I was wondering if I can use the sc300 axles on the six speed diff. Does anyone know?

One of the sc300 axles can be used. The other one you need from a six speed car because its shorter in length. I cannot believe I forgot which side is the longer or shorter side, but there is definitely a big difference.

I have one axle that came with my swap. It's pretty complete beside fork, slave and inspection cover. I just don't know what side that axle goes to.

put it next to the stock sc300 axle (the oem sc300 axles are both equal lengths). if the axle that came with your swap is shorter (like a few inches), than that's the one you need. for the life of me i cant remember which side was shorter though.

Freshen up some parts before I start installing them on the car.

I just made an order at champion Toyota so I can install my 6 speed. I will be finishing up the motor on the stand and put that together as a whole before I take the old motor out.
