R154 - who can tell me the name of this thing / a build plate so i can buy a new one?

[J0RD0]

this shaft is broken and i need a new one. What do you call this part? and good old toyota wont help me unless i have a vin number and all that shit. anything from a jza70/jza80 etc basically anything that came with a factory R154. any help would be appreciated.

[whatthe?]

Surely with the photo they can look it up in the EPC? Call James at Castle Hill Toyota and tell him you want to email a pic. He's very helpful. If I had to guess I'd say Input Shaft cover?

Hey man,

JZA80 never came with R154's only the MA70/JZA70 turboes did. (and some other non supra cars).

Would seem to be this bit 33131-35031.

Called Retainer, Bearing, Front.

How did you manage that?

[J0RD0]

bought it as is, from a man named "shifty". it came from japan and it was on a crate so i can only imagine a dodgy forklift driver hit it some how.

that bearing retainer is also found on local Toyotas such as Hilux v6 and Prado with R150/1 gearboxes

[CrUZida]

No doubt its also found on local Toyotas such as the MA70/71 turbo Supra...

ok thanks guys. Will ring castle hill toyota. On another note i just got a chance to dummy fit my motor tonight and the shifter goes past the original shifter hole, can anyone tell me if you can convert a remote type shifter R154 to the non remote shifter type? would i need to change the rear housing? or just the top part?

[CrUZida]

You should be able to have that welded back in if its too expensive.

Yeah, you can convert them, but I don't think its as easy as unbolting and rebolting.
Depends what car yours came from, all the remote shifters have different bolt patterns where it bolt to the box (rear housing).

[J0RD0]

jzx90 i think

i was thinking that too but if i welded the collar back on then the welds might not allow the throwout carrier to sit as far back as it originally did, and if i grind back the welds it would not be as strong as it originally was. Or do i worry too much?
