Hello to the jzx community.
If i was floating the idea of putting a manual gearbox in, what version of R154 fits? is there just two versions, standard, and remote shift?
The car is a LX80 (sedan), with a jzx81 crossmember in it, to fit the 2jzgte. The rear diff and axles were tiny,so have fitted a hiace rear axle with tightened hilux LSD.

Unfortunately yes. I refuse to use FB or any similar site.

This topic might help you a bit, however since JZX81 never came with MT from factory, im fairly sure you are looking for a non remote shift R154 from a JZA70 supra. You also need to mod the transmission tunnel as its only made to fit the W series boxes.

hey thanks for the reply. I didn't know that the jzx81 never came with a manual trans option.( But i thought that they would be fairly rare , like a manual soarer.)

Im not on fb either
I thought jzx81 was offered factory manual option with 1JZGTE + R154, but the 1JZGE was auto only.
Like m989 says same shifter position as JZA70.
