r154 box differences

[pato]

so u can get the r154 box on
ma70
jza70
jzz30
jzx90
jzx100
and iam sure alot more.

basic question is. apart from the remote shifter is there any other differences between the boxes, particularly when the 1jz is concerned.

i have a jza70 box, with the bellhousing to suit non vvti 1jz.

i want to put it in a jzx100 chaser, but iam not sure wether.

starter motor is in the same place ?
1jz and 1jz vvti bell housings are identical ?
the gearbox mounts will bolt straight up to both ?

any help will be appreciated
cheers

I can say for certain the shifter won’t come up through the factory hole

First two are easy 'yes' answers.

Last Q is a maybe... I've seen early R154's that didn't have the required provision to take the later model gearbox mount.

Also as said the JZA70 shifter will be in the wrong spot for JZX100.

driftmotion, as a last resort can make something up that will be any length i need

its just the other questions i need addressing mainly.

I'm pretty sure this is a modified JZX100 mount.
See how 2 holes are far away from the other 2?

[CrUZida]

Pretty sure this is JZX100

[CrUZida]

This is early JZZ30

[CrUZida]

This is MA70 and JZA70 (see how its missing the rear 'upper' holes for the tranny mount?)

[CrUZida]

Another MA70

ahhhh... thanks cruzida..
thats the best help ive had by far

so it seems from that... that my box wont just work with the standard gearbox mounts for the jzx100....

are there many 100 boxes floating around ? it may be easier just to sell mine and grab one of them yea ?

would i be able to get a 100 mount modified to fit my box u recon ?

Probably easier to source a JZX100 box, or at the least rear housing and shifter/etc.

These guys might swap rear housings/etc
