How difficult was the process? Tell me how much each of you paid? Does the stock auto ecu remain the same?

Oh no not again ....

Cost me a little over $1500 with me doing all the labor. It's easy other than cutting the tunnel around the shifter. The auto ECU will work, but the 5-speed ecu won't have the flat spots where the auto ecu thinks it's shifting.

So I take it the 5 spd ecu is a plug and play? Well, that ecu's rare anyway..

I have an obd1 5spd ecu for you... i'm local too! PM me if interested

Putting in the clutch pedal was most difficult part in my opinion.

 

[sonny12]

I paid 1g for trans, shifter, pedal assembley, clutch kit, ecu, clutch master with steel braided line, and shiped. Riding with auto ecu is okay its mainly that dang check engine light that bugs.

cool..

right on man.. there must be a way to bypass this check light though.

You can unplug the bulb, heh. The manual ecu will plug right into your harness with no modifications. I think there's only a few wires that aren't used. You can use one from an SC or a n/a supra so you could buy Garland's ecu. The clutch pedal was cake....except for cutting the holes. I think the hardest thing is getting to some of the bolts when removing the auto and of course move the heavy ass thing once it is unbolted.

manual ecu

so I don't have to do any wiring at all as long as i can get a hold of a manual ecu.

You will need to find the yellow and black/red wires for your reverse. It's the same plug for your SC as the turbo supra. That should be the only thing you need to rewire.

You just unplug your auto ecu and plug in the manual ecu.......that's it.

I have a 96 obd2 na manual ecu. make offer.

Daveh..5spd conversion

Dave.. it sounds pretty easy. Which tranny do I use on my sc300? I know I need the bell housing from the sc300, but which tranny do I use so that the shifter comes up perfectly aligned at the center console? Also, when cutting the tunnel, what is the purpose of this? Tranny fitment issues, or shifter alignment? Do I cut the tunnel from the inside of my car, or underneath?

Ask on the clublexus forums, might be some good info there too.

I already offered a complete 5spd setup up once
