Hi all,

Just wondering Is it possible to fit a 1994+ 3.0GT soarer with a Manual supra five speed Gearbox? Im quite sure its able to be done as the 2jz-ge is a supra motor. So has any one seen this done before.

Theres just something about the inline six that I prefer over an Auto v8 one, especially if it was a manual 2jz-ge... Just love that 6 cylinder sound and the fact these 3 litres are alot newer and a bit more simple in regard to electronic features etc...

I think the W58 should go in OK.

Yes - a Manual SC300 :-), It would sure be Something rather different In my opinion - Nice and original!

Ive always liked the 6-cyl NA 3 litre Japanese cars but none seem to be really decent, theres the 300zx, supra and a few others. However they lack quality and the superior styling like a soarer has so really I think its one of the better ones out there that combine luxury and I6 performance. Let alone a manual one. Mmmm!

So Im pretty much just wondering If any ones actually got one with a manual fitted and If they think its a worth while project :-)

The W58's are getting a bit old aren't they? These are found in the 1983 MKII Supras aren't they?

Yeah, Thats quite a good point Darryn. It would easily cost $3k if it was to be done just right.

Mike, there is another thread at moment askingabout manual conversions. Check it out.
A W58 out of a 1986-93 Supra is not likely to be much help. Wrong bellhousing for a JZ engine.
You really need a W58 out of a JZ Powered Supra N/A. Not sure what tailshaft you use of modify.
You could also use an JZ/R154.
Generally speaking, the project sounds like a nice idea to me if your keen on sticking with an N/A engine. Otherwise, go buy a TT factory manual. A couple for sale on the forum at the moment.

The W5x series gearbox's were used from like 1981 through to almost today (I believe in the last year or so they have stepped up to the 6 speed?)

They came in the old celica's, old supras, mid supras, late supra's, is300's (in USA), amongst many other cars.

The NA JZA80 came with the W58 and it had the 2JZGE just as the JZZ31. If you found a manual conversion kit for the Supra I'd be very surprised if you needed to do much more than alter the driveshaft and get a manual console insert.

What about a shift kit on the stock auto for a cheeper alternative? I mainly want the changes to be quick, rather than dull and lazy. This would probably cost around $300-500 from what Ive read in the past about shift kits. Any one done this to their automatic?

Although turbo that 2jz-ge motor sounds absolutely supurb. Something different to the v8 for a change. :-) Love thats gear change at the start...
