I wasnt trying to be an ass either really, I was just severely frustrated by how long the job was taking and struggled with a couple of troublesome issues. I still stand by my assesment that it could NOT be done in less than a hour. I could believe a couple guys taking 4-5 hours to do it (Im...

you are welcome, sorry it took so long. Like I said I guarranty my work so let me know if there are any unresolved issues. DAMN, Im glad that's done too. Now I can get on with my own transmission. :naughty: is the idle problem gone?

seriously? no offence to the OP but I detest burgundy/burgundy supras. At least it looks to be in good shape. I hope it serves you well.

Its two threads laced like you would a shoe.

This is gonna sound wierd but there is another option that can be done on the cheap and still look almost like factory. I did this for my Cherokee and I loved how it felt. If you can find a tan version of the genuine leather covers that you can buy at walmart they can be adapted and sewn on in...

Yes for tight places the big grinder is a bit of an overkill and a little hard to wield. There are 2" versions of the stripping pads that have a standard adapter to fit a drill or angle grinder. I used my air die grinder and the little pads to do more of the intricate work. Another useful tool...

The polishing looks good my friend ;) I hope some of my suggestions helped make that easier. Im a big fan of shiney parts in the engine bay. :love:

I've seen worse wrecks come back from the dead but to put that much money and effort into a mk3 is rediculous. Looks like nothing more than an organ donor to me.

yeah all the talk of get a honda or get a v8 is pointless. Let the man get what he wants for the reason he wants. I think his reasoning sounds pretty good actually. Its gonna be his DD for christ sake. He doesnt need power, and is going to have to drive it everyday so who can blame him for not...

Nice Trade off! I approve completely. Too bad its the ST, but it should get very good gas mileage. and that Curren front end is hot!

OK, so I found a guy in town with a 5spd parts car...called him on Weds. and his phone was disconnected...have to wait till tomorrow until I see him again. Maybe sunday or early next week can actually get going on the swap. And today it hit me...I came up with an appropriate name for my car...

Statistically speaking kids CANT drive, what makes you different? Teen driver crashes are the leading cause of death for our nation’s youth. The overwhelming majority of these crashes are caused by inexperience or distractions, not "thrill-seeking" or deliberate risk-taking. (Source: Accident...

Neither of these statments disprove the fact that he is still full of crap for saying hes pulled and replaced a 5spd in under an hour and that it was a 10lb transmission. I stand by my statement that he is full of it. Also in my defence it is only my second FWD trans and my first DSM...

You sir are completely full of crap.

I will never again complain about the top starter bolt on a 5M/7M. I can do a clutch in a rear wheel drive in about 3 or 4 hours. Actually before I started the axles were my biggest worry and I had those out in no time. The big problem with the trans on the 2.0t on the eclipse was the rear...

So I spent all day today trying to remove the transaxle from SavannahAshleys eclipse turbo. Well ok to be fair I spent most of the day removing other stuff so I COULD remove the tranaxle, and only about an hour on the tranaxle itself. It gave me fits in the end but I have to also admit Im not...

yeah either that or its crying out in pain begging for a more experienced driver...or to be put out of its misery.:sarcasm:

for $5 they used to. I believe that is a thing of the past now though.

Qft

Supra Haiku repost one again ugh his fire suit is too big but cool video
