me to much sound, but my clutch bearing makes also a noise, its maybe not perfect adjusted, but the clutch works fine!
bad picture, i used 5-7mm thick piece from am fuel hose (10mm) cutted this and used as centerpiece between shifter and boot.
works perfect!
on the ECU, i cutted the cable for R, to connect this to the yellow cable from the shifter switch with D (for the cruise control) and P for starting. This is the only cable to cut on the ECU, its a blue one.
permanent Sport Modus (bulb in the cluster removed)
wires from the shifter switch connected, the 2 seperate red lines, are the wires to the reverse light switch on the tranny
yellow box connected on the orange connector from the gauge cluster, all cables here (plus, minus, signal) to install it easy
little chaos
position for the yellow box
okey.. all driveshafts arrived! ready for puzzle
The flange on the TT Diff was the big one for the Supra TT, but i need the small one for the SC/Supra NA) change on the car, and the flange tightened with 140Nm (toyota manual) ok!
installed, but in the winter, i will rebalance the complete shaft, i have minimal low frequency vibration on over 140km/h (you can here it later in my video)
bellhouse with maintenance hole for the clutch bearing to degrease this
the car feels now much more sporty as before, a complete new character, no cruise car more, you can cruise, if you want, no problem, without the rubber band feeling from the AT. The engine have a new sound with the MT, you feel each millimeter from the gas pedal on power, no waiting, the best upgrade i have done. 2-3 little things still to do ( drive shaft balance, resistor to simulate the AT, clutch pedal adjustment, clutch bearing sound) and its finished.
yes, the car is faster, you can see on the video, now 5 gears, before 3+OD and a torque converter, big difference, only, i have to learn to use the clutch pedal near 3 years my both cars (SC and Daily) are AT´s

Silencer from the midpipe removed and Vertex Clear Side Marker installed
