yes^^^ if im not mistaken the linkage need sto be shortened by about 1 inch or so , I have a book that i write these things down in ,,with the proper links and threads and useful info etc...

If I find a shifter with a d4 ill jump on it ,,if not ill just keep waiting

i know right with the demand for the shifter going up somebody needs to marry something like this
from an audi TT automatic...

Guess the thread got moved. Here are finished pics of the harness. I had an extra cig plug which fits the 97 connector going to TRAC switch. Now everything is plug and play.

Default TRACY switch location

For SCs factory equipped with bezels that do not have space for the TRAC switch the alternate location for the switch is a covered cutout located to the immediate right of the fuel tank and trunk release lever assembly under the left dash. The switch is a different form factor, but it's the intended spot. The correct switch can be ordered from Lexus parts suppliers or found in salvage yards. Extending wires may be required.
