Yer it will last about 1-2 months on the power im going to be putting out, by the second one i will have saved up for a r154 to put in itOriginally Posted by urantia
The all i need it a new tail shaft and bell housing
clutch also...
the clutches are different as R154's run a pull type clutch...as opposed to the push type of the W58...
so if you intend on ditching the Wbox then dont fork out big bling on a clutch or you will regret it when it becomes a paperweight

Not to sound like an idiot, but why cant i run a push clutch with the r154, i will be getting the bell housing made so ill have it set up for push not pull.
Or better yet i will put the old falk mount of this bell housing on the new one
why get the bellhousing made?
its an unnessecary expense when you can EASILY find an R154 - 1JZGTE bellhousing...

People ask about 2-300 dollars for a bell housing, my pressure plate and clutch cost me $700 and i can get one made for 500.....Originally Posted by MR 1JZ
or i can get the one for 2-300 and put the clutch falk mount off my current one and make it a push Heheh
Ill probably just buy a bulk order fo w58's for about 150 each, and deal with atht for a while hhehe
im just suggesting it mate...you dont have too do it...
i would just prefer to use factory made parts if you have the option...that way you know its all going to line up, you wont have issues removing the gearbox from the motor if its in the car, etc, etc...
