Hey guys, have tried searching the net for this particular answer and cannot seem to find it, so am hoping someone on here will be able to help me.
I am interested in converting a 308 VL to manual using a 5 speed supra gearbox, using the castlemain rod shop conversion package. What I am trying to find out is, if I use this kit, will the shifter for the supra 5 speed line up with a standard VL manual centre console?? I'm trying to go for a factory look, so shifter position is important to me.
I'm hoping someone has been down this road before??

There two manual console centres, I use a six cyl one on my T5 but it popped up when changing gears so I put some cardboard between the underside clips to hold it firmer.
The other console is a Walky/HDT one and could be hard to get, I don't think these would suit a Supra unless you used a leather boot like a VK.

You can get the walky/hdt style one from hdt.

No the console doesn't, so I got an after market unit. Ground the top section back a bit. I reckon you could use a bit of plastic moulding or fibre glass a timber mould.

6 Cylinder surround should fit VN-VS T5, SV (Walkinshaw) or HDT Group A for a VL T5.
