monstaru Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 mine is front engine, but like someone that i put off time and time again told me.....move that engine back.i just did not think i could do it and make it fit .now, as i look at my front links , and oil pan.... they obviously were right.damnit.and if they read this. they will revel in it i am sure. anyways.it wil have fairly non equal length driveshafts.the t-case is mounted almost in the middle, but the front suspension link is almost a full 1/3rd longer than the back to surpass the oil pan.BUT..... super close to it though........cheers, b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This has to bolt on the existing shifter hole on the trans, be no more then 1.25 inch high and give and exact 'feel' to the driver in both motion and distance of motion Those of us interested in using this for 4WD use in lifted rigs won't have the same clearance issues. We could do perhaps with a simpler, hopefully easier to produce setup. Would 2 or 3 inches make it easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do perhaps with a simpler, hopefully easier to produce setup. Would 2 or 3 inches make it easier? I will document the shifter as I go, there are many options at hand, that in itself is a problem because it tends to lead to distraction, there are two idea's in the mix. first of all I build the narrow block 4G63 Mitsubishi turbo engine adapter to the R 154 Toyota tras suitable for the engine swap in the Starion Conquest, this application requires the low profile of the shifter and a short swing ' joy stick' style shifter handle second is the longer shift handle required for a truck style shifter that comes stock on the original Toyota transmission, with a newly relocated mounting perch moved to the drivers convenience either way, the shifter must be located so the driver takes its location and its function for granted, just like everybody that ever drove a car takes the brakes for granted, they work every time and we think nothing of it There is nothing worse than working your rump roast off getting the transmission you want mounted in the car you want and having the shifter handle either under the dash or behind the front seats Its like kissing your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill hincher Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I dont know what I did here >;o( This is the final sand, the housing on the left is built off of the original pattern on the right, but it is 1% smaller because of shrink when casted, many details were added and removed, all the demensions were checked and rechecked, now it goes into final casting the next step is to machine them out when I get them back Edited February 17, 2011 by bill hincher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill hincher Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I dont have an exact number for the unit, I keep my stuff in the $300.00 range, the only extra cost on this is the throw out bearing and collar I gotta build, so thats gonna add $100.00 on the unit , Mellow sent me the bellhousing I cut up, and a flywheel and a clutch with the clutch fork and pivot ball, so its only fair that I let him test this thing out E mail me at japaneseauto1978@yahoo.com Monstaru and I will get the next unit out to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill hincher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I keep trying to mount the remote shifter as low as possible on top of the trans, I dont want as little obstruction as possible I built a flange to mount the bridges accross and locate the new shifter rod, I keep moving peices back and forth, up and down trying to seek the lowest level and still maintain mechanical leverage originaly I wanted to place a window here to see the pin go in place but I dont know if it would be an advantage to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill hincher Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 In the 4 bolt engine on the left the lower starter bolt is not in the block, in the 8 bolt engine on the right, the starter bolt goes all the way through, how should I arrainge the bellhousing to accept either set up? use a stud mounted in the housing? or thread the hole and allow the owner to drill it out if necessary? well here goes nothin, one full years work >;o) all good things for a man starts with a hole they didnt get a clean edge on the facing, I had to cut this one too far, I need the adjust the pattern a bit thicker on the front facing I didnt have enough time to surface the trans side yet,I just mocked up the trans facing, I was just checking how much I could take off I was VERY happy with my locaters, the bolts fit in the proper place in each mounting, it may use one more shrink to get a little more definition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow65 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 this is how it is with the 4 bolt tranny what i have done when i used a 8 bolt trans on a 4 bolt motor was just tapped and heli coiled that hole and put the stud there. i also have seen people just not run a lower bolt either. i know someone that did that for years. not how i like to fix problems, but it worked.

These studs litter the junk yards, and even if you didn't run that bolt on an 8 bolt it's not the end of the world. but IF someone felt they needed to run it they could drill out the threads and put a bolt in there. i have never found a difference between a 4 bolt and an 8 bolt starter in the way that they bolt on, so it would work for either with the stud there.
