OK so I got my 1jz supra today......

[Pharnhyte]

And it runs pretty good, besides the fact that it runs really rich, it has a stinger EMS that i will get tuned.

My biggest issue though is the fact that you can't really stick it into third or fourth gear very easy, this stems from the fact that the shop who was supposed to go over the whole car, and check for anything failed to notice a bolt on the transmission was sticking out, and all of the transmission fluid leaked out, and it was dyno tuned with no transmission fluid.

I can get it into 3rd/4th if I really try hard but its tricky, so I shift 1-2-5.

My question is; do i buy the rebuild kit; or could the gears be messed up or what?

If I get another used tranny since I already have the 1jz R154, would a 7mgte one not work? I know the bell housings are diff... I am a car guy not a transmission guy sorry


Thanks
Steve

You can try another transmission just swap the bellhousings. I know of one that is mint, doesn't grind and always goes into gear. PM me for more info.

hey whats up man i reccomend getting a low mileage used tranny r154 which comes on all 5spd turboed cars. its the same. just have to reuse your 1jz bellhousing and 7mgte clutches are the same too. but flywheels are different.

If i purchased this 4.3 LSD would it fit directly into my 4.3 non LSD car or do I need the LSD axles sub frame or any of that other stuff? I want to do everything at once
