sidewaysdan Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Haha ok mate no worries it’s been a while since I’ve looked on the group.. so can you do it tomorrow then . Only joking. The car is currently SORN for the winter when would be a good time to get this upgrade done . Would the box need to come out or can it be done in?

David P Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It can be done whilst in as long you helped a bit, but with now 7 collapsed discs in my spine, I'm not volunteering to grovel around under anybody's Supra's until Summertime weather returns.

sidewaysdan Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ah ok mate.. if it helps I’ve got a car lift in my garage if you wanted to come to me.. or I come to you but warmer climates sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) It can be done on a lift and with a transmission jack, however, the job is far more "controllable" when done on axle stands and with an OE jack. Doing it on a lift also means that every little spring, bolt or washer that you drop will ping off somewhere into the darkness or under the bench and a lot of the continuously dripping ATF misses the drip tray. Doing it on axle stands, the ATF runs up your arms and off your elbows into my huge, squidgy & catches everything drip-tray, doing it on a lift the ATF runs up to your armpits and also down your neck until it drips off something else! My spine is in a bad state and "standing-still whilst looking-up with both-arms-extended" is my nemesis and I physically can't do that anymore. Standing-still for more than a minute traps a nerve in my lower spine, looking-upwards traps a nerve in my neck and holding both-arms-extended above chest-line traps another nerve in between my shoulders, any one of these "happenings" will floor me with "white-pain" for up to a week? A level drive on a nice sunny day or a floor inside a workshop is as good as it gets. Again, all of this information is in the Transmission Group, of which you are a member. I even wrote to you by p.m. offering to upgrade your transmission to the latest Hybrid spec, free of charge, on my new level concrete drive during the lovely weather we've had all summer. Now you know why! Edited October 14, 2018 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysdan Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Shouldn’t be the valve seals as they were done when the engine was refreshed and it’s only covered about 3k since . Suppose I could try a oil change last one was done about 500mls ago. Could it not be really bad valve stem seals and really thin oil mate??
