Well, I fired her up again, and let her run for about 10-15 minutes, to see which it was closer to. No smoke on initial start up, now. About 20 seconds of idling, smoke begins to appear. Less than you'd see on a cold morning. I let it idle for a few more minutes, no change in amount of smoke...

Yep, car has white smoke at start up. But, let's backtrack for a second. Got the car about a year ago. Transmission was shot, so I wasn't really driving it around. On start up, it was pretty much an explosion of white smoke out the back, that would mostly go away after a few minutes. Still...

Stupid question: If the right speed sensor isn't installed, what happens? Also, what's a reasonable rate for a tranny install? Just asked my local mechanic, and his quote was $800, for 6 hours labor, and new seals. I've pulled trannies before....didn't seem like a 6 hour adventure.

Good to know. Is there an easy way to identify if it came from a non-abs (or abs, either way) car? Mine does have ABS, just don't know about the donor. Thanks!

Just a real short n simple question. Have a 1989 NA, with a shot tranny. Will a 1988 turbo transmission swap directly in? Both transmissions are automatics. As far as I know, that makes them both A340Es; didn't know if there'd be any wiring issues. (Mechanic said he didn't think it would...

I know I'm biased, seeing as I was going to put them on my car.....but I like how they turned out. I might have gotten them powdercoated white to match the car...but the silver looks pretty good. Not often you see a set of Work Equip Voggards on a MKIII. Or at all. To each their own, of...

Excellent...so next stupid question, what does the resistor pack do? Would the lack of it be hurting my car's performance? I have a separate post going about my car being incredibly sluggish.

Not sure I really understand the question of my expectations for how it should shift. When in Drive, it doesn't shift at all. When I go through the gears manually, I can hear the car change gears, but there's practically no difference in speed, just rpm. Flooring it through my neighborhood, for...

Recently, I took my car into Toyota, because it was smoking, and didn't want to go into gear at all (1989 Auto, non turbo). Also, seems like a high idle at 1200rpms. The smoking was fixed, and the report back on the tranny was that it was fine, but the car's ecu is bad. So, I got a "new"...

This is going to be one of those questions where I should kick myself for not figuring it out, but lieu of that..... Can someone tell me what goes in this spot in my engine bay?: I've got harnesses leading to it, holes for bolts, but nothing there. When I had the car serviced at Toyota...

My first one was a 1989 N/A, auto. My current two, are a 5 speed turbo, and another 1989 N/A auto, that I bought as a tribute to the first one. No mods to the automatic. No plans to swap to manual. Current best time is 10 ft, in just under 1 month. Transmission is currently unhappy, so I've...

I'm military as well...just converted from DSMs, back to Supras....yes...back to them...first started driving a MkIII almost 6 years ago....been away too long, haha. Figured I'd say hello, since there's an introduction thread...

Geospatial Intelligence Analyst, for the US Marine Corps. In Fallujah right now. Yay. :icon_bigg

Stock psi for DSMs (I own one...) is 15 psi...but with stock bov, they leak anything over about 11. If he really is running 8 psi, he's leaking boost pretty bad, and that might have something to do with him losing. When my T25 was about to explode, it had tons of shaftplay, clipping the inside...
