As the title states what Ive been doing, Ive read there is a few members that "think" the SC400 driveshaft will be ok.

My question is, will the SC400 auto driveshaft be usable with the MK3 R154 bolted to my 2JZGTE?

EDIT: The MK3 R154 is from a 1JZGTE motor

Thanks guys

I might be wrong I think that all the rear drive shafts are the same in the SC's. You might have mate the front half of the R154 MkIII to your existing rear. Good luck.

Sorry guy, didnt mention the only driveshaft I have right now, is the SC400's.

EDIT: Never mind, I understand what your saying.

If I do that, will the length be long enough?

Ok, the d/s. Here are some uncommon facts

The auto front half of the SC3 is the same as the R154 front half. However, the length is different.

There ARE differences (it could be year, it could be model, idk) between the rear halves of the W58 from the SC3 5 speed and the SC3 auto. It has been documented by several people as well as myself. Some have claimed just swapping the front half of the d/s has worked perfect. However, ALL OF THEM have been previously 5 speed, so that leads me to believe that there is a difference.

The SC4 d/s will not work for a number of reasons, so don't try.

Ok smart ***, I searched and didnt find that thread. Maybe I didnt put in the right words, but none the less I searched, I always do way before I ask, because of comments like yours.

Yeah the SC400 driveshaft won't fit at all. The MKIII uses a slip yolk, while the UZ driveshafts use the rubber donut. I have't messed with a 300, but I have a couple of 400s and a few MKIIIs.

You may have shifter issues using the MKIII trans too.

Just my 2c

I am in a similiar problem. all these guys say to put the mk3 turbo half shaft, but i have a couple problems with that.

1. the spindle part of it that attaches to the body makes the shaft sit lower and that is going to throw the angles all off.
2. its heavy as ****

SOLUTION:

call a driveline shop. a place that specializes in drive shafts and have them lengthen yours. for me it will work because i have a 92 sc300 auto and the splines are the same. I hope it will work for you if not i would say get a sc300 auto half shaft and lengthen that.

Do your self a favor and get the one piece from Driftmotion.com. 600 with the 4 hole flange, got a year ago and ouldn't be happier. tried to make mine work, it was short 2 inches and couldn't be extended because of the way it was made........
