Oh definitely did! I got the mc shift fork, thrust washer, and retainer. I didn't measure the snap rings though, I tore everything down and reassembled. If I have any issues down the road I'll just have to open it up again. It was my first transmission rebuild but so far it shifts like butter...

Assembled the r154. Seems to shift fine on the bench, but it's the first transmission I've rebuilt. We'll see how it goes Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Did a little damage to the r154 the other day. Thrust washer exploded Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Had a friend take a few pictures next to a pretty cool partial submarine in town. Put some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 275/40 tires on the back. They sure perform a lot better than the other coopers Also broke the transmission... Parts on the way! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

Not even sure where I last left off better but it fit hit the Dyno. Unfortunately no graph, I haven't asked him for it hey but it made 549/525 at 22psi 15 degrees timing. Methanol injection is also hooked up. Running a 1000cc before the tb and 500cc pre intercooler I'll let you pictures...

Good question, I think the dash has one slight crack in the defrost vent barely noticeable. I condition both of them with leather conditioner as well at the same time Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

It's out of a 2wd 84 Toyota pickup. I think any second gen will work. Brakes feel dang close to original too Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

If you're still looking for info on the harness let me know, I know it's a little late though. I built my own harness using the ecumaster emu Pm is best Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

The 100 just down the street in Kennewick is 8.90 a gallon, 110 down in hermiston Oregon is the same price Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

I feel like the log manifold will be more Stout and less prone to cracking than the thin tube manifold I was running prior Cleaned and conditioned the leather interior today. I also put some of the conditioner on the vinyl dash/door panels. I wonder if it will keep them from cracking a little...
