After talking to Ryan about driving Johnny's in Moab I am actively selling organs for $$ for gathering parts lol!! I think I'd like to do this and then a turbo down the road, we shall see.

How long do you typically have to recover the $1000 core charge after purchasing the rebuilt one?Please tell me you are going with a OEM -60A40.
C'mon man. Do you even have to ask?Please tell me you are going with a OEM -60A40.
You are eating the core charge. Toyota is not going to take a 4speed back in place of a 5speed.
They do check those key details.
LOL!! Yes, I was not suggesting that .... but I do know of a part out that I may be able get a A750 from for real cheapYou are eating the core charge. Toyota is not going to take a 4speed back in place of a 5speed.

Buy one from Mr T, pay the core charge, bring in salvaged A750 to recoup core charge ...
If I was to choose a Toyota floor shifter for this kind of swap, it would be something like this 2010 4 Runner with P-R-N-D selections and then a 'Sport' selection that has manual +/- gear shifting in 'sport' mode. Our 2010 Camry has this same pattern and it's pretty great. With some creative 3D printing, I'm pretty sure I could get that shifter stuffed into the Land Cruiser, and this 2010 4 Runner shifter is already driving an A750F.Are we shifting the conversation back to my Lexus shifter question I had a few months ago?

Yup. That will work.

A proper gear indicator on the dash cluster would change the scenario dramatically.

We tried. It is way too tall to work well in the cruiser without doing a completely new console
Actively working on it

Just looked into and I don’t think it will
The only reason I want to get this A750 tranny is to have the D light back on.
Wouldn't this work? Universal Gear Shift Sending Unit - https://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1222/category_id=401/mode=prod/prd1222.htm
edit: probably NM, looks like only 4 forward gears shown on the gear sender Dakota offers.

So I have been down the “Gate Shift” road before…Johnny, I really like this shifter. Could you get it to work? 2000 500SL/SL500

in an 80…
with an a750F…
Cummins R2.8 in front of it. The shifter was a pain in the ass. It was cool but there is no way to standardize it or make it easy. Getting it to work was like a 40 hour endeavor (choose your favorite shop and add up that time lol). There’s a reason I didn’t pursue this.

That's all I hear Johnny saying.
He just proved it's possible. Let's get it done.
I see a Deltavs x Cruisers & Co collab on a shifter console...
