Do'h. That first part was just a mistake. I read this, but plainly just forgot in the face of seeing 10w-30 next to 10w-40. Excuses blah blah. I kept reading about this misconception in the oil 101 and have to conciously keep telling my self that it thins out as temps rise. Its hard to grab a...

Ah I see. Well I was confused on how he was trying to validate his points. He never really explained, why he said what he said. He was on the mark about his claim, but his reasoning was very murky. As if, somone just told him the right thing and he is just pulling things out to fit it around...

Hello, I have said things regarding engine oil on a lexus forum not too long ago, but am worried that what I said was a misinterpretation on what I have read here and on the oil 101 basics link. Here is the link to the thread...

Um... it's the pressure plate bolts backing out. Not fly wheel. Either way, I read the thread you linked. It is possible that the threads are just fubar. Maybe crossthreaded. If so, then I'll have to re tap and die them... Or get a 1jz flywheel..... I got it towed to a tranny shop. I'll pick...

Well, I put the clutch together via TSRM... So no... In hindsite it would probably helped. But still. The bolts were sheared! Quite a bit of torque on the 2jzgte....

No offense, but please make your own thread. Here is an update! Well I was driving the car to see if it is still working. I drove a little aggressively because I wanted to reenact what I was doing to see if it did fix it. Sure enough after one of the pulls BAM.... can't shift again... Pedal...

Bench bleed the master cyl? I've never heard of doin this with the clutch master cyl. Maybe the brake master cyl. Well I will try seeing if the hose is to blame

Update.. I re bled the system. Tried again... No Dice. So I tried a little experiment. I used a 1/4 inch drive socket and stuck it at the end of the slave cyl rod. This extended the stroke of the cyl a few millimeters. I CAN SHIFT AGAIN... Of course this is just a temporary fix until my...

Is it visible to see it expand? How would you check this hose?

Thank you for your offer, but I am not sure who you are. I hope I do not offend you in saying that I am cautious about whom I invite to my house. I'm sorry, but I simply don't know you well enough. *update* changed both slave and master cyl. I can MASH it into gear now, but the pedal is still...

I have a jdm r154 from a 1jz supra with an extended shift LINKAGE. Also, it was working properly one second then the next it locked up. More detailed info in my thread at the 7mgte technical section.

checked under there again. The pressure plate seems secure. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Oh, I won't be sticking my fingers on any rotating pressure plates thanks very much :). Ok, I'll go ahead and replace the master and the slave and the lines, but other than that. what else could affect the transmission goin into gear so abruptly!? Any one have inputs or experiences in...

Yep. Now if I can only figure out why I can't go into gear anymore~! :(

Yea, I was under the car inspecting it, but I couldn't give it that thorough of an inspection because I didn't have any tools and help at the time. I took off the slave and I tried moving the fork. If the hub was broken it would be easy to move back and forth. I looked at the spring fingers...

No, it comes up. It has lost a noticable amount of pressure compared to before the problem.

Yes, it was sudden. First it was working, then it decided not to.

Yes I can.

I'll check tomorrow. But I'm still figuring out if these symptoms are hydraulic or mechanical in nature. Mechanical as in, the clutch assembly itself.

Hello, I'm new to these boards and I am hoping that the community can help me or point me in the right direction. I was driving one day and took the jz up to 5k in third gear to pass someone. I start to shift to 4th then suddenly I hear it grind really hard. I take it into neutral and try...
