V160/V161 Getrag transmissions are manufactured in Germany, and are factory built to sustain almost any power thrown at it. The Getrag’s also require a different 3.4ratio LSD (if I’m correct). By mating the Getrag 6-Speed to the factory 3.7ratio differential, I’ve seen people redlining their Supra’s first gear at 20-30km/h. Getrag’s V160/V161 used to go for anywhere around $5000-$6000, but with the importing of Supras now, and JDM shops bringing over full 2JZ swaps & getrag’s for $5000, and the rear end for another $1500, making the value of the transmission alone worth much less. A good condition decent V160 can be found for about $3000-$4000.
So as far as the necessities go,
- 6-Speed Transmission $3000-4000
- Diff/Rear End $1500
- Any other parts needed for the swap $**** (I.E: Automatic -> Manual)
Whole swap to 6-Speed = ~$5000
Or keep it Automatic and build a straight line monster.
Nice Supra by the way, I love Alpine silver, sorry to thread hi jack. GLWS.
