mk4 short shifter for NA mk3?

[nosuprayoua]

has anyone tried this? iirc both have w58 trannys so would a short shifter made for a 5 speed mk4 fit on a w58 for a NA mk3?

 

[nosuprayoua]

well, someone told me they dont fit. just out of curiosity though, whatre the differences?

the end of the shifter that goes in the transmission, as the mk4 uses the shifter extension that i believe is mounted outside the transmission, but the shifter on a mk3 is placed inside the transmission IIRC (mk3 = round shifter socket end uses a cylindrical looking bushing, mk4 looks totally different)

 

[nosuprayoua]

are there similarities between the r154 and the w58 shifters?

 

[modmonster2008]

IIRC the mk3 stock R-154 and W58 are the same shifter

I thought the extension was only used for SC300s? Does the mk4 also use an extension?

I too remember reading somewhere that the R154 and at least the mk3 w58 used the same shifter mechanism. No real experience with it though.

here is a mk3 Supra w58:

then a w58 off a mk4 supra (i believe the mk4/sc300 share the same extension housing, im not entirely sure)

There was a thread posted like this before, though somebody has asked if the mk4 w58 fits in the mk3 supras, heres the thread for that. Hope this helps man!
