Nice video, man! You bring it on point. 5 stars for you! I'm destroyed a few of the R154 in my MK3 Supra with 1UZ twin turbo. This engine produce too much torque for the R154. In my opinion, 800Nm (about 590 lbft) is the safe limit for the R154. So for the 2JZ world it's perfect up to 800 horses. I used it on 2J swaps a lot and with the little mods like the billet thrust washer and the heavy duty bearing retainer it's ready for some hard racing. Maybe you can add the Tremec TKX to your list, too. For people who are looking for a 5-speed, it would be a another good option instead of the R154. The price for a new TKX is about the same like for a build R154 but it can handle a lot more power. A few years ago I swaped the T56 Magnum and I love this transmission with the UZ and the 2JZ, too. It's on the expensive side, but don't forget, it's a new transmission with very good part support all over the world. Once you get it in stock trim, you don't have to think about it anymore for 90% of the people's power goals out there. Here in Germany a lot of MK4 Supra guys swapping to the 6-speed BMW transmissions (I think it's out of the 530D). It's known to handle a ton of torque and it's super cheap. I think it's more common instead your BMW 5-speed you mentioned. Maybe you can add this to your list, too.

Always a pleasure to hear John Mulaney talking about transmissions

You wrapped it up so efficiently man, really informative loved the vedio💙

Great video my man!!! Helped me plan out my build!

Thank you for the research & time on this topic!👍

Don’t forget to mention that if swapping to an R154 transmission out of the MK3 supra USDM they’ll need a JZA70 bell housing. You can find these at Driftmotion or used online. My r154 handled 622whp for years. Now with a t56 f1000 but I think it’s time for a sequential. 😅

Love the zf 5 speed trans. I have one cut and welded to a volvo m47 bellhousing running it behind my 437whp b230ft volvo engine. I love how well they take high rpm gear banging. I got both of mine from pickpulls for 180 bucks

Good stuff man! Thanks

Solid video sir. Thanks for the help. (Edit) im blown away you dont have more subs. Subbed.

Good stuff man I'm hoping to drop the t56 from grannas this year in my s30. You got me wondering now about the tunnel fitment. Currently has a r154 and that's tight.

Great video

very good information

I use the CD00A with the SERIALNINE bellhousing kit and their shifter kit. Its a massive trans. Its a bit noisy, but it has a very positive and satisfying engagement into gear.

Super informative video. What's your opinion on open or LSD differentials for S chassis Nissans

First! Dude you're killing it lately! 😁

Thanks fam

i have a 5 speed zf (turbo m52) so not on a 2j but i have been making 850hp for several years now and it loves it.

Well done Video just got 1 question wich speedsensor do you need for the R154 that it works in the Supra mk4 with the right speed.

Nice video. I am planning a 2006 350z 2jz swap and plan on using the 350z Trans it's nice to know there is a adapter kit already out there.

Thanks jordi

I swaped an aisin ar5 out of a 06 pontiac solstice using swap parts from drift motion. Cost me probably 2500. AR5 holds a lot of power.

Probably should make a top 5 uncommon transmission vids aswell

Love the intro man!! well here's what that looks like (Thi c c c c c k),..... That final drive you know what I'm sayin. 😏😂😂 Great video man!!

I have had a T56M setup on a shelf at my shop for a 2jz mk3 project. Just picked up an NA Mk4 supra With a V161. And my beater 1jz mk3 has a R154. Crazy how expensive all of these transmission are if they happen to break.

Places are selling 2jz gte vvti with v160 but replacement parts are still hard to find.

Could I use the same adapter plate for a gte on a ge? Im looking at the t56 magnum but im not sure if it’s a different plate with the gte and ge

I have a 2 gen 4runner, and I am thinking of swapping a 2jzge vvti to it , but I'm thinking of keeping it 4x4. Do you know a transmisión that I can pair with ? Originally, my truck has a 3.0 engine pair with a340h transmission, which is a whole transmission and transfer I case , I wonder if I can keep that transmission and pair it with the jz ? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have 370z trans with gs400 diff+ osgiken lsd the best

Would a R150 from Toyota be compatible or need modification to work?

Are you able to give any guidance on how much and where you had to bash the tunnel to get your gearbox to fit? I have the same kit from Grannas. Cheers!

“Cruising down the highway at 70mph at 2,400 with the T56” can we put that trans and 2JZ in a 2019 Subaru BRZ premium?

Guess I should have pulled the v161's out of the mk4 supra sz-r's I've sold over the years......hell probably shouldn't have even sold them lol

CD009 is a shit trans to use for a JZ swap, you’d honestly be better off using a Nissan FS5R30A from a Z32. For the same price as the CD you can get a brand new TT 98+ spec 30A

Wait a minute. Isn't the T56 shifter mechanism like 1 inch closer to the dash than the r154? How yall getting this to work?

i have a question, i see in some places that the cd009 transmission is listed as cd009/cd00a. is there a difference between the two or is it the same tranny ?

another popular company for an adaptor kit for the ZF to JZ would be PMC... they also so for many other applications

W58? The w58s paired to US market 2jzge motors were a bit fragile, however Toyota put more into this trans than anything else in the w series. The models after 1989 were definitely stronger, but Toyota reinforced the shit out of w58s that were originally paired to turbo motors like the 1ggte. The reinforced w58s from turbo cars are sometimes worth 4-5 times the amount than that of their NA compatible counterparts. Some say they hold up to the r154.

What about AR5? Would you recommend ?

No mention of the Chevy/GMC ar5 transmission?

The tr6060 transmission is much better than the t56

Z32, AR5, th400 bmw zf

*Where are the automatic transmissions that I can use in manual mode???*

Thiccccc

This looks like chrisfix

2003 it was the cd008 not 9

W58 can’t handle torque as well

Hello

I'm sorry... 2JZ-GTE VVTI engines are going for 10k???? I know NON-VVTI engines are up there, but there's no way VVTI's are going for that much already.

You forgot the Hilux G and J boxes. Cheap n nasty and handle heaps of abuse!!

U talk to much
