So its finally time i swapped my 97 sc300 auto to a 5 speed. I have been gathering the parts i need to do the swap and i now have them all so let the fun begin!

I picked up all this from my buddy for a really good price


Just so we are clear its a w58


Finally no more stupid auto shifter


This is my really S@#ty exhaust that i am sad to say is going back on for now




After about 3 hours the auto came out and i could not resist the chance to do the Capt. Morgan pose on this old thing lol






Thought i got all the oil out guess not.


The new and the old side by side




The flywheel went on with no problem


Looked kinda cool


New clutch master cylinder


New shift boot on.


Put the new pedals from driftmotion.


Now im just waiting for my new clutch to get here so i can finish it.

 

Looks like its coming along...but I never knew Jack Daniels had a pose..? Is he doing a knock off of Capt. Morgan perhaps...?

Keep us posted on the progress

 

You are right im just a little tired lol!

 

makes me want to do mine even more now. It sucks having all the parts and deciding whether or not to do the swap... but i have it on good authority that i should do it anyway...

 

Looking good. How well does the clutch pedal clear the left foot rest? Also, what is the difference between the auto front drive shaft and the one from the W58?

 

Looking good. I am do about the same thing today. Changing the W58 to a R154.

 

interesting to see.

 

Looks like mine good work can't wait to start my swap my parts car is just sitting

 

Nice! lookin good, hopefully i can start mines soon! how was bolting up the master cylinder and pedals?!

 

nice work.... secretly jealous.

 

Congrats

 

full black interior very nice... where did u get the shift boot and garnish around it? (the plastic piece) also nice work on everything. hope u have the Driveshaft already

 

sweet, i'm planning on swapping mine soon as well!

I'm taking mine from a 93 SC3 to a 97 auto too! I want to say it seems pretty easy but i'm not too sure.. hmmm

 

SWEET!

Planning on getting a SC300 soon and saw your manual swap and found driftmotion swap kit.

Thanks

thx The clutch pedal clears just fine i mean i didnt really look but it goes all the way back so im happy lol. And the diff between the drive shafts is the w58 is shorter than the stock auto so the drive shaft is like 3 inch longer thats it.

Dude get it done

Dude thats was the only thing in this swap i hated there was alot of screaming and bad name calling but we got it done lol.

Thx i bought the shift boot from driftmotion i think it looks great. And yes i have the front drive shaft.

Yea its really not that bad the only real hard part was getting my exhaust off and getting the top to bolts of the trans.
