I was wondering..everone that has a 1j swap...did u swap it in with or without the tranny????

Jus wondering?????

Am about to buy an 1J in about a week...and wanted to see if i needed the tanny or keep my auto tranny...

 

i'd suggest taking the tranny in with it.

trust me, unless you have to, reaching those bolts are a pain in the *** to tighten down correctly.

 

i took my tranny out with the GE when i did the swap, i was reusing my 5spd tranny, either way, take it out, i cant imagine how long it would have taken to tighten those tranny bolts with it already in the car.

 

do you mean which tranny to use the 1j tranny or the GE tranny? thats what i get from your post. i don't know the answer though. just wanna clarify

 

taking off the tranny mount and driveshaft is alot easier than removing those 8 or so bolts from the trans-engine

 

You have the option of doing it either ways. Anyone who's done it typically prefers removing the whole assembly and reinstalling it.

yea you right...whats your answer???????

 

Well, you should use the 1jz tranny assuming you do not have a stock 5 spd in your SC... I heard the stock SC autos suck.. But if you were to use the 1jz tranny i'd get it rebuilt thats just me tho.. I wouldn't trust that tranny, could have something matter with it. So just tear it apart and look at it..or take it to a shop
