Proper W58 for the sc400 Swap
Hey everyone,
So my swap is close, Im excited to see that
auto stick leave and bring my car to life,
I know I have read about various W58's, say if
they are off a supra mk whatever? or a sc300,
what one would be the best for the swap?
if a sc300, what years? if a supra what years?
ide appreciate the help.
thanks everyone.

I used a JDM W58 but have seen the same set up from a later model Supra NA. The shifter extension is about perfect, has the electronic speedo sender and allows the use of a short shifter. That's a R-154 in the back with the JDM extended housing, we ended up fabricating an extension for it.

yes is300 does not use a W58, these guys are correct and the w55 they do use is much weaker than a w58 and I would not consider putting it behind the v8 for a second.
you need one from an sc300 or a mk4 supra, if you get the 95+ you will get the newer style remote tailhousing but this is not necessary, any of them from the above cars will get the job done.
If you want to use a mk3 trans, forget the w58 and do the R154 swap, dont they make the adapter plate for those as well?
