So time to drop the trans ? Shitty.

Throw the crawler parts in there, I'll be doing it right behind you.

I was hoping this could be the problem

 

[IndigoMKII]

Nope. That just means your clutch isn't fully releasing.

time to clean that thing and rebuild it

Group buy in on my labor

 

[Turbo Habanero]

So I let the car sit for about 3hours until I had to drive it again and it was fine no issues until I drove about 5miles then back to the same.

 

[ssideways]

get you master sitting flush again, and rebleed your clutch. also make sure your pedal is engaging at the right height and your clutch isn't preloading

 

[stevenr816]

I don't see that hindering intermittent 2nd gear. We all know what that is.

True but soft pedal was one of his things

Jordan,

How old are the master and slave cylinders?

Btw, the stuff on the bell housing, is that from the master blowing out fluid or elsewhere? Transmission seems quite dirty for how little you've driven it. I seem to recall it being cleaner is why I ask.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

I'm not sure. It was a hell of a lot cleaner before.

Slave I've never changed
Master is new but obviously not installed correct also a cheap auto zone part.

Okay Jordan, I have a Slight recipe that may work for a r154 to last a little longer than a week for you

First get al lthe MC parts

1 retainer plate
1 Thust washer
1 1-2 billet fork
1 3-4 billet fork

After that get the rebuild kit. I went with Cobra Transmision and so did Dutin. $160 for the same stuff you get from DM.

It has the upgraded/revised 3rd and 4th syncro, and the Upgraded full compliment roller bearings for the counter shaft.

Stock synchro:

Revised Synchro:

Upgraded roller bearings:

Then you really need to look at your Hub, Sliders, and engement teeth on the gears to see how rounded they are.
Mine were pretty bad, even tho it shifted fine, you want these things as pointy as possible just like the syncros. Luckily I had a friend send me sapre R154 parts, and his sliders, hub, and engament teeth were alot pointier than mine. So I used his. this sound really really help the sliders engange a given gear easier. Easier is better. Missing gears while shifting does a number on the tranny.

Here is why my sliders looked like:
This was one of the best ones, I can grab a photo of the worst ones, which was more rounded

Here are new ones you can buy:

5th Slider:

The Gear Oil I went with was the Redline Lightweight Shockproof.
The reason behind it is: Yes MT90 is amazing shit for the R154 as a daily, I just find the shockproof might help us High HP guys.

Plus it's blue which is cool

 

[IJ.]

Do that ^

 

[87supraguy]

albert did you get the 5th slider? looks like it might be a special order on the link provided. good info.

 

[BoostMonger]

helpful as fuck albert. thanks man

 

[Turbo Habanero]

Thanks again Albert for posting this.

I'm gonna order the parts asap.

 

[87supraguy]

r150 parts work with r154? maybe a dumb question but just making sure... i know they're both r series.
