How do I identify my bell housing J-code?

It is stamped into the casting of your original Toyota A340 automatic bell housing. A J3 plate can be requested after ordering at the same price.

Does it matter whether I have a CD or a JK transmission?

No. CD and JK adapter plates interchange freely. The only ASE product where the CD/JK distinction matters is the front mount shifter, where the top plate bolt holes differ.

Is a driveshaft included?

No. Driveshafts are ordered separately. Steel and aluminum are both built on 3 inch tube, and carbon is also offered.

What is included in the base kit?

J1/J2 adapter plate, flywheel, Xcessive steel transmission crossmember with mount, pilot bearing, bearing rings and hardware.

Which chassis does this fit?

Nissan 240SX, S13 and S14 chassis.

What are the torque specs for the adapter plate and bell housing?

Adapter plate countersunk bolts torque to 30 ft-lb and the bell housing torques to 40 ft-lb. Both are engraved on the bottom of the plate.

Should I use thread locker on the adapter plate bolts?

No. The countersunk bolts are small and only torque to 30 ft-lb, so aggressive thread locker means stripping the heads the next time the plate comes off for service.

Do I need to cut the spud to fit the adapter plate?

No. The recess on the ASE plate is machined deep enough to clear it. This was addressed by a design change years ago, but the old advice about cutting it still circulates on forums.

Identifying your bell housing — J1, J2 or J3

The J-code refers to the Toyota A340 automatic bell housing and is stamped into the casting of your original automatic bell housing. Check there before selecting. A J3 plate can be requested after ordering at the same price.

Slave cylinder

This cut-version kit uses the T56 99 Camaro slave cylinder for correct throw. When installed the slave should sit fully compressed against the pressure plate fingers with no preload. Install it before bolting the bell housing to the adapter plate — afterwards the lines cannot be routed.
