The MOST strange thing EVER happened to me just minutes ago.

I drove my supra to work today, and it was just perfect. Trans shifted smooth, shifter felt great. Came out and got in the car to leave, and nothing. No gears, no gear pattern, just nothing at all. The shifter flops around like nothing is attached.

I think, ok, shifter somehow got broken, so I break out a screwdriver and a 10mm socket. Pull the shifter, everything appears fine. Don't know what happened. looked down the hole, the cup is still there, and seems to be working. I get no grinding or noise at all.


This shit happens after two months of prep for the tx2k8 meet, two days before I leave for it.

I love what you do for me toyota!

JUST FIX IT!! You can still make it. Just bust some ass.

 

[Mk3runner]

wow, strange.....

 

[gixxer750]

I don't have another trans, my friend that owns the shop with the lift is in dallas until friday...

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Shit mate

 

[IJ.]

Sounds like you sheared the pin on the shift rod Chris.

 

[gixxer750]

easy fix? its been a while since I've been in one... in the back cover or internal?

 

[IJ.]

From memory there's one under the cup where the shifter goes but you should still have been able to get a gear just not across the H ....

 

[themadhatter]

damn thats ruff man ,Good luck on geting it fixed in time

 

[SBM713]

dang that sucks man GL fixing it

 

[mobes]

Maybe the bolt came out that holds the bellcrank that the shifter socket fits into to the shift rod? (part 33521F) That wouldn't be terribly hard to get to.

boo

 

[topguncam3888]

Hurry up and fix it! Lol isn't that what owning a Supra is all about? Staying up til 3AM working on your car FTW!

 

[IJ.]

Mobes: That's the pin I was talking about....
(been so long since I've been in one couldn't remember if it was a bolt or a pin)

he was up over 24 hrs the day before and only had 4 hrs sleep before going to work so now the trans takes a dump. better here than at some gas station half way to texas. i dont really know how well my swapped engine will turn out gettin there either. Do need a little luck.

Fixed... In baton rouge, only four hours away from houston... Spending the night on BJ's couch.

We will be detailing the car in the morning, and heading out wednesday with the crew.

What was it??

 

[Kckazdude]

Glad to hear you are on the road again. Enjoy the Texas meet.

dunno.... haven't torn that trans down yet. We put a 40k mile 1jz trans in it for the time being... I figure that trans should last a good while, since it's never had any torque run through it.

I had a new clutch I was going to throw in while it was out, but it was the wrong one. Gotta send it back to titan and get a new one. It was even stamped the correct part number on the splines, but it did not even fit all the way over the taper.

I'll yank the tail housing off the trans when I get home from tx. prob take pictures too!

 

[Ckanderson]

what kind of clutch?
