This is why the Japan-market Soarer extension housings (and the recent copies that Xcessive Manufacturing makes) for early non-tripod R154's in those cars is a direct fit in those tunnels exactly like the early SC300 W58. Tripod transmissions aren't a direct fit in factory manual 92-94 SC300's for this reason. Either the tunnel has to be swapped to the tripod style tunnel or cutting has to be done to fit a tripod transmission in a 92-94 SC300 factory M/T.

1995-1997 SC300 original 5-speeds, 1994-2000 Toyota Soarer 1JZ-GTE's with R154's and all MKIV Supras originally optioned with manual transmissions (W58 or V160) all use the same exact tripod style transmission tunnel.

Not sure about the OEM SC leather wrapped shifter end fitting the Tremec's shifter thread but it would just be a conversion adapter with some flat edges to be tightened on and removed with a wrench before putting on the SC shifter end. I don't know if this has been made yet.
Good stuff! Thank you!

Im very curious as to how it feels.. I drove a hellcat once and the clutch pedal was super fricken stiff and the engage point was very low.
&
If i have a 99', without the tripod style transmission mount how will this differ for me ? more fab work outside of the kit provided ?

The transmission feels very mechanical....short and precise shifts......the disengagement of clutch is about an inch from the floor.

For automatic you will need to modify the tunnel to make it fit or put in the v160 tunnel.
