Hmmm... That's not bad, but I'm aiming for 550+ rwtq.limequat;1293023 said:
I wonder if those Solstice trans synchros can be added to the r154? I'm just thinking out loud...:naughty:limequat;1293028 said:
Interest in a bolt-in Solstice trans?
- Thread starter limequat
- Start date
Island, some of us are already working on that.
As for a taller 5th - well... I don't want to comment on what's sitting on my kitchen table, until I finish the front brake brackets

interesting thread.. i really think my least favorite thing about the mkiii is the damn shift feel. that and the weight.. which would probably be lowered by swapping in a different tranny? im not about 1 piece driveshafts though. hmm. definitely in for pics/ videos/ testimonies of functioning swap...
It is worth it I think I almost bought an AR5 in paramont for 500.
They have different sandwitch plates also.
Someone was saying the AR5 haves an aluminum sandwitch plate also making it lighter.
I was trying to tell my brother who bought a soarer clip for an automatic SC400 he could get the JZ bell housing & use an AR5 which puts the shifter way closer then a supra R154 & use a custom DS for 300 and save himself the 1500+ to buy a soarer R154 that haves issues snapping the shifter brackets.

The case is much larger, requiring you to massage the transmission tunnel to fit it in an MKIII

I will let you know at the end of next week!!!
Seriously
Not 100% it is going to work yet, but I'll post up what I find out

no offense but in comparison to many modern trannies, the r-154 is terrible.
There's a bit of difference in the slop of a 20 year old tranny vs fresh.
I'll be tossing my r154 in Jeff's car hopefully sometime next week, and we'll be able to check that out first hand

Ive got a 44k mile unit, and it shifts really well, but still slightly feels like a truck.
