Train swap

[valboski]

Can the mk4 -V16X 6speed be directly swapped into an mk3 w the w58?

Nope definitly not a direct swap. Cost wayyy to much money. R154 and be done with it

No. Albert is working on a cd009 swap kit though

I swapped a 2wd chevy colorado trans into mine.
It requires either a shortened input shaft or a 5mm trans-to-bellhousing spacer plate, a custom driveshaft, and something to move the shifter backwards like 4-5 inches - custom mounts, or a custom shifter. (or there's the pontiac solstice transmission that has a further back shifter)

I welded a spacer plate together initially and will be cutting a new one from a solid piece on a cnc router soon.
I don't honestly know how well the AR5 is going to hold up, but they have the advantage of being 10-15 years newer than supra r154s.
