        the sc300 has a 2jz. the sc400 has a v8. if this adaptor plate this guy speaks of bolts up a 2jz tranny tot he lexus v8 you might have a winner.

          dont know much about it but a good friend of mine has an sc400 with the engine and manual tranny from an sc300....so its definitely possible, it didnt take too long so im assuming it isnt TOO difficult

              yes it would.
              Why dont you just find yourself a sc300 5 speed? Some did come stock with manual.

                  I dont know this for sure, but it wont get out of my head...I think that in the future, swaping a stick shift on to the sc400's will become more popular because you might be able to take the tanny from the new supras (when they come out) and put them on sc400's.

                      are the auto transmissions different between the sc300 and sc400?
                      there is a company think its called kennedy motorsports, they make universal bell housings and adapter kits, for this sort of thing

                        Check out www.clublexus.com, just about everything you wanna know will be found there(do a search). As a matter of fact there's a guy who's performing a manual swap on a sc400, he's listed parts he's using and also prices of those parts. Some of which he's had to source from Australia.

                            Sc400 = V8 (1uz-fe IIRC for the '92)
                            SC300 = I6 (2jz-ge -- same as '93-98 MKIV supra NA)


                            Toyota did not make a manual transmission for the UZ-block before 2005 (this meant buying an adapter from that guy in Australia for $$ plus shipping/waiting). But, for 2005 Toyota is using a 6-speed manual transmission on the V8 Tundra (finally), so there will be a factory transmission that will bolt to your block. Finding one in the junkyard still might be expensive, but depending on what transmission they use (getrag from the supra?) you may be able to buy just the bellhousing from toyota etc. Anyway, I would look into this option as it should prove helpful in the years to come

                              rod millin did this with that IS400 they made they bolted a supra 6 spd up to a lexus GS400 V8. No it doesn't bolt right in you have to make an adaptor plate im sure rod millin's shop would be able to make you one. The hard part is that the auto is hard wired into the ecu you have to do a bunch of computer trickery to make the ecu think it still has and auto tranny in it.
