Project 6-speed

[Gibbon]

What is this bottom rubber seal you speak of? I don't think my box came with anything like that, only the rubber boot which is part of the shifter.

This one possibly?

[grahamd]

Yes - that's the one. It covers the linkage bushes to stop any grit getting into them.
It's a real pain to get on when there's heaps of room so would be very difficult with the shortened shaft.

[oldcorollas]

you going to weld up the legs at the back? or leave em hanging....?

Ah, now you mention it I did have something like that, but you're right it's going to be damn near impossible to get it on now!

you going to weld up the legs at the back? or leave em hanging....?

Actually they're just in the way so they're going to get chopped off.

You're not concerned the other two will break?
You've made yourself quite a bit of a lever there - just curious if you're as excessively gentle on your shifter as you are on the remainder of the drivetrain?

I'm with Mos on this one mate...i've been in the car with you and i give that shifter a week unless you wack in some extra bracing. Just use some plate as gussets to tie the long legs back to the shifter housing....looks like you'll just have to lop off 20-30mm of the end then and it'll be solid as.

[Norbie]

Hmmm, you guys may have a point there. I'll see if I can find someone who's a bit more experienced with alloy welding... maybe I'll go hassle RZ.

[The Witzl]

so.... any 6speed love Mr Kime?

[Norbie]

Clutch parts are being ordered, the clutch itself is being built by Direct Clutch, and the floorpan welding is scheduled for this weekend - although my new toy might be a bit of a distraction, so don't be surprised if I end up getting nothing done.

I'm not in a big hurry now that I have a new drive car, but I do intend to have this completed in plenty of time for Dubbo.

[Mr Ed]

What you mean is youre in an even bigger hurry now cos your new toy takes up the entire garage!

[Alchemist]

You have to drive the Century to Dubbo! It'll be more comfortable, and just so damn cool. Although an MA61 with 2J is also very cool...you have a hard call to make

[whatthe?]

Tow MA61 with said V12 luxobarge, no decision, easy

[love ke70]

ill drive one down for you.
serious offer

[Mr Ed]

Just put the Supra in the boot of the Century

[Norbie]

LOL it would nearly fit I think!

It's a tough choice, 2JZ 6-speed MkII or V12 Century. I know which one would be more comfortable on the 10-hour trip, but I also know which one will run a better 1/8th mile!
