Can a 89+ r154 be used with my 87 supra?

[86_sports_1jz]

i'm gonna buy a r154 from a 89+ supra with abs and my 87 doesn't have abs. can i use this trans for my supra? i've been told that if i use this 89+ trans that has abs in my 87 i have to do some sort of mod cuz of the abs. does any one know anything about this? let me know what you guys know

thanks, toua

I've never heard anything about that... I also don't see how a manual transmission would effect the ABS in any way.


So yes. It will work. No mods needed.

if anything since you don't have ABS, you'll have an unused plug, as opposed to needing a plug wired in.

YES, it will bolt right on, and it will not affect the ABS.
The ABS has nothing to do with the transmission. ABS is for the brakes

 

[86_sports_1jz]

thats what i figured, thanks guys

There is an ABS senso in the tranny that will be unused.

Your speedo is going to be off a bit though...

Uhm Lol? There is a ABS plug that is on the manual trans it says, Anti-Skid ) it's the the right side, ABS HAS to do with the trans as well.

^ I've never plugged anything into the R side of the trans... I've not had any problems to date.

The two plugs on my R154, one for reverse switch, and one for (what I thought) was neutral switch. But reading the TRSM yes, you are correct it a rear speed connector (w/ A.B.S.) not a neutral switch.

To answer the original question again, it is still yes, you can swap/switch the R154 from the 89 into the 87

Rob,

Just an FYI

In the MKIII Supra, the ABS rear speed sensor is tied into the R154 transmission.

So if he did have ABS. It is a plug away from working

Ding ding, DO NOT forget to either plug that RSS hole up or get the RSS. Or you will just be up chucking trans. fluid threw it. Ask me how I know this.
The plug is right above the fill plug, and if the transmission is a bit dirty, its easily missed.

Naw post whore would leave useless information, or misleading, I am sure I got you back on the right track there.

What does said sensor do?

 

[Poodles]

it's the rear speed sensor (we have a 3 channel ABS system, one of each from wheel and one for the back wheels)

 

[WhtMa71]

Oh ok. Makes sense now. For some reason I was thinking we had 2 rear wheel sensors and then the one on the trans.
