R154 + RedLine MT-90 = shifting not so bad.
Toyota over engineered the piss out of the R154.

absolutely, i can't imagine what their safety factor is for the design process, but hey....im not complaining :icon_razz

300 is a good price, i paid 380 before shipping on my first one.

i had a friend find one for 250 that is a rebuilt unit, shift's nicer then the unit i paid 380 on and put a rebuild kit into,

i have seen r154's sale as high as 450 before shipping, i would assume higher for a 1jz or soaror r154 (different extension housing)
