B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 Dropped it in, woop. Noisy as ʞ©$ɟ, clutch is grippy as ʞ©$ɟ, short shifter is balls deep in ʞ©$ɟ, clutch pedal feels like ʞ©$ɟ. All in all its brilliant. Reverse gear in like a whacky shack, no idea whats going on there. But it builds character.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 Replaced the gearbox mount to see if it would fix my 'wobble' issue. Worst fitting piece of crap ever, took me over an hour for a 10 minute job. Didnt fix shit, pretty sure its the clutch, might try some 4th gear standstill clutch frying to see if it even out the faces. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 What a day. Will update properly when our internet starts work no properly. Quote
rian Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Didnt fix shit, pretty sure its the clutch, might try some 4th gear standstill clutch frying to see if it even out the faces. Isn't this what causes clutch shudder? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 OK so I just put it all back in with fresh everything. Spigot, thrust bearings, rear main, the clutch got completely degreased and a mad scrub. Took it for a small run up the driveway and the massive wobble that was there seems to have gone so I'm guessing the wobble was oil contamination from either the rear main or thrust bearing leaking. It has this weird creaking noise coming from it but I'm hoping shit will settle and that will go. Quote
rian Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Is the tailshaft a mix-n-match job? Did you get it balanced? Although it would cause more of a vibration than a wobble. Edited February 6, 2015 by rian Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah its an RA60 front to S series rear. Will see how it goes under normal conditions tomorrow. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Posted February 6, 2015 Well it didn't break, leak or explode on the way to work. Gear changes are so much better. There's a bunch of new weird noises but I remedied that with the stereo volume. Quote
ATOYOTA Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 How good is the bread trick! Popped mine out like it was held in by gravity. Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Posted February 20, 2015 Sometimes a Camry looks so good, then thinking about it makes me fall asleep because they are so boring and I wake up and forget about them. Quote
