Yeah... it sucks.. lol
The pedal goes into the floor, not the firewall. You need to extend the piston to even bleed it... I cannot get a good bleed on it because im only using 2/3 of the entire stroke (hitting floor). It does not bolt up to the cross beam under the dash so it wiggles when its bolted to the master cylinder (the firewall isnt THAT strong)... Its starting to tear the firewall because of the extra support not being there.
I think thats all my gripes... all in all, it sucks and I cannot wait for the new pedal

In order to make the Howe throwout work on my SC300 W-58, How do I go about measuring for the spacer? I have a spec 2+ in my 1jz w-58 and it is not releasing fully, Bled the line and all that jazz still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Well is time to spread the word. 1uz + W58 can be done... and pretty easy mind you.
A couple of notes.
I am not responsible if you mess up.
Main Parts
1uzfe W58 Swap Kit (Quantum-Auto.com)
-Adapter Plate
-Flywheel (Steel or Aluminum depending how deep your pockets are)
-Pressure Plate
-Full Face DF Clutch
-Clutch Lines
-Howe Bearing Spacer
-Alignment Tool
-Pilot Bearing
-Bolts to attach adapter plate to the bellhousing
Parts you need to source
W58 Transmission from a MK4 Supra OR SC300 - Any year - DO NOT USE AN MK3 Supra W58
Howe 82870 Throwout Bearing
SC300 Clutch Pedal
SC300 Master Cylinder
SC300 Manual Driveshaft
Shifter Bezel Trim Piece
Shift ****
Modifications - Rated 1-10 (1 easy, 10 hard) scale
Cut the transmission tunnel for shifter to poke through (2/10)
Drill out the 2 small holes in the stock transmission crossmember (1/10)
Drill bellhousing for hydraulic lines to stick through (1/10)
Grind down bellhousing in certain areas for clearance (I think there were 3 locations) - (3/10)
Thanks Sean for taking photos

Very nice write up Redpheonix!! Definitely going to do a manual swap in the future. Auto is nice and all but it would be nice to have a manual transmission again especially in the SC400.

The difference is the shifter will land in a different area. I am not 100% sure if the spline is the same for the driveshaft either.
I cannot give you exact dimensions, still waiting for someone to try it.
Thanks... still going strong btw!

Hey Redpheonix,
Which part of tampa are you located at. I'm in tampa every other weekend and would love to look at your car. You have inspired me to do the same.
