Jay, you really really need a garage. At the minimum a concrete pad.

Trust those who have done it before, it is a royal PITA to do on the ground like I did.

Mo, it's impossible to install the tranny with the PP bolted in. You have to put the PP and clutch disc on the input shaft and then bolt the tranny up. Once the tranny is bolted in you can rotate the crank and slowly tighten down each of the 6 bolts 1 at a time until you get them all done (you...

Happy late B-Day Mike. I would have wished you a happy B-day yesterday, but I was putting in my tranny. I hope you had a very, very happy B-day (victory burnout? Fun times with Theresa?)

Ok, here's the pics as promised.

Scubajtw, this is the best head-on shot I have of the lights lit up since at night time the camera makes it look wierd.

I finally got the clutch installed fully. I still need to bleed the clutch and adjust the clutch pedal. I took it for a 2 mile gentle test drive and it fealt very soft until almost the very top, in which it fully engaged (gonna take some getting used to with the 6-puck). I'm exhausted, I'll...

Thank you. As I told Duane last night, I still have another $700-1000 to spend before I am fully happy with my flushmounts. I have a lot more work to do to make them ultra clean. The pictures you see is all I have, I think. I'll check tomorrow.

I bolted the PP and disc to the motor before putting the transmission into place. This makes it impossible to put the tranny in due to clearance issues. You have to put the PP and disc on the transmission input shaft and then bolt the transmission into place. Once you have done this, you can...

Umm, yes

Mike, I'll post up my tips and tricks. Jay told me to put the pressure plate and other clutch part (it's been a long day, I'm cold and tired. It's the large piece that's usually painted, bright blue in my case, with the fingers and the center hub that goes in the middle) inside the...

I didn't steal it, it was forwarded to my friend who forwarded it to me and now I am forwarding it to the forums.

Thank you Jay, I really appreciate it. We've been going crazy and never would have thought of that. Adam

How in the hell do you get the R154 in place? Besides jacking the front of the engine up what other tricks is there to installing the tranny? Call or text me if you know how. I am at my wits end (Jayhall too). Adam

Unfortunately I didn't write it, my friend got it last night in a text.

For some time many of us have wondered who is Jack Shit? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, You dont know Jack Shit? Well, thanks to my efforts you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Shit is the only son of Awe Shit who married O Shit, the owners of Knee Deep N Shit Inc. In...

Dude, I'd switch over to the R154 and save yourself the hassle. The W58 isn't designed for the abuse that a turbo motor can deal out. Besides, the R154 has a much, much greater selection of clutches. As for paying under $200 for a clutch, the only thing you can get for that price is OEM. A...

If you do a good metal flake the result is very nice. But if you do what you propose, I will be forced to shun you and your Supra until it is repainted and you have made other amends. My paint has a ton of metal flake and looks pretty decent, and my paint job was a semi-half-assed job. But...

Don't be surprised if that clutch kit fails on you after a short period of time. I have yet to hear anything good about the F1 clutches. Their cheap for a reason.

I've had my ACT Stage 2 kit for over 2 years and it held great. Spending under $400 on a clutch that will hold around $400 isn't really possible unless you have the hookup. Don't by some cheap clutch kit like F1, they will slip on you like they have with everyone else. I'm putting in my SPEC...
