Thanks but I already have plenty of engines! Could do with a soarer R154 if you have one?

I have a supra r154 same box just different bell housing but the adapter plate is on ebay if you have the auto bell housing still its easy to fit, wanted to keep for my project but times arw hard and would rather sew it go into another 1uzfe project

Not the same box
The soarer R154 has triple synchros, different ratios and a longer shifter position! Thanks though

Actually the ratios might be the same I suppose - the part numbers for the gears are revised but they may have just made them tougher or cut the edges differently.
The problem with using a MKIII Supra gearbox these days is that any I find will be at least 20 years old! Most likely at that age to have a cracked shifter or thrust washer so would need stripping down to check and replace parts.

Well i tested this one n its very smooth, all the oils was clean when removed off a sub 100k car, looks good inside too, got some interest but can get some photos if you want

Any update on this?

Not really, it's been very cold!! Last thing I did with any of it was take the sump off the Soarer engine, I'm up there again tomorrow so I'm gonna start cleaning the parts up ready to put them on the destination engine.

Awesome. I'll have to pop down some time and take a look! I've been keeping my eye out for a cheap ls400. Problem I've got is storing it though, I can't really dismantle a car at my house!
