3Y bellhousing and it moves to the correct side. Puts your starter where it should be too. I think I paid $140 for my bellhousing with fork and throwout retainer. Shitload cheaper than what your talking about, and has the added bonus of keeping heat away from the starter.

Fish,
Mate there are alot of small things that you need to work out,

I dont have a W55 box so cant look at the nose but suspect it has a bolt on front main seal? this makes it very handy unbolt that seal and use it to build your adaptor to you slave/bearing
Your adptor/space for your slave will need to be machined to house the oil seal inside it so essentially it will now be a ,adaptor,spacer,seal

So purchase your slave and clutch work out how much throw is required and how much throw is avaiable on your slave.
work out how far the pressure plate, flywheel, clutch face so on is frmo a common point and use this to work out how much spacing you need to engage your slave as much as possible,
BUT be careful they have a spigot up the guts of them that wont retract and the friction plate will creep backward when you engage the clutch make sure there is NO possibility of these hitting,
I have had to machine adaptors down to within .5mm to get enough throw and still clear the spigot/friction plate.

Another issue is bleeding them, you will have to run a remote bleeder, normaly as a braided teflon hose to a more accessable place there is also a good chance you will have to cut a hole in your bell housing the bleeder MUST exit out the top off the slave and it seems logical to cut a small hose to allow the hose stright out, you can run your clutch line through the same hole i have seen clutch lines get caught in clutches so its best to keep minimal line inside the housing.

The first time you bleed and operate it NEVER put the pedal to the floor do it purly by feel and dont go past friction, you need to establish your pedal throw.
Jack the rear up and get a mate onto the wheel put it in gear and slowly engage the clutch as soon as he car turn the wheels put your stop about 5mm lower than that,
If you over throw one of these (specialy with a running engien) you will damage something,
normaly it will damage a seal somtimes the pressure plate and the actual slave itself.

Got any questions?

going to use a different bellhousing now.

but thanks for the info merc-blue. Yeah i had to make a pedal stop for the supra box into the v8. or it would grind :S
