V160 syncros and bearing kit
Well it looks like i'm going to be doing a bearing and syncro kit for the V160 transmission.
Any reccomendations on bearing and syncro kits for the V160 AKA Getrag other than the dealer? Dealer has no kits. Just indevidual syncros and bearings $1,000.00 dealer price. I wonder which one I got V160 or V161? I guess it does not matter.

Right now I’m looking to see if anyone out there is selling a parts kit. I live in Calexico Ca. 92231. I don’t think the labor is a big deal I was quoted $600 for labor. It's the parts that the dealer wants over 1k for that I was trying to see if I could get for a little less $$$. I guess these transmissions are expensive to begin with. I got the name of two places in TX that does rebuilds on the V160 but it’s too far for me. I will post the names and numbers tonight when I get home from work.
Well I just read this http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=387214
And that is exactly how mine shifts. So now i'm thinking the clunky/noisy trans is normal and that I just have a noisy input shaft bearing.
Anyone else have a V160 that acts just like whats described on the link?
Anyway a transmission fluid called Royal Purple Syncromax is supposed to be as good if not a little better tan V160 trans fluid. Robert Carlson (from Supra forums) did a write up on the changing process. The forum is long so I will just paste what he wrote. Hope he (or anyone else) doesn't mind.
Changing your V160 Transmission Fluid
By:
Robert Carlson and Long Tran.
Parts:
Two bottles of “Toyota Gear Oil V160”, Part number 08885-01306.
An oil pan.
An old towel.
6 feet of clean half-inch hose.
A small funnel whose tip fits into the half-inch hose snuggly.
A 17mm socket and a ratchet.
A 17mm wrench.
A torque wretch.
A jack.
A jack stand.
A block.
A 0.5 liter metric measuring cup.
Steps:
Park your Supra on a level working surface (your driveway/your garage).
Engage the parking brake completely, pop open the hood and close the door.
Block the passenger side front tire.
Jack up the front driver side wheel and set the jack stand for your safety.
Locate the transmission fluid drain plug and the fill plug.
Place a towel under the fill plug and use the 17mm wrench to remove the transmission fluid fill plug, place the plug in a safe place.
Move your oil pan under the drain plug and remove the drain plug, the fluid will come out with some force so be ready.
Put the dirty ratchet on the towel; place the plug in a safe place.
Let all the fluid drain from the transmission, this should not take to long.
****Replace the fluid drain plug.
Take your hose to the engine bay and route the hose between the intake manifold and the brake master cylinder until the hose comes out beneath the car.
Get back under your Supra and position the hose’s tip inside the transmission through the transmission fluid fill hole, do not let any of the hose hang slack below the fill point.
Return to engine bay and fit the funnel’s tip into the end of the hose.
Pour a little transmission fluid into the funnel and check under the car that the fluid is going into the transmission.
Pour your first bottle of V160 gear oil slowly into the funnel.
Get your measuring cup and measure out 0.5 liters of fluid from your second bottle; pour this into the funnel.
Measure out an additional 0.3 liters of fluid and pour this into the funnel.
Slowly raise the hose to ensure all the fluid has passed through it.
You now have 1.8 liters of fluid in your transmission.
Remove the funnel and hose from the engine bay.
***Install the fluid fill plug.
Torque the fluid fill plug to xx ft/lb, and the fluid drain plug to xx ft/lb.
Remove the oil pan, towel, and tools from under and around the car, and don’t forget to put everything back where you found it.
Remove the jack stand, lower the car, remove the block from the passenger side of the car and close the hood.
