either way, the tranny wont fit. The shifter assembly will come up through the radio. The tranny itself is the same but the whole shifter mech is different. The sc shifter sits a few inches back.

You can buy a sc300 w58 for peanuts. I sold one for a $100 and another for $200.

w58's are dirt cheap in the world of trannies, but if you are looking to make your car anything over 300 whp then i suggest the r154 as the other budget trans setup. see my sig for a how-to

no problem. they can be costly but if you find one on one of the islands you can take it as your carry on if you buy a second seat, thats only like another 40 bucks depending on where ur coming from.

where in hawaii are you? i will be there in the early summer to hit up some skimboarding on kaui.
