for the slave cylinder you can use an mkiii cylinder. youll also need the slave lines. you can make some from lines, fittings and the fitting tool from your local auto parts store. ive been told you can use the stock crossmember and rubber transmount but i havent been able to verify yet.

do they vary by year or they are all the same? The tranny mount and cross member

grab a supra mkiii front, use your stock rear. and swap the w58 center bearing over, and viola
i've had no probs yet.
sounds loose, but honestly, it HAS to be my exhaust leak, because it goes w/ throttle, whether engaged clutch or not.

got instructions on how to do it out of the repair manual.
