My 97 sc300 build by jwin

3 minute(s) of a 14 minute read

Sent the shifter housing to get welded again on a jig. I recommend anyone that does the r154 swap to just cut your shifter and weld it back 4 inches. It's way easier and you don't risk messing up the shifter housing and lever. Those parts are discontinued from Toyota. If you weld it straight back with it being 90 degree at each end I don't think the throw distance will change. 97-sc300 did it on his sc and it seemed to work fine for him. Since I already cut mine up I will be going that route. Been kicking myself in the butt for cutting up the shifter housing. I could have save 225 and the car would have been done this weekend.

Brakes lines are here. Just got to install them. Give a car a good wash and it will be time to play with this new toy. So excited.

Stainless steel brakes are in. Need to bleed them. Then off for a test drive with auto tt, r154 and better brakes.

So yesterday I finish my car put my car back on the ground. Started it up and I couldn't disengage the clutch to put it into gear. So I put the car back on jacks took off the inspection cover and the slave cylinder rod could be pushed back with my hand and the pedal was really light. The slave cylinder rod moves with the pedal too but not enough force to move the hub. After some research this morning I believe that it cause I didn't bench bleed the new used clutch master. Has anyone else had this problem?

Wasn't that bad to take the tranny out. Took me roughly an hour and a half. Waiting for a new OEM pressure plate and clutch disc. I put a used one when I first installed the tranny. Guess it a good idea to put a new one in since I'm already in there for the second time. I might be driving this car stock for awhile considering funds are low.

Reinstalled the clutch disc the correct way. Only thing left is to install the exhaustand driveshaft. Hopefully this solves my clutch not disengaging. My friend has a set of iforged seneska off his g35 that he wants to sell. Do you guys think they will fit the sc? They are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 offset unknown but they sit flush on the g35.

Clutch is fix. Will take it for the first drive in 3 months. Pretty excited to drive it but its getting late.
