ashloys Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I just got my shifter extended on an R154 gearbox from a MK3 Supra. It needed extended by exactly 155mm to bring the shifter up right in the centre of the original automatic shifter hole, which also in turn lines up with the manual shifter surround/plastic. Also, the guy that I used to do it in Northern Ireland did a FANTASTIC job at a fraction of the price Driftmotion or anyone on the UK forums charge. So if anyone need shis info PM me.

ashloys Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nice! I just thought it would be useful as I found no concrete info anywhere on the net with what length it needed extended by, if the standard tunnel worked without being swapped to the manual one and did the standard hole position on the automatic tunnel line up with manual surround. Hopefully this makes things easier for someone doing this in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorj Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Does that mean that no cutting of the auto trans tunnel is needed for the conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Does that mean that no cutting of the auto trans tunnel is needed for the conversion? Only for an r154 from a mk3 supra, chaser r154 or 6 speed will need the manual tunnel section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorj Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Interesting, I always thought the chaser box was the way to go for the crossmember/bellhousing etc but the mk3 r154 would involve less butchering of the car then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 The tunnel needed to be hammered up a bit to accomodate the box near the bellhousing section, but not by much at all. By all means you can change the tunnel to the manual one, but it's definitely not necessary. I was prepared to buy one, but it didn't need adjusted much at all. No cutting or anything needed done though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
