My R154 finally let go.
Knew it was a matter of time. I have a Chaser R154 was playing around with a buddy the other night for some crazy reason I decided to do a second gear pull instead of usual third on highway. Long story short I lost 1st and reverse and there's a lot of vibration when driving in every gear. Will get it rebuilt with OEM Toyota/MC Parts. Will also look into short shifter options. Tranny hasn't been pulled yet so I have no pics of carnage or anything. Oh yea I made 433rwhp at 16psi, can't remember torque numbers but they were close. Car was hitting 18psi that night.

Man, how much abuse do you think you yourself put on it? How long did you have it? Also, did you shift up to third, or did it crap out on you during the 2nd gear pull?
*edit* I'm not saying that you were a bad driver in any way for "abusing" it. I am just wondering how strong of a tranny it is since I myself have one.

The 6 speed is not needed for what he's doing, the speed swap will be about 6k or more depending if you are doing your own swap or paying for labor.
Just let Matt rebuild it and keep moving, worst case u can pick another MK3 r154 and swap over the rest of the parts, extended shifter and bellhousing !! Done
