he does full casts. he makes beautiful pieces of work, something that really should be hung on a wall. but to quote him when someone asked if he was going to sell them

hey now, i was whining for you. but feel free to leave it where it be.

as you can see, he kind of took the spots where the cable clutch bracket would have gone. you might still be able to make a bracket work but would have to be made adding a hydro isn't the end of the world. but sorry i didn't think about it more when i talked to him originally. but yeah bill if you leave that other hole it leaves it open for guys wanting to run cable clutch assuming a bracket could be built, on our side of coarse. but remember also, it's one more thing he has to map out, drill and tap. it's just more work for him. he's done so so much, i'm willing to work with what he gives us. i mean really you can only ask so much

the second hole was only used for a cable clutch. you have pretty much removed the chance of that happening, so what ever one i left the pivot ball in when i shipped it to you is the right one. subaru was nice enough to allow you to use the newer trans in a older car. like right now i'm using a 03 tranny in a 93 car. came in hydraulic clutched car using it in a cabled clutch car, all i had to do was move the ball and use a cable clutch fork. btw i sent you the hydraulic clutch fork, the cable clutch fork is different.

you might have something there, the subaru inputs 33mm and the toyota ones 35mm both of those are ish you got a link for the quill kit

except the center of the subaru throw out is to small to fit over the snout of the toyota tranny. hence the problem with finding the right throw out bearing

I'm with you on wanting to use stock parts. i was just going off what you said about maybe needing to swap out the springs. his double diaphragmed pressure plate with a 6 puk i want to say he said it was in that $300-400 range. no more then good performance clutch. but ill stop bothering with my random mombo jombo thinking out loud and let the real people get back to work.

hey bill, are the mounting holes for the toyota pressure plate and subaru pressure plate on about the same circumference? my buddy that is running ungodly power via a NA clutch gave me the web page that made the pressure plate for him. clutchnet.com they manufacture their own clutches. so i was thinking either have have a toyota pressure plate drilled with the subaru pattern or have a subaru one built with toyota diaphragm springs. or i know there were a couple good clutch places around here that used to make clutches how ever you wanted. i don't know, just thinking out loud you probably have more clutch connections then i ever will

even farther when you think it came home as a full tranny. glad to see you got flywheel.

just so people can know for themselves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_W_transmission as Bill said anything from a w55 to a w59.

im going to stop updating this thread. follow the build thread here. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=111709&page=2

Its a beautiful piece of work. I can't wait for it all to reach the point of being done.

:slobber::slobber: i don't think i'm supposed to be turned on by a car part this much.

well keep saving your pennys. i sent him a flywheel and pressure plate so he should have them by this week. i had an idea i was going to run by him for the throw out bearing. he says he has it all drawn out in his head now it must be built.

trust me brother I'm working on it. cool stuff takes time. and this is worth waiting for. I'm building a car with the hopes of using this. i like to call it project Mazdaru.

i figure im going to get 2 when these hit the point of being done. i dont care if they sit on the shelf for years at least i will have them. i dont know his long term goals of making these, but not going to miss an opportunity like this. i have been looking for a real option for a rwd set up for a subaru for a long time now. other then welding the center diff, not much out there. i was probably even willing to get the rwd tranny that that toyota/subaru thing that was supposed to come out for ever ago. but that never seems to be made so thats not much of a choice then. i will update when i know more

still working on that throw out bearing, but it's coming along. i'm shipping him a fly wheel and pressure plate tomorrow, he bought an engine for mock up, so at least i know he's defiantly in it to win it.

a spacer i think would be fine, but we still need something with the right specs on some of the stuff to start with.

ok so the thinking bonnet needs to be put on people. i remember back in the good old days before Al Gore invented the internet, they used to have these huge books with parts in them. and sometimes it would be just one part but basically every one on the planet with specs and pictures. so in my own effort of trying to help this bell housing along i have been trying to figure out a throw out bearing that might work for this. but basically we need a bore of 1.5748 in. (40mm) but with the rest of it to be Outside Diameter: 2.6772 in. (68mm) Width: 1.0394 in. (26.4mm) and to have a face like this any thoughts or input would be much appreciated.

sadly no big updates. i have been in contact with the guy several times lately. its still moving along but the problem he is running into right now is getting a throw out bearing that will work, both to fit on the snout of the tranny and to have the right size and shape for the subaru pressure plate. if i get any big updates ill pass it along. he is also at some point going to start a "build" thread. i have seen some of his threads and he likes to have more answers before he starts showing it off. me i just got excited someone was willing to take this on.

well sure i know the gas gauge is just a shot in the dark, but it would be better then nothing. but there are 2 different sending units, 2wd and the awd. now i just need to find a 2wd sending unit.

so i have a couple fuel sensor questions i'm hoping someone can help me with. so for the sake of this thread lets just assume that i am swapping a large fuel tank out of a 1st gen legacy and putting in the smaller tank from the impreza or a 2wd tank (not really what's happening, but easier to picture this way ) so my big tank has 2 sending units, one on each side of the hump. each sensor measures around 50ohms empty and around 1.5omhs full. these sensors are wired in series so when you measure resistance going to the gauge cluster you get about 90+ohms empty and around 3ohms full. the small tanks and 2wd tanks have one sensor. but according to the service manual the sensors should measure the same ohms. so i guess the question is, does anyone know if there really is a difference between a small tank sending unit and a large tank sending unit. or i wonder if the gauge clusters are just set up to read the different ohms for a pair of sensors rather then just one. so then are 2wd gauge clusters different then awd clusters. but if so why hasn't this been brought up when people do awd swaps. just thoughts im having right now. basically what i'm doing is swapping in a full legacy harness into another car and going to make the fuel pump and sensor work in the other cars gas tank

got some picture updates today. it's not done yet, but it's coming along.

well i snapped a couple of pics if a legacy tranny next to a supra w58. the w58 is kind of chunkier, but it's not huge. i tried to line it up with the input shaft, but it's sitting on the ground so hard to do fully.

i just saw your justy thead, thought you might be interested
