It's the same one I posted 2 months ago. The guy is selling it already, no idea why though. It's a guy on the FB SC group.

Finding any kind of SC in the tri-state area here is a miracle.

I know if a handful of 5-speed cars for sale in the NYC area if you're interested and not picky about the year.

187, INTIMACY, are you guys in NYC? Do you know any great 2JZ turbo mechanics here that could help maintain my NA/T project reasonably close to Manhattan. My car is being built in Ma. but I need someone here for maintenance and tweaks until I understand enough to do it myself. Its TT ECU mod, R154, SAFC and I have a MapECU3 I will need to be installed and tuned at some point. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

M&S in Queens. I'm not sure right now about the status of their shop because of a recent death, but if they're still open its probably THE 2JZ shop to go to.

Also, Vinny Ten in Long Island is a legend in the 2JZ community as well, despite moving on to VQ and VRs lately.

What's with these super low mileage 5-spd SCs with slipping clutches and replaced master/slave cylinders? Are they an abnormally high wear item, is it just a small sample size thing, or are the low mileage cars from elderly drivers being driven poorly from a clutch standpoint?

If most elderly drivers are as cringeworthy with manuals as my father is, I'd say that's a reasonable hypothesis. Every time my dad drives one of my cars I hold my breath because I can feel the clutch life going out the window. It could also just be age taking it's toll on the hydraulics.

Where are you finding these things? I'm outside of NYC.

For me it's the doors. Pulling handles off the frame from tugging forever, or putting all their weight on the back edge of the door -- as far as possible from the support of the hinges -- to get up out of the seat. And that's just the horror of having elderly passengers! Drivers... With how slow many of them drive, I "shudder" to think of the dexterity to work the clutch.
