Lexus SC400 Manual Transmission
The Lexus SC400 was only offered with an automatic transmission as a stock option. However, some members of the Club Lexus community have successfully performed manual transmission swaps on the Lexus SC400, replacing the stock automatic transmission with a manual unit. This involved removing the stock automatic transmission, the shifter, and other supporting items that come with the self-shifting gearbox. Club Lexus member LoveSCs put together a detailed build project thread outlining every step of the swap, providing valuable information for anyone attempting this upgrade. It’s important to note that the manual transmission swap is not a standard feature of the Lexus SC400 and requires a custom approach.
If you are considering performing this swap, it is recommended to spend time reading through the entire thread to understand the process and requirements. Additionally, there are aftermarket manual transmission parts available for the Lexus SC400, which can be found through various retailers.
