i was leaning more to them being completely destroyed, not just gears, but i stand corrected

I WOULDNT TRUST A REBUILT TRANNY.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

so the R154 will bolt onto the 2j correct?

I believe it will with no problem as long as you have the 1JZ bellhousing

 

[SupraMario]

SWEET ok so i know i can get me a 2jgte for like ~2000 give or take couple hundred.
1jz bellhousing is going to run me how much u all think?
and the r154 i can get for pretty cheap.

 

[Jeff Lange]

You're going to need the 1JZ bellhousing and flywheel. Not sure on the price.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

I think I've seen it for ~ $50 or so

BS!

You can get a flywheel from $300-$500 generally, and the bellhousing costs about the same.
..after that, you WILL need a clutch, because the stock R154 clutch will not hold a 2JZ's power for long. Hell, a TRD clutch for the R154 would probably slip quickly on a stock 2JZ, and if you can afford the 2JZ swap, it doesn't cost much more for BPU [another 100hp].

Dead: If you have a 1JZ or a 2JZ the Tremec Kits are available off the shelf.

I had to do the custom adaptor as no one makes one for the 7M!

 

[SupraMario]

so IJ would u suggest that i bought a Tremec kit and see if it fit into the MKIII?
i mean it might be cheaper and easier.

 

[IJ.]

If you're using a 1 or 2JZ it's pretty well a bolt in and the boxes are used behind many high HP cars and seem to be damn strong!
(Just watched an episode of Rides where they put one behind a blown aluminium 427 Ford V8)

Guess it comes down to what your wallet can stand before it explodes in flames!

There are 2 suppliers here that offer kits not sure in the US though.

 

[SupraMario]

well i'm making $12 an hour for this summer 40 hours a week + time 1/2 for over time. so ill rake in like 6500 without tax taken out. the way i see it ill have the cash and time for this swap im going to give myself a month for the parts build up and 2 for the swap. i've decided to also keep my NA an Na and buy an old 90 for like $200-300 cash plenty of them around here in White Bluff that people dont care for and they leave them in the garage. so just as long as it doesnt have bad dmg and minimal rust ill prolly get it, dont care for the paint till i have the swap done.
well back to work.

The Getrag six speed is noticably shorter in first and second to make up for the lack of low end torque in the JZ series. You don't need it. Want a taller o/d, get a Tremec. I am sure after 2 pages this has been covered.

 

[Nick M]

whats that? getrag, im guessing thats a saying huh?
lol

[Andre]

BTW i have an 1.5 JZ swap in my car

With the 6 speed getrag

 

[Squid699]

holy 2 year old thread ressurrection batman!

i still dont think a getrag is worth it. the final drives in the mkiii are too fast - you'd have to shift too much.

 

[Andre]

You do not have to shift to fast iff you have the 3.2 final drive

there is also an 3.4 finals drive for the Mk3

Mk4 has also 3.2 final drive

BTW 3.73 is also no plroblem to drive with an getrag

 

[Nick M]

Of course not, you have a 1JZ based engine. I am sorry Joe, I can't help it, these things just come to me the instant I read them. :dunno: :biglaugh:
