R154 throwout bearing and snap ring order help

[TweeT91109]

Ok guys I'm trying to figure out the order the snap rings, wave rings, washers, everything that goes on the throwout bearing hub assembly. I have seen a bunch of pictures on a lot of different forums bit nothing explains what order all those rings, and washers go in on the throwout bearing. I have seen the cygnus diagram but its just a blown up picture and doesn't explain the order very well. Does anyone have a better thread showing how they all go together and in what order they go together. Also I need to know how it gets mounted on the pressure plate and what goes on what side. Thanks in advance guys. TweeT.

Bump, no one knows on this one huh? And most of us drive Supra's on this site....this could be bad.

I know it, but it's hard to explain :rofl:

I knew I should have taken pics last time I did it, but I was rushed a bit...

Thats a bummer....This is the only thing holding me back from putting the trans back on and the motor in.

This shows it a bit more clearly.

31264A is the cone washer, the raised center (put it flat on a table and you'll see what I mean) should face 31264. The other way around won't preload the assembly and keep it tight. Then it goes through the pressure plate and through the throwout bearing and then held by 31231B.

Ok that chart is a lot better in detail, also my friend made me this video, but im sure he wont mind me sharing and the post count.

He left out one of the washers and he's doing it the hard way...

I think that picture is a lot more clear as to what order things go in. I just did the clutch in my car, and used the TSRM for what order to assemble things in.

Put the thrust cone and plate washer on the hub, then the throwout bearing, install with snapring. put it through the pressure plate, then the large plate washer, wave washer, and snap ring. Make sure that the snap rings are good and tight, it's a big mess if either one lets go.

So i ended up using my friends partially assembled pressure plate and throw-out hub to get the order last time. Well I broke the throw out bearing....so all the snap rings fell off. So pulled the trans off yesterday. Got a new throw out bearing today, and i'm still not getting the order through the Cygnus pictures....
