*Project Log* SC400 1uzfe to W58 5sp conversion
Well I guess it is time to let the cat out of the bag on this one. Some of you know I have been working with Jake from UZA70.com - Your Toyota V8 Source! on my project....
Basically I plan on making the SC400, which never came manual, into a full fledged gear shifting luxury torque monster.
So to get the ball rolling, here is the list of what I need/have.
Bold means it was purchased.
Transmission - OEM 1995 Supra MK4 W58
Adapter Plate - UZA70 Aluminum W58>1UZ
Throwout Bearing - Howe Racing 82870
Pedals - OEM Supra MK3
Driveshaft - OEM SC300 Manual Driveshaft
Shifter - Ebay Short Throw shifter
Shift Knob - Vibrant CF Ball
Clutch Kit - UZA70 Sprung 4 pad spring Dual Friction / 1800lbs Pressure Plate
Hydro Lines - UZA70 SS Lines with bleeders
Flywheel - UZA70 Aluminum - In the process of being made
Shift Boot - OEM Toyota Console Trim/Boot
Flywheel Bolts - OEM Toyota
Rear Main - OEM Toyota
Still Need...
Misc M10 and M12 Bolts from Ace
Gear Oil
Brake Fluid
This list will update with this type of information.
=============================================
Lets continue with the items needed to make this work.
Transmission - The heart and soul...1995 W58 out of a Supra MK4. Any year SC300 or MK4 Supra will work however. As you can see this transmission has the external shift linkage (so I can use an aftermarket shifter)
Adapter Plate - Well you are not getting too far without having the transmission bolt up to the engine... UZA70 has made the adapter plate for this.
Throwout Bearing/Slave Cylinder and Clutch Lines - Since this setup does not use a fork because the adapter plate bolts up to the auto bellhousing, I must use the Howe setup.
Driveshaft - OEM SC300 Manual driveshaft.
Clutch Kit - This was custom setup. Dual friction (Kevlar and Metallic compound) 4 puck SPRUNG clutch with a 1800lbs pressure plate. Came with pilot bearing and alignment tool.
Shifter setup - Ebay short shifter and Vibrant shift knob,
And thats all for now.

It is from a MK4 Supra seen it in person. He bought it from a guy that put a 6 speed tranny in the car and sold the W58.
