Looking to change auto to manual.

[kabanimk3supra]

if it has removable inspection plates on both sides, it is a turbo. If not, it's non turbo.

 

[Count Knobula]

no plates. off I go tomorrow with my receipt. *crosses fingers*

 

[supraguy@aol]

Yeah, you got jacked. Get your money back, man.
Which yard did you deal with? If they don't have the right tranny, try Jarco inc. in Canton. They import ALOT of 7m stuff.

 

[Count Knobula]

Looks like they pulled the wrong tranny. I got the turbo one.

Bad news it's missing the actual shifter and the clutch fork. Could be worse. Anyone know if I can get those at parts stores?

GETTING CLOSER TO THE SWAP!

I have:
R154 + Bellhousing
Clutch kit
Flywheel
Clutch fork
Clutch pedal
Master and slave cylinders
Shifter

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

I've seen "wing brackets" mentioned, what are they how do I get them or do I have them already on my auto perhaps?

One of the wing brackets is different on the R154. I just completed my swap this weekend and it's still fresh in my mind. I'd recommend you buy the braided clutch line from driftmotion, it saved me a lot of time and headache.

The N/A flywheel is different. Check the TSRM, it's got rivets in different spots when compared to the turbo flywheel. I should know, I accidentally got one from a member on this board when he shipped the wrong one.

The R154 is a factory piece and fits up to the motor exactly the same. Make sure you do NOT put the shims that are behind the automatic flywheel back on! Carl on Supraforums did this and had to remove it all just because he left those pieces in.

It's really a rather easy swap. There's no cutting or fabricating needed, everything looks factory when you're finished, too. Just check the TSRM section on removing and installing the transmission before you do anything. Read the whole thing front to back.

"braided clutch line from driftmotion"

What is this?

 

[NewWestSupras]

It's pretty self-explanatory, bro. Damn near impossible to weave the hard lines thru when the motor's in...

[billspreston01]

Here's a fairly complete list:

master cylinder
slave clyinder
master to slave clutch line (driftmotion 1 piece stainless braded line)
transmission
driveshaft
engine-tranny wing bracket (one side is different, can't remember which)
clutch pedal assembly
brake pedal
flywheel with bolts
clutch disk and pressure plate with bolts
throw out bearing and associated washers
shifter w/good bushings (and a shift knob)
shifter boot
minor wiring (more wiring if you want a neutral safety switch)
I think the auto speedo cable will work
and some tranny fluid

If I'm talking the same thing here I have the cylinder lines from the donor car already.

Where can I get the wing bracket I need?

 

[OneJArpus]

Auto ecu will work you have to do some wiring to get it to start.


i have the TQ bearing & hub assembly, fork, and flywheel for sale.

The wing bracket...from a junkyard or somebody on here

Wing bracket: (there's one just like it on the other side, don't know which one is wrong)

 

[Count Knobula]

Any chance of a picture or something more descriptive than just a name?

 

[OneJArpus]

i will see if i have a spare bracket

 

[Count Knobula]

i will see if i have a spare bracket

That would be really helpful. I don't want to buy the wrong thing. And thanks billspreston01, the pic wouldn't show for me at work but now I see it.

Can anyone help my with getting the exact correct bracket?

 

[Count Knobula]

Bump. Sorry. I want to put an ad in the supra parts wanted section but I'd like to be able to make it specific enough. Is that picture of exactly what I need?

 

[Count Knobula]

Meh I'm just gonna buy both. You never know.

 

[billspreston01]

I'm not sure which side it is. Just buy the pair and you'll be able to figure it out.
There's 2 bolt holes in the bracket where you bolt it to the block. The thickness of the bracket where those holes are is the difference.

 

[Cycoclown]

hmm usefull im doing an auto to manual conversion with a w58...

 

[Count Knobula]

Got the wing brackets coming. Anybody know of ANYTHING else I need?
