swapping 6spd c160

[chik0]

FINALLY DRIVING MY BABY ON THE STREETS AGAIN.all done, just need to modify the top tranny mount, going to take it to my boy andre at RAW(the dude who has the ae86 s2k motor) so that they can fabricate me a custom mount. i was out of gas so i took a drive to the gas station to fill her up and walmart to pick up some oil, and man i loved it, of course it sucks to drive a 20v for 800+miles and not be able to stomp on the pedal due to breaking in the new clutch, but still it is such a difference compared ot my old tranny. the shifts are so much cripsier, i can downshift to third and shift into third without hearing any grind whatsoever.I LOVE IT.i might even drive to orlando for the hell of it just to reach 800miles quicker.

whats up with your mount?

[chik0]

the 6spd mount if much different then the regular mount, im going to get it custom fit so i can put the rubber in between, or probably find a different mount that'll fit.i dont want to go back to using the 5spd mount, it'll break off

[chik0]

also another thing, does any1 know what could be causing my reverse seem to grind when i try getting into it.it feels like something isnt right but i know its not the tranny

[onefastae101]

ohhh alright alright, well does ONLY REVERSE grind? or all gears? did you bleed ur clutch? shift cables tied down well?

[chik0]

only reverse, no havnt bled clutch and yes shift cables are tied down.i have to use two hands to put it into reverse as well, the only thing that comes to my mind, is that pilot bearing i added which it had none when i took the tranny off.

Why'd you do that? I would pull everything and remove that pilot bearing even if isn't causing that problem.

[chik0]

im straiiiiight.that tranny is not coming off till the next time i feel like changing the clutch

[pinoyrollarida]

lol buy me some beer ill do it lmfao

[SlowRolla]

Good luck with your input shaft...you'll be having to pull that trans well before you're wanting to.

[onefastae101]

you put a pilot bearing in there? yea man that was a bad idea

[chik0]

yea the one that came with the 4age clutch kit fit in there perefctly

[chik0]

did the oil change on the baby



i was trying to see which one would be easier to do in fabricating the mount to fit into the us ae101, and definately the 5spd is much easier, just takes alot of cutting and a little bit of welding.what i came up with was from this site, " www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174725 " buuuut that for an ae92, on the ae101 is pretty much the same thing EXCEPT it's a little further outward, what i came up with is to weld another piece on so that i can be able to have 3 bolts holding down the half part of the mount that goes connected to the tranny, since the last time there was only two and it kept coming right off and always causing trouble.heres a couple pics, right now im finished with cutting certain edges and stuff about to go pay my buddy with the ae86 s2k motor a visit at his shop at raw performance to get the piecs welded.

[chik0]

well was a t the shop for a while talking b.s. with some other dudes that work with him, but either way well wait till monday to get it done. Also was kind of sad since dude who is buying the ae86 from him came down from new york and was hanging out there, were going to take the car one last time to us27 tonight, the ae86 drives off tomorow to new york and might be in north carolina soon since he'll be moving over there.anyway here go some more pics

[chik0]

im up at 80 miles on the new clutch.a good 700 more to go

[chik0]

120miles on the clutch

[trife96]

damn, I was also confused about the pilot bearing that came with my kit, and wasn't planning on putting it in since one didn't come out. Also, thanks for sharing the pics on that bracket. I've been wondering how different they were. Seemed like an easy fix.

[chik0]

yea but the issue with my bracket, was that a pice broke off, i had welded it back on but it doesnt sit flush, thats why it kept yanking it ou, so pretty much my boy's welder is most likely going to cut it even worse and weld on a flushed flat one with the three main holes i need.im about 190miles. : ), i havnt really asked around the main dudes that own their own shops except for one, who's a master ase tech that comes over to the restaurant on the weekends everytime and asked him what excacly that bushing was doing in there if it wasn't need, and he said "its doing absolutely nothing" its not helping and its not bothering, no point of worrying about it. as for the reverse he told me to adjust the cables, so thats what ill be messing with tomorow.maaan it feels good to be driving my baby again, and easily downshift into third without hearing grinding.more to come guys,stay tuned! and trife, for the brown car, when i put the tranny back on, i plan on not instaling the pilot bushing.

[chik0]

alrighty then.so went over to visit andre and richie over at RAW performance to customize the mount, first he was just making an adaptor, but since he was trying to get the motor at even point it was roughly a little too much, so instead modified a new bracket onto the existing 5spd bottom adaptor and wala.came home a put the bolts up back together.ill take it for a little spin tonight, just cant speed or anything since im at about 200miles on the new clutch. also here go some extra pics of the cars at his shop, the starlet,celica, and cressida are up for sale for projects.
