CASHEYE Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ok, second time around. I tried to post this earlier but for whatever reason (iPad related) it didn't work. Right so all I want to know is are shifters gearbox specific and or can you get adapters to change the auto shifter from the supra. As I'm changing the interior I'd like to change the style of the shifter, not just the lever. In my head, the shifter is just a large selector switch so as long as you match up the wires from each selection/gear to the original plug/socket it should work. Or is it much more complicated?

Al Massey Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 A few guys have converted the shifter to look like a manual so it is doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Maybe one from a GS300 MK2 would fit? That has more of a j-gate design like my tiptronic iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASHEYE Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I was thinking more along the lines of a Cheetah SCS Shifter. It might just be a case of picking up a second supra shifter and butchering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it much more complicated? It's more complicated. The shifter does have switches to signal to the ECU and the dash, these you could re-wire. But more importantly the lever is physically connected to the spool valves in the gearbox which select Drive, Reverse, Park etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just have to change the aesthetics of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have to input here, depending on the car (NA. VVTI etc) but on the non VVTI TT engine/box combo the style of shift lever is irrelevant as the switch is on the gearbox itself, so the shifter could be a banana in custard, as long as the input range in the box matched up, all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASHEYE Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 so the shifter could be a banana in custard, as long as the input range in the box matched up, all good Damnit, I've already got that combo for releasing the hot treacle out of the fake exhaust But thanks for the info.
