R154 not sitting properly in a 91 auto supra

When swapping a 5-speed into a AUTO supra you must cut away part of the hole to make it larger the auto hole that Toyota made was smaller then the 5-speed one..

Who told you that?

I converted a 89 Grey Plug, seen in my "New 7M Build" thread a while back.

It was an 89 grey plug 7MGTE auto. Car was 100% stock when I bought it. I verified it was turbo and auto by the VIN plate by the drivers door and the VIN number as well.

I used an R154 out of a 91 turbo Supra and swapped it into the car using a crossmember from an 87 turbo Supra. Everything lined up perfectly, no cutting at all. That car has been sold and is now a 2JZ swap with the same R154.

Again, zero cutting at all and it was a late 89, I believe it was made in 8/89 or 9/89. It has a lot of equal space on both sides of the transmission as well.

Is the 1jz motor alighned correctly on the crossmember mounts? Are the motor mounts JZA70 oem or custom?
Check inside the engine bay. You must be sure that the motor is placed 100% correctly on both axles...
Then you should consider to check the transmission and driveshaft.

# also: Is that an R154 trans from a Supra or a Soarer ?

the motor is sitting perfectly on the crossmember mount, oem engine mounts, and original jza70 brackets..again no time to take a pic today. ill try n take one tomorrow n post it.

Wonder if I read you needed to and just did then. Good to know

In swapping an r154 into a 91 or late mk3, where exactly would the shifter hole need to be enlarged? at the rear or the front? I ask because I'm in a similar situation, except that i'm doing a 2jzgtte swap with a 5pd into a 91 auto and am planning ahead for the shifter hole alignment.
