    Thanks to the State of West Virginia I now know my speedometer is slow

    I converted to a 5-speed a couple months ago and thought my drop in gas mileage was due to the different gearing and the fact that I've been enjoying rowing through the gears. Last night I left Charlotte to head to Ohio for vacation. In Charleston, WV I got pulled over and was very confused...

    5-speed swap info - how to get cruise control and ABS working

    I've been trying to get the speed sensor to get my ABS and cruise control working, and it looks like they're the same damned part according to the TSRM: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BR&P=68 Can anyone confirm? Have I been putting this off when the sensor...

    Cost of converting A/C to R134a

    The local shop has my car to do an alignment and while it was there I had them check the A/C system which is shot. It's been near 100 degrees for a few days and I'm ready to get it working again. They said they didn't have enough R12 to fill my car and suggested I convert it to R134a. I've...

    Requesting a pic of the speed sensor on an R154 (need to get ABS and cruise working)

    Since I can't seem to find the definitive answer on getting cruise and ABS working after a 5-speed swap, I've decided to tackle the issue myself. So far, I can figure that the cruise control computer needs to see a signal from that sensor, which is missing from the R154 I installed. I still...

    Which way does the stock clutch face?

    The TSRM shows the clutch going both ways on the R154: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=CL&P=11 http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=MT&P=6 Which way is correct? The other side of the clutch is more round, doesn't have the 4 cut-outs...

    Need a picture of a good clutch release fork

    I've got mine and one side of the fork is noticeably shorter than the other. I just want to double-check that it's good before I install it. Thanks!

    Need a few pointers on 5-speed swap/general manual tranny installation questions

    I've got all the guides, the TSRM, and most of my parts. I am just about ready to get the transmission in the car, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the proper clutch hard line. I ordered one from Toyota (and they forgot the lower hard line too) and it just doesn't seem to fit properly...

    Can a bad thermostat cause stalling/failure to restart?

    I am stalling when my car sits still after it is fully warmed up. I got pulled over by a cop for not having my inspection sticker (I've only had the car 8 days!) and it stalled while he was running my license. It started after it sat for 10 minutes, but ran like shit and I stalled again a half...
