its you who is not understanding.

"buy a rusty supra for its 5 speed tranny"

that way you get EVERYTHING not just a tranny. you get the pedals... cylinders...hardline... clutch... not to mention all the dirt boots and leather boot...

i posted "my sorry" before i read your new post..
ill see if i can find a rusty supra, idk if i can its not popular in my town,
literally,
there is only one supra in my town, its a 91 tt.

find the parts where you can. but the easiest would be to find a super cheap 5 speed supra. because im not sure if the cressidas 5 speed drive shaft will work in the supra.

good luck finding the parts.

also got a hook up to a really good salvage yard,

Yea I have 5 junk yards in my area and they all had at least 1-2 supras in them but not one was a 5 speed but it doesn't matter to me mines already a 5speed

wow i got an offer on a tranny
I GOT NO MONEY! >_> wack!

i know same here,
but
soon ill have my tranny,
quick question..
the w58, is it a good tranny? other words..i wanna eventually put turbo on..should i just get r154 or take the w58?

i wanna make sure im not spending money on something that i have to swap out later on..

The R154 weighs a good amount more but is FAR more robust. It's not as smooth shifting as the W58 though. You don't need the neutral start switch still in the car, remove the AT's computer and wire the NWS's two wires into the clutch safety switch.

You're going to need a lot of little parts too...
