    Auto trans replacement questions

    That is definitely more than Aisin Warner had in mind back in 1988. You really need to have it rebuilt if it is slipping. If you have IPT do it, it doesn't matter what you start with. It will be the strongest it can be. A few here have done it, and it stands up to the abuse. Shimming any...

    Auto trans replacement questions

    What year is your car? Do not shim the accumulator. Yes, I have read the long SF thread. So what. Make sure you are not low on fluid. It is better to have the valve body reworked.

    Cold start missfire 2000rpm with video

    Pull a couple of plugs when cold and look. It doesn't cost anything but time. And if they are clean, then you don't have to worry about fixing anything in that area.

    Cold start missfire 2000rpm with video

    If you don't have a correlation problem to actual ambient temps and interpreted temps with IAT and ECT, then something is leaking in the chamber over night. Like say, oil or fuel.

    Idle problems after SAFC, Lexus/560cc, and AFPR install. help needed

    No. If you need those things to tune, you should consider something other than the Lex meter.

    Idle problems after SAFC, Lexus/560cc, and AFPR install. help needed

    TCCS is written with deceleration fuel cut. SAFC should only be trimming the signal, and should not effect it. That assumes all is hooked up correctly.

    Who claimed that and where? And auto is because of ATF being automatic trans fluid. Get it yet?

    Killing The Myth: ATF vs PS Fluid

    And this should answer the question about Toyota telling you to put Dexron in the PS system. Because ATF is AUTOmatic transmission fluid. So, what is the myth?

    oil grade vs. bearing clearances

    If it is a 40 grade, it won't have a "W", unless you live on Venus. Suggestions? Don't build the engine with .024 clearance.

    Divorced Down Pipes

    The 1UZ replica housing is less money. The MAFT-Pro seems to be a more popular upgrade based on testimony here. It has a wide range of adjustability, much like the old HK$ alphabet tuning. No, it doesn't. But that is because the engine load on lower gears is lower.

    Did small burnout and now transmission won't shift into gear while engine is running.

    The input bearing makes a distinct sound. It only happens with load. This is not Supra specific, all manual trans...

    57trim Ct26 to 60-1 = Less torque, same, or more?

    93 octane rating is a long way from race grade gasoline.

    57trim Ct26 to 60-1 = Less torque, same, or more?

    It is mostly corn with much lower BTU content. Hence, its ability to avoid detonation. But it lacks the power found in C16.

    How long should a headgasket last if done right?

    I have had a few 7Ms that ran up to 200k at 58lb/ft and never failed. Including running hard for long stretches. As mentioned, don't drain your coolant unless you refill.

    chasing intermittent signal to ecu (code 11)

    It can. You just have to do the diagnostic first.

    Did small burnout and now transmission won't shift into gear while engine is running.

    If the release bearing doesn't release....What do you mean jiggling around? It needs to slide back and forth to engage and disengage, and it needs to rotate with engine speed.

    7mgte AEM Sequential injector wiring

    Are the injectors high current? Aka low impedance? As is low resistance, and subsequently higher current to open.

    This is new to me and i have been around for some time dual mass fly wheel for the 7m

    Use a beefed up A340E or convert to a domestic planetary and don't worry about it. But that is just my opinion.
