    How much should I expect to pay for an R154 rebuild?

    You should be able to use the old snap rings, unless you have excessive clearance issues - i.e. popping out of gear. You need a few special tools, a press to disassemble the mainshaft, pullers for the gears on the back side of the intermediate plate (5th) which can be a bitch to put together in...

    '05 Toyota Tacoma Blues (Beware, lengthy spell/grammar checked rant inside)

    So, this saga ended with me selling the camper shell and floor mats and buying the car in my avatar. Best purchase I've ever made. The truck? Told them to come get it and filed bankruptcy because the lemon law didn't cover the failures in the various areas. If all the failures had been in...

    Reviving an old thread from years ago. Bought a rebuild kit from Driftmotion (great guy!) and did the rebuild myself.

    Check your connections, probably a loose one or one with bad contact points.

    Hideous Supra "Ferrari" MKIII for sale...

    That is by far the most hideous Supra I have ever seen in my life. I've seen prettier Supras sitting underneath smashed geo metros at the junkyard.

    Okay, now it looks like my Engine has rodknock, Someone please help me!

    Good luck finding one. There were only 4400 RWD Vert Celicas ever made. 400 in '84 and 4000 in '85. Someday mine will be getting a 3S-GTE swap with a J160 Tranny (Universal 6spd tranny that came in the Altezza RS200 Beams 3SGE, Honda S2000, Mazda RX-8, Nissan Silvia S15, etc.). Or I might...

    And Fords are only half american anyways. Their electrical systems are made by Yamaha and are shared with Mazda. It has some electrical problems and I've already got a lot of experience working on their wiring systems in Mazdas.

    Yeah. Tundra. With what money? I'm a poor college student. I got my F-150 for 1k... Can't beat that with a stick. Shes ugly as hell, but she runs great.

    Trying to find a write-up or something about ABS Removal on MKIII Supras...

    Wheel works and Les Schwab, but like I said it now has blown piston rings, the reason I want to do this is because it doesnt work as the transmission doesnt have the sensor and my wiring harness is for non-abs cars. I just wanna take it out.. Gonna have to figure this out on my own I guess...

    Trying to find a write-up or something about ABS Removal on MKIII Supras...

    It's not an ABS issue, its a bleeding issue there is air in the actuator. The transmisson does not have the speed sensor for the ABS so it hasnt worked since I went turbo/5spd. I just wanna fix the squish.
