so, as some of you may know, supershannon77 (shannon & jim) recently bought RJB23's car, and have had some...shall we say.."interesting" issues with it since she's had it.
after the fiasco @ CSP several weeks ago (wheel falls off, rear wheel cylinder blows, front caliper FALLS off (no, not the same one the wheel fell off!) and JDM guy got a good look at the car, we decided that it really needed some help.
well, it turns out it needed more that even what we thought, as last weekend, at the DWG meet, the tranny basicly locked up solid on her.
so, after talking about a plan of action for a couple days, Jeff, (Defgeph, your friendly neighborhood RC King) decieded JDM guy needed to jump into action.
so, saturday morning, jenn and i headed out to NJ to hook up with jeff, and shannon and crew to do what we could to get them up and running again.

we arrived in NJ and were greeted by a barely awoke, but happy and ready to work shannon:

once everyone had theyre morning coffee, and i had my redbull, we were all ready to get to work!

IPB Image

once we got all the non-essensials out of the way, we got down to buisness, and started tearing things out.
heres jeff, giving jim the lowdown on whats hapenning.

IPB Image

JDM guy. we're all buisness, all the time. even when we're under your car. (notice the bluetooth equipped jeff!!)

IPB Image

once we got the tranny off, we discovered nothing terribly out of the ordinary, just a worn clutch. we noticed a couple of the springs we're pushing on the metal like they we're trying to come out, but no damage to the pressure plate, flywheel, or anything else that gave us the indication that they had been rubbing, or would have caused the tranny to lock up like it did.
so, the decision was made. time for a new tranny. so, jeff, the MAN, put in a few calls to some local 6GC members, and stevenson (culpable04) came thru BIG time, and sourced us a non-lsd E153 out of a 94 lexus es300.
we drove over to newark, met up with steve, brought back the tranny and we to installing it.
first the 2 clutch disks.

the inside of the new tranny, once jeff cleaned it out with a couple cans of brake cleaner.

the rear main seal. looks like it was never done...for shame!!! wink.gif its got a new one in there now!!

the offender:

shannon, transfering over a couple things, working hard:

IPB Image

dirty girl!!!! wink.gif

IPB Image

this is how NOT to do a rear mount bracket on a E-153 equipped 3sgte swap.
ST-205 bracket, and shifter cables will be done soon (dustin is the MAN with the UK hookups!!)

IPB Image

MMMM yummy! smile.gif

IPB Image

with the help of some brute force, (AKA, Jim. lol)

IPB Image

we got the new tranny up and into place without much of a hitch at all.

IPB Image

we got 99% of the stuff back on the car, and decieded we'd had enough for the night, so the following morning we finished up hooking up the intake, a couple intercooler pipes, and the battery, filled her with fresh fluids, and took her for a few runs up and down the street to see how we did.
happy to report that all is good, the car now shifts thru all 5 gears, and reverse without too much hassle (the 205 cables and bracket will finish that off) and up and downshifts nice and smoothy.

IPB Image

another mission accomplished by JDM guy, yo!!!!
