The price of 4AGE T50's these days......

[Mr Revhead]

yep i can understand that. but i dont think thats a problem in the toyota boxs

Fair enough, I've never pulled a T50 apart so I couldn't tell you, GTX box's how ever....

[matt dunn]

Dunno if it makes a difference on a T50 box, but in GTX box's putting better bearings in them makes them quite a bit stronger.

Because of the angle cut gears, the input and output shaft push each other apart and then s**t just hits the fan and all hell breaks loose in there

Yeah I severly doubt it.

We rebuilt a W5* series box with super strong expensive bearings in an effort to stop destroying them, but it made no difference to the life of them. They still only lasted the same time.

better bearings dont make the gearboxes stronger it just makes it last slightly longer then the usually standard bearings, if you want to make your gear box stronger you get all the gears cryogenicly frozen and get steel selectors shifters made up. ( toyota w series box )

We had a custom gear set made for the W55
and have had brass shifter forks made for the R154.

brass shifter forks for the r154? i thought those gearboxes were bulletproof. i used to have a jza70 supra factory 5spd with r154 and i couldnt break it, the car had a single to4 and gtr intercooler and 16psi boost and the gbox still took all the trashing fine. who did the brass forks would steel be stronger?

hehe the dunns can kill anything


cept kp60 starships


nothing is bulletproof, EVERYTHING has its limits

lol, I broke my 2k starlet, did a diff etc etc etc.

The R154's have been a problem in that car. It was actually a brand new gearbox thru toyota too.
I dont think it was a hp problem. There is actually two boxes for that car. One is usually in it and one is usually being repaired.

The car is due back this week and is getting a hollenger 6spd seq. fitted like the focus.

[Mr Revhead]

[Si]

Isnt there an issue with one of the input/out put shaft bearings on the 154?
i have pics online but i cant look at em as the hosting is down.
