MarkR Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've just put a manual gearbox in my VVTI tiptronic supra. Do I need to install the manual belt tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The tensioners are the same apart from the manual has a dampner attatched to the front of it. Which is easerly removed. I am to be fair interested in the point of the dampner but i wouldnt think it would make any differnece wether you had it on or now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not so sure I want to leave it off now... http://mkiv.com/techarticles/auto_to_6spd_swap/tension_damper/ allthough i am strictly an auto boy, i would fit the tensioner, Mr T obviously didn't fit it for a laugh, its there for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have a couple a spare Manual arm and dampener if its any good. You will still need the actual manual dampener casting - good time to pop a TTE wheel on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
