Lets continue with the items needed to make this work.
Transmission - The heart and soul...1995 W58 out of a Supra MK4. Any year SC300 or MK4 Supra will work however. As you can see this transmission has the external shift linkage (so I can use an aftermarket shifter)
Adapter Plate - Well you are not getting too far without having the transmission bolt up to the engine... UZA70 has made the adapter plate for this.
Throwout Bearing/Slave Cylinder and Clutch Lines - Since this setup does not use a fork because the adapter plate bolts up to the auto bellhousing, I must use the Howe setup.
Driveshaft - OEM SC300 Manual driveshaft.
Clutch Kit - This was custom setup. Dual friction (Kevlar and Metallic compound) 4 puck SPRUNG clutch with a 1800lbs pressure plate. Came with pilot bearing and alignment tool.

about dang time! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
question about the W58 though. I thought that the W58s differ on our cars. 92-94 had an internal shift linkage while 95-97s and all MK IV supras had external linkage as you have (i know this for a fact). My thinking was that the earlier ones were slightly shorter than the later ones/supra trannys.

Both vehicles used the internal and external shift linkage. The cutoff for both was around 94/95. They are both the same size but the external shift linkage sticks out farther than the internal. The shifter is straight on the external where as the shifter on the internal is bent to give that extra room.
you must live alone though cuz to have all those parts around the house LoL..... Keep us up to date man hope it turnd out well

has that master cylinder been used in an SC before? its from an MKIII right? i know the SC master has a tilted reservoir and is a bit shorter, or at least seems that way.

Nice work RedPhoenix..!! I would like to do this conversion on my 98 SC400. Any differences for 98 SCs and up with the gated shifter? Have you figured out what to do with the auto gauge cluster?
