ok so I put my 5 speed for sale on craigslist. this person interested is swearing up and down i have an r151, when I thought I had a w58.. can someone tell me which one I have !?!?!? Thanks ! sorry these are my only pics.

 

here is an r154 from a mk3 supra





from what i've read there are 2 different r154's. one with an aluminum section near the rear, and one with a steel section (dark part in these pics). the tail end of yours is longer then the pics i posted as well as the webbing

 

the bell housing in the pics i posted are for a 7m motor so i wouldn't use that as a reference

 

thanks, and I changed my first post. I thought he was telling me I had an r154, I misread his text that said r151.. Im sure its not that though because that would be a 4wd trans.

 

r154 is on the left, w58 on the right

W58 and R154 Differences

 

javi from the pics i've seen all the r series trans are short in the area in front of the shifter whole and the w series are longer. i did find this pic that is a r151 for a 2wd.

 

thanks im sure its a w58.... he got me all confused. Oh well he can keep looking. thanks burnz

 

no problem

 

One dead give away is the R trannies all have steel sandwich plates. Its also visually beefier! They came in the factory turbo 2wd's and the 1 ton dually V6 flatbeds... He see's the Turbo, thats probably why he thinks its an R series trans... Sell it to him, coz they go for 5 bills+!

 

so which do I really have then lol. Hes putting it behind a 1uz in a lexus.

 

I recall the shifter you had when I went down there, so from what I remember its a W58...

 

My W58 has a steel sammich plate.

 

I'm highly positive you have W58.
