Jake Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Apparently, the belt could jump off the tensioner during harsh shifts on a manual. Obviously this isn't an issue for the superior auto. The 6-spd Supra TT use a tension damper on the drive belt system, with each hard shift, the drive belt tensioner spring vibrate, it get to the point were it will be bouncing back and forth from the spring reaction under heavy load shifting, this tends to make the drive belt slip off the accessories pulley's, adding this tension damper system will damp the movement of the drive belt tensioner. http://mkiv.com/techarticles/auto_to_6spd_swap/tension_damper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this isn't an issue for the superior auto. will this still be a problem on the superior NA manual due to the Harsh shifts not being as harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Interesting, yet another thing to look at for those thinking of a manual conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Guys, thanks for the concern but i need this for my auto to 6speed conversion. Yes the belt can jump off if you use an auto tensioner on a manual car. The parts are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
