well after a clip/throw out bearing debacle THANK YOU JOE-BFLATSHARP!!

i was having and finally got figured out. 

got my r-154 tranny at a good deal shipped from a clublexus member..MARK!!! 1992 SC400

it's from a mk3 turbo supra so the bellhousing is useless and the shifter housing needs to be extended..

so to get this sucker running in my car will cost an additional $1,100.00+ (yes that much) heres what i need to make it happen

^^both cheaper than driftmotion

and some misc parts from drift motion. i do plan on saving some coin by getting my pressure plate bolts from ace hardware like i did for my w58.

but getting this "almost" bulletproof tranny is not cheap. and will wait till i grenade this w58(hoping that dosen't happen). is there a way to just exchange the guts into the different housings??

so, to my dismay i was about to fork over $50+ for a tranny mount. then mark told me advance sells them for.......

$8.00 bucks. so i was like holy ****!!! 

looks just like the oem one also.

so more shocking was the price of a knock sensor $102 at autozone. and i need 2 of these. broke one off so used the ones from my spare ge engine(hope that works).

so went to the kc junkyard today. and suprise suprise out of nowhere there was a mk3 supra. okay no big deal. opened the hood and spied a clutch master cylinder!!!

tranny and driveshaft was all there. so scored the front part for $25.00 beans(go me).

perfect fit. the way it ought to be.

comparing the w58 and the shorter sc300

and heres my bastardizied driveshaft finally.

so i was hoping by some pure luck the yoke on the w58 would also fit on the r154??

didn't happen. but by chance before i put the sc300 front half in the garbage pile i gave it a shot!!

perfect. so i might just change yokes when/if i slip in the 154 to save lot's of coin.

stay tuned, now all i wait on is my harness and a radiator and it will be getting inserted!!
