So is the R150 and R154 kit the same? I was under the impression the R154 was pretty much a completely different transmission?

 

[SuperRunner]

no, they are not the same. Same bolt patters, different lenght of input shaft.

I got one W series bellhousing yesterday. Turned out pretty good, but he could only do one because I need to fix a couple of spots on the pattern where it didn't release. I will probably have more cast within the next 2 weeks.

He also told me that I need to let the bellhousing cure for up to 2 weeks before any machining is done to it. That is about what I waited on my 7M bellhousing. So, it will be about 2 weeks before I can ship this one out to anyone.(Give me time to build my alignment plates)

sent you a pm
let me know

Oh, and by the way, since my R154 bellhousings will still use the factory pull style PP, you get much better clampling force than compared to a push style PP that Dellows uses.

Thats why they invented hydrolic release bearings! i am using a tilton kit on my R154

 

[SuperRunner]

but are they using the pull style clutch? From what I saw, it is still the push. The pull has more clamping force.

 

[BARRY]

pull type is supposed to have more even pressure across the friction disk and flywheel surface from what i've read.

 

[4000GT]

try and find ANY *high quality* uprated aftermarket pull type clutch...

 

[SuperRunner]

uhm, took me about 30 seconds to find this.

[4000GT]

I stand corrected, there are some, however in the brands I was looking at there wasnt anything in pull...

How close are we to having an assembled package? I'm itching to get this together.

 

[toyotasrfun]

how's this coming along?!
i'm REAALY anxious!

 

[SuperRunner]

sorry, no updates yet. I have to finish my GS300 project real quick. I tore it down over a year ago and because of other projects I havn't been able to touch it. I put the motor in the other night, and should have it driveable sometime next week. After that I will be full force into the UZ stuff.

I wish I had help.......hint, hint!

[SuperRunner]

after trying several places to do my cad drawings for the alignment flanges, I purchased some tools to do it myself.

I have 2 flanges done, and will finish the other 2 this week. I then just need to purchased the alignment dowels and some plates, and take them in to have them machined. After that the W series will be ready to go.

I will start on the R series pattern this weekend.

 

[91_4x4runner]

Sounds good. I've got my money ready.

 

[Smitherz]

SuperRunner is a man of action. I can't wait!

 

[SuperRunner]

-update

I got the drill guides for my alignment plates, I am another step closer to getting these ready. Still waiting on the actual plates though....think happy thoughts.
