Arrrgh - #$%&!@*^% tranny.

[Supra]

Lost the damn tranny this morning in the Supra. :icon_mad:

I can shift into first gear with the clutch out, but when you engeage the clutch, it kicks the shifter out. If you hold the shifter, it grinds and forces the shifter out. I literally did nothing to hurt first gear. I've been doing 3rd gear pulls to tune but I haven't done a 1,2,3, gear pull or drag raced it yet. :cry:

What the best option here? Rebuild, find something used.... :3d_frown: I'm guessing this will have a $300+ parts fee AND I'm going to miss CHI2K6. :cry: Anyone have a R154 in the northern IL, Southern WI area that will sell cheap?

 

[whenmunkysfly]

ouch sorry man. damn if i had money (and you where close) i'd help yea out but im a poor ass.(right now) good luck though

 

[gixxer750]

Point of interest here. I have a good gearset and internals for an R154.... All that is wrong with it is one of the shift fork bolts broke off in the shift fork shaft. There is nothing wrong with the thrust washer or any of the gears.

 

[gixxer750]

Also, it is still all assembled, just doesn't have the case. PM me for details.

 

[supra90turbo]

Damn! Good luck Rich. If I were closer, I'd sell you my spare R154 for a nice price to get you out of a jam...

Rich: Welcome to the Mk3 version of "The weakest Link"

 

[gixxer750]

I think I've got him covered

Hopefully, he'll get it back on the road soon.

 

[supra90turbo]

Yeah, I'm nowhere near him, so you go for it. lol

while we're on the subject, what kind of torque will the R154 hold reliably?

Alot if you don't abuse it. The amount it will handle will vary with age, oil, etc.

*My* problem is that I'm a sucker for $100 junkyard trannies. :biglaugh:

Gixxer750 - I still need a weight....

"This is what I get for listening to Jeff & IJ." :wave:

 

[drjonez]

[gixxer750]

59 LBS for the gearset.....

I have a r154, Located 20 minutes east of Madison.

Probably just a synchro, or if youre lucky the plastic bushing on the shifter.

LOL, plastic bushing = optimist... :biglaugh: :biglaugh: Yeah it probably the TW, maybe stripped gear but doubt it. I don't know what a bad syncro on first is like, but in 3rd it won't let you go into gear at all.

 

[tookwik4u89]

I've seen the plastic bushings do that quite a bit on toyota trucks, the synchros usually start out grinding going into gear getting progressively worse until it wont go at all.

 

[tookwik4u89]

Just tear it down:biglaugh:

I'll get right on that... :biglaugh:

OK, update and thread closure:
Tranny is in thanks to "boost pssh boost". The crappy news is that the clutch slips now which hopefully will seat in after a few more miles. If "Gixxer"'s tranny parts arrive here wednesday as planned, I'll have a spare tranny 'just in case'. :naughty:

Thanks to both of you for helping me out!
