i have an original C's shifter (circa 1998) in my r154, the nylon seat bushing has completely dried and cracked to dust. does anyone know where to possibly find a replacement? i tried using an oem toyota one for now, but it doesnt fit right and is way to tight in there. any ideas?

summary... owned my sup for 14 years. i know the tell tale signs of popped head gasket.:icon_evil just took my supra out of storage this summer after its been parked for almost 8 years, only driven occasionally in those 8 years (like 40 miles a summer) , did a auto to 5 speed swap, clutch...

CZA: what do you keep breaking inside the 154's? i am in the process of repairing a shattered oem thrust washer that i upgraded to the marlin piece. just wondering what else is prone to going out on these, besides shift fork.. right now im at 500hp and plan on going up to 600+

This stupid cap was fresh in my mind because i just had my exhaust mani off redoing my turbo setup and noticed my rubber cap was totally dried out from the heat on that side and i replaced mine before it let loose like yours did.

check the rubber cap on the metal coolant lines that run along the passanger side of the engine block.

my bet is the timing is off.........

Well we had some time to dig a little deeper today and found the Broken Thrust washer. ordered the Marlin upgrade Today. Finish taking everything apart in the next few days of free time and figure out what else needs to be replaced while it's apart. Shouldn't be to bad of a fix so far..........

yeah, welcome back is right. when it rains it pours. lol. its like the more i fix, the more other things break. just cant win. I can get pics tomorrow. from initial inspection of the gears, there doesnt appear to be any major issues.

This trans breaking has been such a discouragement. I've owned this supra since 96' and i've just taken it out of storage this summer where its been stored for the last 7 years. In the past few months I've converted it to a 5speed, completely redone the fuel system, new rear suspension, new...

I'm hoping its just the thrust washer. wont know until my "trans guy" has the time to finish tearing it apart for me. but in the meantime i am looking for some good reading material on what other things can be done to help this trans out while i have it torn apart. are there any more mods...

so i just got done converting my auto to a manual this summer with a used r154. everything was working fine until yesterday when it started popping out of 1st as soon as you let the clutch out. 2nd gear works fine. from what ive started researching the r154 is notorious for the thrust washer and...

The only pic I have access to on this computer at the moment.

Found this forum on the "other" supra forums and I have found some really great info on here along with some awesome mk3 builds. As for myself, I bought my 88' mk3 turbo back in 96' when it had a Fcon,FCD,EVC,upgraded ct-26, spearco, 3" d-pipe and exhaust, custom 3300 stall converter and got...
