One of my shift rails don’t allin as you mention in the video before putting it all back I believe it’s the reverse it’s the third one closes to you I have tried pulling it down then up I have the older r154 any suggestions or causes ? And can I just install it like that it aligns up just not perfectly a small little gap
Sounds like maybe the detent ball/spring is missing that keeps it in place? All 3 rails should kind of snap into position. Take the tail housing off, and individually move each rail front to back, one at a time. If they will each not move in both directions, the shift lever selector will not be able to move it either.
Yes I would definitely remove it and clean it thoroughly first. It's going to get hot enough to burn the oil on the inside of the case, and it's going to make a smelly mess. The last thing you want is oil on fire inside of your transmission.
Yeah okay would you recommended if I just remove the tail housing alone without removing the whole transmission like just unbolting the tail housing while still on the car ?
Help!! What do you do when you forget to take the ball bearing thats next to the Long bolt Out?? Now its stuck in gear, and i cant get it to loosen. The ball did not fall in the transmission. But it did push a rod down, when installing the rear housing i think. This is a mk3 supra non tripod version
so my shift lever on the older r154 doesn’t look like that. any chance i could dm or email you guys on some guidance on how to re-install the tail housing?
@@mk3driftmotion would you have a recommendation on how to move the shifter location of a tripod transmission to that of an earlier version of the r154 or should I just throw it in the scrap bin?
@@turnloosecollective yes we offer billet housings and arms that convert the tripod trans to 4 different shifter positions with an MK3 Supra style shift lever. www.driftmotion.com/DM-Tripod-JDM-R154-Billet-Shifter-Housing-Arm-p/dm3522.htm
This car's V12 had rod knock, and blown headgasket/s, and an engine fire at some point in its history... I did this car a favor by pulling out that old boat anchor :)
That swap is not only to be condoned, but it should also be commended for blessing that cars cool design with some actual sustainability since they were absolute dogs when kept totally stock.
Nice! I just bought a 1992 XJS and I'm not sure which engine to swap into it. Did you purchase a conversion kit to do the swap and if so, which one? Also, what was the total cost of the conversion? Parts, and labor. I just need a ball park figure to aim for. Thanks!
What is the xjr's motor capable of, how much aftermarket support does it have, whats the reliability? 2JZ is capable of 900 HP before you even open it up and change the internals... After that the skies the limit! Whats not beneficial?
"stupid engine swaps" lol This one made 317whp at 15psi for the baseline dyno, even through the power robbing TH400 (non-lockup) torque converter. I think it was a very successful swap. Everyone who sees it loves the wheels, but wait till we finish the rest of the paint and body work and the wheels will make more sense.
I don't usually condone stupid engine swaps, especially in to good cars like this, but the 2Js silky smooth straight six purr is so very Jag-like it works quite well. Same can't be said for the wheels though....
It goes 70mph as long as it is flat, slight uphill it will do 55-60mph, but on long steep hills in 3rd im going 40mph if I'm lucky. Honestly I'm never in a rush when I'm driving it :) It never lets me down though, it has gladly gone everywhere I have ever wanted to go. We drove it up to Big Bear several times and that's close to 7000 ft. elevation.
