    R154 Spins too tough, no spin with case.

    First of all, can we have a drivetrain experts forum? Anyways, I've rebuilt several r154's, no problems whatsoever. So I bring this next one in, tear it apart. Syncros are trash, a gear has chip, yadda yadda yadda. I start assembling with new bearing and sycros, 1st through 4th go...

    FML- Ver. Supramania

    We are doing this on Houston-Imports, thought maybe it'd be fun here too. I'll start it off. Today, I was pulling the motor from a neon. I turned a nut holding the positive cable to the starter for nearly 10 minutes, eventually to find when I had originally threaded it on, I had stripped it...

    The tsrm calls for 3 differerent sst's to rebuild the r154. Are these just basic tools I can buy from the store? I called toyota and they said they are for tech use only and wouldn't give me any info on them. I'd really like to start on this build but I need the tools apparantly.

    Lifters dropped from the head, what to do?

    So I get my head back from the machine shop today. Shaved .22 off, so I ordered my 2mm headgasket. Took the head out of the car and set it on the trunk deck. Still in the bag and everything. Friend comes by to check it out. I'm at the front of the car getting stuff together and I hear...

    No spark, monitor is reading out strangely.

    7mgte, 87 model supra. The other day we turned it on, let it warm, then pulled the throttle, let it boost up. Blew off, and after it came down on the revs, it died. Wouldn't start again. Fuel pump wasn't coming on anymore. Wired the pump to a switch, still no start. So we took out a...
