Finally picked up a D/R. But I have some more questions. I'm sorry for the cell phone pictures, I'm hoping you guys can make out whats in the picture. Is the gear shift stick? It's loose and goes any direction, not like it's being put into gear (like it is in the car), is it supposed to be like that or is it missing something? And in this picture (below), the top stick is the range selector, but what is the bottom one?

This thread seems to have taken a turn. GD - that's great information but I'm putting my D/R into my Loyale.

Because of the way the tranny was taken out of the car, the actual stick (metal rod) is cut, so I need a new one. And from my understanding, I thought the hole in the tunnel (for the sticks) did not have to be altered to fit the range selector/5-speed stick

Can the linkages be bought anywhere new? What about the rod that comes through the floor? And is there anything else that should be done when it's out? It only has 60k on it

Sounds simple enough. Also, where is the best place to buy the linkages, and the stick (that sticks through the floor)? If the trans is in the car, can you get the linkages off?

Yeah I think I can figure that out But the 4wd and neutral switch will connect to my harness?

I just looked at this thread and saw a half naked man instead of one of my trans pictures. Last time I use tinypic to host pictures. So does that mean that trans is "plug-n-play" into my loyale? No crazy wiring needed?

Audi 4000. Mine has a 20v straight 5, they are awd and fun as hell

This isn't it, is it?

What does it look like?

Bump, help me out! I'm looking to get one today

looks really good!

This is my roof set-up: It's made from angle iron and steel channeling, with some eyelets welded on. It bolts to round roof bars using pipe clamps. It's very effective, and incredibly strong. Also very simple to make

I'm looking to pick up a D/R 5-speed tomorrow, and had a few questions first. I created a similar thread earlier and was told that in order for it to be a direct swap into my loyale (push button 5-speed), that I needed to find an 87 or later tranny, otherwise I will have to wire in a neutral switch. So my questions are these: How can you tell on the trans, what year car it is from? (Is there a way to tell the difference between a pre-87 trans, and a 87 and later trans?) Do the pre-87 ones have an external neutral switch, whereas the 87 and later ones have it internally?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've had 50mm and 25mm adapters on my Volkswagen (5x100 to 5x130) and have never had an issue. But I would advise you to go with 4x100 over 4x130. Many, many cars use the 4x100 bolt pattern, and almost every good/cool comes in that pattern.

So I got my tires rebalanced, and it still shakes

Are you saying that your problem is that your tires were misbalanced, or that your wheels were not torqued correctly?

I'm thinking it may be my front hub(s). I've e-mailed Scott, because I'm sure he can do them with more accuracy than I did. I will be getting my car aligned, wheels rebalanced, and maybe I will change out my bum axle. So I will be able to tell if they are the actual problem.

I'll have to give that a shot. Some of drivers side front studs are a little crooked. But I think that if a wheel is bolted on center, it's on center, regardless of a few crooked studs, because the gap around my hub (the little lip around the castle nut/axle part) appears to be completely even all around

Has anyone been able to correct this issue? Especially with strut top lift blocks? I haven't had my tires checked yet, but over the many years and sets of tires I've had mounted at Les Schwab, they have never messed up one. So I'm a bit skeptical on a misbalance

Yeah I figured. Even though I'm 6-lug, I'd love to have a set of those

Are you going to be selling those pugs?

I have a set of Toyota wheels (from a 2nd gen non sr5 4runner)...

I saw a lifted (2nd gen?) brat today, near my house in Maltby. You were turning onto paradise lake road from 522, and I was across the intersection. Just wondering if it was anyone here?
