w58 swap info needed
So I have my swap kit ordered from toyotav8 and now I'm just waiting to get it in the mail. However I just want to make sure I have everything I need in order to complete the swap so I wanted to varify a few things with anyone who has done this swap before. I have a mk3 w58 and a 3sgte 21 spline clutch kit. I'm using a CNC reverse swing clutch pedal with a custom bracket with an internal master cylinder curtsey of cashflo. Now I just wanted to get the shifter assembly figured out as well as the transmission cross member. I know I need to extend the shifter so it has the clearance to move freely without hiring the radio or center counsel. I saw a old thread from a member on clublexus here but it didn't give a whole of information about this. I would like to send this to a shop as I'm waiting for the rest of the parts. Any help would be much appreciated

I'm not sure where the shifter location will be compared to the KA trans but if its close you could do something similar to what I did and modify the console instead of the shifter. On the KA trans it comes through the floor about 4 inches more forward than the stock shifter. It does NOT come close to hitting the radio or anything else. I had planned on modifying my shifter also but became very comfortable with where it was. And since it didn't hit anything but the outer trim piece around the console I just made a new trim piece.
But maybe its way off with the W58 and this is all useless info.....

He was able to just cut the middle section of the shifter and modified the housing but he had a w58 from a sc300 so I was just trying to compare the differences between that one and the mk3.
