I know this is an old thread but I'm posting here to get some clarification on what rubber transmission mount and crossmember were used for 2jzlex's swap.

In reference to post #10 on page 1: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/3524696-post10.html

2jzlex, in the crossmember comparison picture you said you used an SC300 5-speed crossmember with redrilled mounting holes, correct? But what rubber mount did you use for your R154? I have the same version transmission as you did and the mounting holes do not line up with the SC300 W58 transmission mount, which are offset. The MKIII R154 has parallel mounting holes for the mount.

Were you in some way able to use the MKIII transmission mount with the SC300 5-speed crossmember?

I know Shern ran into this problem with his swap and came up with a solution and companies like Driftmotion sell an aftermarket mount with spacers for the crossmember but I'd like to copy your method.

 

bumping this, I'm finally going to install my 154 tranny with my 1.5jz motor!!!

 

I know its a few years later but thanks for this man, I just got a 93 sc400 and really want to do a manual swap

 

Thanks for the great thread and Info, I'm more interested in how you wired your 2j into your 400 at the front right corner where your plugs are from ecu to the body, I don't know if you remember enough about it
