I had decided to use my tr4 project car as a test bed for new products a customer might wish to have installed.So having a supra tranny handy,I ordered a kit from B.Close at Eaglegate.
The Eaglegate conversion kit was all it was advertised to be and almost too easy to install.I kept looking for problems and things they had not taken care of.
The one short coming was that the manual is in need of updating since the kit has evolved a lot over time.The whole thing could now be just a page or two.Basically if you can put in a clutch, this kit is for you.
You must first get hold of a good supra tranny(82-85).They are out there but likely will need some re-conditioning.If you have your unit ready in advance,the entire job is little more than a clutch change.
My tranny needed a a new sleeve where the shifter ball fits down into the shift rod.I should have called Bill, but went ahead and made my own.(he makes one!)This part is expensive from Toyota.Bill was great to work with.
Most hardware is included in the kit except new bell housing bolts which need to be longer than stock as the new housing is beefier than than OE(and better!!)
I can give this swap two thumbs up for anyone wanting to go this route to better highway cruising.
