R154's don't really take a crap do they. It's usually just the thrush washer that goes bad. right? My buddys MK3 has gone thru 2 another buddies cressida has gone thru 2 r154s. A crazy amount of clublexus and na-t guys have gone thru r154s. I hardly ever hear about people eating up w58s. Why is that? I know it's not because nobody is using them because alot of people do.
I'm really feelin that MC R154 rebuild. 1300 bucks is pretty reasonable IMO... I mean I can't afford it right now, but even being broke I think it's a good price.

Cherplex are you just doing a str8 rebuild or you upgrading components ?
The shifter sits low because it's a 6 speed....

I killed my W58 last week doing a strong 3rd gear pull. All that was left was 4th gear. But I did win!
