Does this kit include a crossmember?

No. MK3 kits do not include a crossmember because the OEM mounts inside the tunnel must be removed and a crossmember fabricated to fit.

Why does the MK3 kit use a front mount shifter when other kits use rear mount?

The Supra MK3 is one of the chassis the front mount shifter is designed for, along with the 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, MKII Supra, BMW E30/E36 and various pickups. The front mount cannot be used in an MK4, SC300, GS300 or IS300 because it places the shifter in the center of the radio.

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.

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 do I need to supply myself?

The bell housing from an automatic 2JZ in J1, J2 or J3, the GM T56 slave cylinder on the base kit, and a fabricated crossmember.

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.

Shifter — why this kit uses the front mount

The Supra MK3 is one of the chassis the front mount shifter is designed for, alongside the 240Z/260Z/280Z, MKII Supra, BMW E30/E36 and various pickups. It is not usable in an MK4, SC300, GS300 or IS300 — in those the front mount position places the shifter in the center of the radio.

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. 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, installed 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.
