Hi Everyone,

I have searched and can not find a actual answer to my question. Which is if i swap a W58 in to my IS with is auto right now. Do i have to find a W55 to swap housings or can i just put the
W58 in and its a little long or short?

Also which flywheel and clutch do i have to use?

Like i said i searched and cant find apost or person said you need this and thats it.

Thanks For your guys help

Heres some pics of the Wagon

 

I recently did a W58 swap myself, but I was swapping from a W55. I can tell you that you will need the bellhousing from the W55 to make the transmission the correct length. Also you will need the tail-housing / shifter assembly from the W55 as well. As for clutch setup, I'd suggest to go with the MKIV Supra N/A clutch setup. So you need the flywheel, flywheel bolts, clutch kit (disc and PP). I think the W55/W58 throwout levers are the same, but I just used my W55 one. Also you will need an 80mm pushrod for the slave cylinder.

If you haven't already, go and search on my.is as well.

 

i just did this swap to my 01 Auto and i use the w58 bell housing and simply cut and welded the fork that holds the shifter to make it sit center and i did a custom 1 piece drive shaft. i put it to gather on a 1,100 budget.

Do you have any pics of the part u welded? what clutch and flywheel set up did you use?

I haven't had any shifting problems Whatsoever really smith and solid and ill be beating the gears se time. Lol

 

Ya I guess it can be done that way too

 

Keep in mind that the tripod is only on the W58 from the NA Supra or later model SC300 like 1Gis300 has so this modification may not work on earlier SC300 W58's, therefore requiring the W55 rear housing and driveshaft.

 

So if i get one that looks like R154 tailshaft housing it will be to long and cant be modified is what your saying?

 

At that point you may need to find a W55 tailpiece and swap it out.
