This one:

http://www.driftmotion.com/W58-Rebui...o-p/dm1758.htm

However I would double check by calling Driftmotion and verifying that this kit works in both the 1992-1994 SC300 shifter extension housing W58 as well as the 1995-97 SC300 and 1993-1997 Supra NA "Tripod" W58.

The way DM's description is written it seems to refer to the tripod versions but it could be both.

I believe my SC400 was swapped using a Tripod W58, how can I confirm this?

Deegee, I would remove the cosmetic shift bezel/boot, remove the plastic trim from the center console and remove the dust/heat boot if present (since this was a custom installation). When you do this you will be able to see if the shifter mechanism is the early shifter extension housing type or the tripod type.

You could also do this by taking the car to a service shop, putting it up onto a hydraulic lift and inspecting the upper rear section of the W58 transmission. It should be easy to see if the shifter apparatus is in a fully enclosed casing that extends slightly over the tailshaft or if it is the tripod type which has a metal cage enclosed around a rubber boot covered piston-like protrusion.
