dude Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 As well as bolting it I always pop rivit it as well, this holds it in place as well as giving it more strength, make sure you seal all the edges to stop water and fumes getting in.

dude Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Now is a good time to fit the spigot bearing in the back of the crank, using something like a socket that sits on the outside part of the ball race tap it squarely into the back of the crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Now you can fit your nice new flywheel, if you are reusing the bolts make sure to use thread lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 next put the clutch together and put the cover and release bearing in the gearbox, I am not going to go into how to fit a clutch here, if you need to know that maybe you should be paying me to fit this gearbox;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) last chance to paint the new panel, I have covered Robs in a stonechip to help protect it from road salt etc. Edited October 13, 2009 by dude (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Mate the gearbox to the engine making sure not to trap any wires, this is a heavy gearbox, we use a transmission jack (no pics) but you will struggle to put this in without a Jack, make sure you put all the bolts in, Robs auto was missing 3 of the large 17mm bolts so I have had to use some spare drive shaft allen bolts.

dude Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 once you have ALL the bellhousing bolts and starter bolts in then push the clutch cover over the dowels on the flywheel and fit the bolts that hold the cover to the flywheel.

dude Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) before you fit the shifter and bolt up the rear box mount we need to decide what to do with the wiring loom from the auto, we need to use 4 wires, reverse lights and starter inhibiter, apart from that I like to cut the plugs off and heat shrink the ends of the wires, we use the speed sensor plug as is. If you dont cut the plugs off you may struggle to keep the loom neat as the box takes up so much room in the tunnel there is hardly any room for it. I will show which wires to cut tommorrow.

Ian C Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Why do you use the starter inhibiter still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Why do you use the starter inhibiter still? If you dont join them together the car will not turn over, on a us spec they would run to a switch on the clutch pedal:taped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Ok in the pic the red and yellow arrowed wires need to go to the reverse switch, it is on the passenger side of the box at the back and will have about 8" of wire with a plug on it that stays on the box, you will prob have to cut off the toyota plug and use connectors, it does not matter which orientation you put the wires on the reverse light will still work.

dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 and the black and black and white wires (blue arrows) need to be joined, we always solder and heat shrink anything like this. This will by pass the starter inhibiter switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Plug the speed sensor in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 All other plugs can be cut off and the wire ends heat shrunk. This is a much neater way of doing than just leaving all the plugs attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Check now that you were supplied with the correct prop otherwise it will look like this and you won't be able to use your car!!!!! The longer one is my 6 spd the other 2 are from an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just a note to add: The speed sensor on the Tiptronic gearbox is completely different to the standard auto box, and this method doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we do a tiptronic I will let you guys know how to get round it!!!! You may well need the man VVTI engine loom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine has been resolved. Just waiting for the car to get started to see if the speedo works. I got a modified manual na vvti loom from Jody that linked the gearbox to the engine loom, and it appears to be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Could you not do this to a uk or jap spec as a safety feature? Yes easily dude, you would just be able to use the stock toyota clutch pedal switch for a us model and run the wires to it. Would be ideal for those who don't know how to drive;);)......................and women!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
