I have the manual trans cable I was wondering about the speedo driven gear which is what the cable connects to on the tranny in the w58. Was wondering how likely my w58 came out of a car without 4.30lsd. Which I think would mean a different speedo driven gear.

My speedo is abuot 8-9mph off reading too fast through entire range. 88 n/a is auto to manual swap by prev owner. 4.30 lsd W58. Could the W58 have come from a car with a different speedo gear than the supra, or one with a different GR in the rear. I have a new stock speedo gear ready to put...

So my 88 n/a is a auto to manual swap by a previous owner. I switched the instrument cluster out to one that was from a manual trans. Took me a while to find a good one, found a great one installed it everything works. But LOL the cluster I put in is not from a TEMS car. I was trying so hard to...

thanks for the response. Using my own multimeter. Battery after sitting 24hrs 11.2v wont start does click though. Jumped it, 14.1v running on its own. Drove for 15min shut off, does start back up. 12.1v with engine off. Will let it sit a while and check it again. Checked all connections...

My 88 n/a doesnt seem to have enough juice to engage the starter. I can jump start it with my jeep. I had the guy at the auto parts store run some test on the car while sitting in the parking lot. It said everything bat, alt, start was ok. IMO the alternator may not be charging enough. Or the...

My 88 7mge oil pan gasket seeps and is in general bad shape. The engine runs excellent and only leaks oil around the pan. Considering the pain in the arse it appears to be to remove the oil pan, if I do it, what elso should I do while its off. Besides stopping an oil leak other benefits to...

pinging when the throttle is slightly opened under light acceleration around 2200rpm after engine is operating temp. Its coming from top end. This just started after I adjusted the tps to clear a code 51 that I inherited when I bought the car. After I cleard the code I set base timing. A couple...

you cant set timing with a code 51. check out the thread below. I had a high idle. Once I followed the steps in the thread below my idle was fixed and I was able to set the timing properly. Turns out my tps needed to be adjusted. check it out...

stock for sure.

the difference between a w58 and r154. The PO did an auto to manual swap and left a few things undone and I want to know what I have so I get the right stuff. Mostly the speed sensor on the top of the tranny. The plug is just hangin out with nothng around to plug into it. I have a feeling the...

Its called the clutch start switch. Its up under the dash at the top of the pedal. you can see it here. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=CL&P=4

Not sure what it was, but after loosening the tensioner and fiddling with the belt a bit retorqued the tensioner down and its stayin on track now but he belt is a little frayed on the outside edge where it was rubbin againts the bottom cover. The belt is pickin up some oil from down below also...

hanging slightly off the edge of the cam pulleys and running that way. Not sure how long its been that way. Do they start to slide forward when they get worn (loose)? tensioner problem?

First, big thanks to JSeamans and his guide. It is excellent and I would not have atempted with out his great article as I am new to the 7M. I did manage to do it by myself though and it was so succesful I thought I should share. This may have been covered before but couldnt find anything...

lol thanks for pointing out the typo. I would love to hear what I am supposed to be listening for, although if its that distinct I have the feeling mine is bad.

What kind of clicking should you here from the ISC after you shut the engine off? Is it very distinct, multiple clicks, or just one click? I am trying to diagnose an iratic high idle ( 1000-1200rpm) after the engine is warmed up. The TSRM says to check the ISC, I here no click whatsoever. I...

thanks for the replies, I will double check them while I wait on a tool to come in. I thought is was odd also, but about half of the exhaust side I couldnt even get a .1 mm guage through and had to go smaller.

Ok...just checked valve clearances on my 88 n/a tonight. They were almost all out quite a bit. The car runs very well, but the top end was noisy and ticking quite a bit. All but a couple on the intake side had at least .5mm too much clearance. Almost all the exhaust were at least .5 too...

Mine was that way when I bought my car. The top plastic piece was broke off and the prev owner had the bottom one going to the intake and nothing connected to the canister. I put another bvsv and routed the hoses up correctly. I didnt notice any difference in anything as far as how the car...

The next week or so I'm going to have valve/cam covers off to check clearance/adjust to hopefully get rid of some ticking and noisy top end. Anything else I should do while I have that stuff off based on your experiences? 88 n/a 200k new HG about 20-30k ago.
