    Thats an under statement!!! My muscles end up spazing and locking up on me when I bend in strange positions trying to get under there!

    Is this normal shifter operation?(Silly Vid)

    Odds are toyota doesn't have it....I had to make my own out of brass and then press it in with an arbor.....if that bushing is the same as a w58 I maybe able to make you one but I need someone to confirm that r154 and w58 have the exact same shifter setup.

    gte block with ge parts.

    I only ask this question because it confuses me as to why people use it.....and I get paid for what I do which is obvious you have very limited experience with....mechanics fix cars...machinists MAKE motors, and majority of everything else on a car...when my oil needs changed and I'm too lazey...

    Block machining question and long story

    wow that really blows!!! I asked my local engine builder if he would mind if I sat in and watched his work...he had no problems with it and he even offered me a job there but I like my current job....he also took the time to dig up pics of the 7mgte he did! And you shouldnt feel machine marks...

    im pretty sure you missed it...you can get good mics for a reasonable price....and mics are much better and ALOT more precise then plastiguage! Mock the spelling all you like but I'm still waiting for you to prove plastiguage is the best option....and I'm going to have to say one would be...

    Need some creative Ideas.

    I'd probably do something along the lines of internal combustion motors and how it all works...with diagrams and I know on youtube you can find a video where the put a small camera inside a cylinder of a running engine and you could see intake, compression, ignition, and evacuation take place.....

    gte block with ge parts.

    then what...peel it off and distort the plastiguage?????? You go ahead and do that...I'll stick with percision tools.... And not to be harsh or anything but didn't you just cook your crank bearings in about 3000 miles???? That kinda throws your engine building skills out the window...

    I'm a machinist......its what I do for a liveing....I don't have my own personal machines no....but machinist all the same...and machining motors is no different then any other machining same principals apply to both!....plastiguage is fubar in comparison to percision mics...infact I went to my...

    Is this normal shifter operation?(Silly Vid)

    if you send me your email I can send a pic of the bushing I'm talking about but I can't post pics with this phone.... So that small white end cap bushing on the shifter actually slips into another bushing inside the trans and its made from cheap plastic and tin metal...it = fail and untill...

    Is this normal shifter operation?(Silly Vid)

    look harder for the link LOL....so you did screw that small plate back on to the top of the trans right...should be 4 small bolts....and you put a new plastic bushing on the very bottom ball on the shifter.....did you check the yoke that the shifter slips into cause that also takes a bushing...

    Is this normal shifter operation?(Silly Vid)

    I can't see the video unless you give a direct link being that I'm on an iPhone....but is it loose side to side front and back or is it loose up and down like if you pull on the stick upward?

    gte block with ge parts.

    ouch....I'm picking up some tension..didn't mean to offend! But percision measurement tools are the way to go when "building" a motor which was my point to begin with....I'm not going to machine tolerences bases on what some playdough tells me I should....I'm going to machine based on what my...

    gte block with ge parts.

    Yeah I suppose its fine for a quick double check but I see people really baseing their clearance from this shit and machining the motors based on the plastiguage readings and that makes me sad. I know myself personaly I would be mic'ing everything....but I'm a machinist so I suppose I'm just...
