JZX90 Auto To Manual Conversion

Here is some details on the transmission tunnel for those who like to get on the Auto to Manual conversion on a JZX90/GX90

This is the R154 gearbox on the stock GX90 auto chassis. Look at the rubber boot and gear lever hitting the chassis. The gearbox mount is far away to be bolted to the chassis.

Some measurements are made and chassis are cut.At this point the front shifter linkage still stuck under the tunnel,hencc the gearbox mount could not be bolted.

A further measurements and cuts are made to clear the shifter linkage. Now it is clear and gearbox mount could be bolted down.

To cover up the gaping hole,a piece of Manual JZX90 chassis tunnel is cut and welded to the Auto chassis,now the gear lever gaiter can be fitted on to the new tunnel.

Project JZX90 started!

The R.N.R Autosport JZX90 conversion project have started,it is on its way to finish now.

Engine dismantling process, out goes the good old 1G-FE with 4 Speed Auto box

Dashboard change If you guys notice on the transmission tunnel there is a black plate on top of it. This is becasue the GX90 Auto chassis is different from manual chassis,hence to fit the bulky R154 gearbox, i need to cut the tunnel to clear the gearbox and weld a piece of transmission tunnel from the JZX90 halfcut. Will show the details later on this part.

The 1JZGTE twin turbo engine,all things are stock,so i'm not expecting much kick in the butt..
