yvngkidbuu 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Anybody done a manual conversion? In the market for a new car and love the look of the IS 300 but no manual is a bummer. Also looking at a 1j/2j swap into a IS 200 but no sure which route would be cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plankton007 33 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 A W58 box will work on the IS300 with modifications. I believe you need a manual tailshaft from the 200 though... don't quote me on that. There is also a 1jz + R154 manual box package from a jzx100 chaser which should be good for most of the parts to go into a 200/300 chassis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilv1004s 98 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 plenty of box options to chose from though the gearbox prices are not cheap R154 1.5K - 2K just for the box W55-w58 1-2K add clutch and flywheel but most of all u need to a pedal set from a MT is200 and the clutch fluid resevior as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harchel6 0 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 any transmission from W55 to W58 would fit the IS300? W56 and W57 are easier to source. That is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilv1004s 98 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 as long as the bellhousing is for a JZ itll fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
