I know. Nice catch. I just mocked it up for the pick. I left it like that over the weekend at work and didn't want to lose any bolts so I hand tightened them all in.
It's been 50 miles of breaking it in so far and all hissing noises has ceased. Engagement is very smooth and no chatter at all...
Drove my car for the first time in 4 months. New clutch is working good. Hearing some weird noises every now and then during engagement and an occasional crunching noise in the rear. Not sure what that's all about. Weird thing is that the engine is idling a whole lot smoother with the 4 month...
Were you using a SPEC flywheel or a Fidanza? I'm using a Fidanza.
Here's a pic of the Aisin disk on the RPS PP. (Yes I know it's on backwards).
All mounted up.
Engagement is really smooth, but I'm hearing a hissing noise as soon as my foot touches the clutch pedal. Basically anytime the...
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I've driven my Supra less than 1000 miles since I've own it. Only maybe 100 miles since the new engine and standalone install. It just sits while I pay for a tags, insurance and a garage to store it. The only reason I still have it is I know it'll never bring...
Replaced the old worn carrier bearing.
What a difference! No more shaking like mad while I'm moving. :)
Clutch engagement in first gear was still not very good. Very chattery and only way I wouldn't stall out was if I dumped it at 3000rpm. Once I started moving it shifted fine. I decided...
Replaced my shot carrier bearing. What a difference! No more fillings popping out of my molars. Best part is I found a reliable source for a direct fit bearing for under $80. Tomorrow I'm pulling my trans and swapping out my chattery Spec Stage 3 six puck clutch for a RPS Max Pressure Plate with...
I stuck a smoke tester in the vacuum port of both my Aeromotive AFPR and my friend's Aeromotive AFPR (different models). Both showed smoke coming from the top adjustment bolts. I turned the bolt to raise pressure, put a small o-ring at the base of the bolt, then tightened it to correct pressure...
Oh, I still heard a jingling noise is the rear as I drove. The diff was just rebuilt so I hope that's not where it's from. I know my carrier bearing is shot and has a bunch of movement, so hopefully that's what's causing the noise. I plan on replacing it next week anyways as I already have the part.
Finally, after 4 months of sitting I decided to have my car towed back to my garage from work to drop the tranny. For shits and giggles I attempted to shift the trans into first while the engine was warming up. Low and behold it shifted from neutral into first no problem. I started to engage the...
Price seems about right for the forums, but won't be a quick sale on craigslist for that amount. You would need to ask around $6500 and then that will make people think they could low-ball you $5k. Which would be giving it away. Honestly, I think that oxblood interior is what's hurting you the...
Such low miles and sitting for so long leads me to believe that it will have some serious leaks. Just about everything rubber would be dry rotted by now. Should be a good project tho.
Same thing happened to me. In my case the r154 came out of an early MKIII and I didn't know at the time to swap the little plastic speedo gear that goes in where the speedo cable connects into the trans. As a result, my speedometer is around 10% lower that what I'm actually doing. So the tach...
Motor sounds fine. But once it's running the trans is locked out of all gears. With engine off the trans goes into each gear fine. When releasing the clutch pedal while I'm in gear there is a lot of chatter. Can't see much through inspection covers. Had a friend look in while the car was in the...
I'm pushing around 430ft/lb of torque at the wheels, so that clutch setup may be pushing it. Surprisingly, my old Spec Stage 3 clutch has held the power just fine for a while, but I grenaded something in there a couple of months ago doing a burnout and have to drop the trans. If the clutch is in...
