Okay heres the deal 
Ive been offered a W58 Gearbox (5 Speed from a NA JZA80) with clutch pedal, cylinder, everything that i need for $1500. 
Has anyone put a W58 into a 1JZ? The Manual JZA70's used Getrag 154's but they are like hens teeth second hand with the 1JZ bellhousing. Its from a 2JZ and from the picture in my engine handbook the back of the engine looks the same from memory so it should bolt on... in theory.
Will the W58 fit in the transmission tunnel? 
Tail Shaft? an idea for getting one made.. i rang a few people but they all laughed at me on the phone or couldnt give me an answer. Ive been told to speak to Veem Engineering (sp?) in WA but havent called them yet.
ECU...... Can I run a manual transmission with an Automatic based ECU? Someone said ill just have a check engine light on all the time...?
Any other useful hints and tips anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated..
ill be considering doing the work myself, but if advised strongly enough not to i might get it done professioanlly... but as they say if you want it done properly you have to do it yourself..
If anyone has done this, i would greatly appreciate chatting to ya via email or something... poombah_@hotmail.com
I sick of sluggish performance from the auto box, and the huge drivetrain loss, people with same mods as me but with manual are pulling around 20-40hp more at the wheels!! 
Thanks
