To figure out what type of tranny you have, follow these simple steps:

1. Walk out to your car.

2. Unlock and open the door.

3. Look at the shifter, it should be located in between the two front seats, sticking up out of a bunch of plastic and vinyl trim pieces.

4. Read the lettering on and near the shifter: If it says 1-2-3-4-5-R, on the top of the shifter it is a MANUAL. If it says P-R-N-D-2-1 to the left of the shifter, it is an AUTOMATIC.

5. You can also tell by counting the pedals, checking for a dipstick, or looking at it.

If you have a manual, its the r154, automatic is a540e.

A 1jz bellhousing is required to use the r154 with the 1jz or 2jz engine.

I liked it also but if it would have been I that said you cats would have flamed me so I just let it slide.

That's right up there with going to a supra forum to ask about your mitsubishi or some shite.

OOPS!

a540e is newer, a340e is correct.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Ray.

p.s. why would you want a w58 on a 2jz? That seems like it would be pretty unreliable. From what I've heard the w58 won't even hold up to the 7mgte.

The w58 is a fine tranny so long as you respect the 400hp rating.
The r154 is supposed to be rated at 1000hp.

What kind of supra are you really building???

The w58 is not a 6 speed tranny.

If i had the money to blow i think i would stick a 6 speed automatic transmission in, however no idea how i would ever get it to work... Any ideas? ZF Transmission

Or perhaps the 8 speed? lol ZF Develops New 8 Speed Automatic Transmission - HorsePowerSports

Or a CVT type transmission
