As per my post in the Crown revival thread;
The GS300 5 speed auto trans with the flanged output shaft was going to necessitate some fancy machining and a funky tailshaft as per JZK's MS55 2J build.
I sourced another 5 speed auto from behind a BEAMS 3SGE engine, this one has a splined output shaft no flange, woo hoo. These boxes are essentially from the same family, sharing all ratios, the different part numbers are for the specific differences between the two applications.
The bellhousing swapped over without any hassles,
The torque converter from the new box will bolt up to the 2J flexplate,
The pan will need to be swapped to shift the trans fluid dipstick to the other side, or plate the hole and shift the existing dipstick.
The main electrical connector for the solenoids is direct plug and play so no changes required there, same with the smaller elec connections,
The electrical connector at the shifter quadrant is different, should be simple enough to change quadrant boxes,
Time to get down to the shed and do some work,
cheers Chuck.
