hey guys,

anyone have a 6 spd manual trans sitting in their garage? how much play is the input shaft supposed to have? if i grab it i can definately wiggle it, but i also measured it, looks to be about 1/16th of play.


if someone can confirm that this is normal i would appreciate it

cheers

I dont have any lying around to compare to your video, but I can tell you there has been noticeable play in the ones ive put in. How much I cannot remember exactly.

Did you just pull it off to service the clutch? Or does that trans have an issue?

Just saw your other vids, so this is a 1jz/350ztrans/SC400?

That sound is crazy, and from the video of you shooting from the boot hole (is awesome!), but also doesnt really look like there is excessive play in the shaft or rotating assys (your eyes would be the best judge, the video quality may mask minor vibrations).

Im not sure how there can be that much noise and still have the transmission function, but it definitely seems like it is coming from inside the trans. And only in gear and seems to shift fine, although you are granny shifting hardcore lol.

Off chance stuff but have you verified there is no imbalance at the driveshaft?

Did you use an adapter plate to mount the trans (I think I saw one in the vids)?

Cool project wondering how it came about??

thanks for the replies man. i am thinking the noise may have actually been from not lubricating the throwout bearing slider and maybe putting the clutch fork on wrong. it is just a used transmission and im hoping its fine. i am reassembling it all now and will give it another go, need to refab the shifter bracket to put it further forward first.

the reason i am going through all this trouble is that toyota transmissions are much crappier and more expensive, a 6 spd nissan trans costs less than a 5 spd toyota trans and a 6 spd toyota trans is 4k used, 6k new, ef that.

the 1jz is a wonderful motor though. ill post an update once i get it all back in the car in a few weeks.

It definitely sounds like the normal 350z cement truck noise, just amplified much louder.

Definitely a cool project, good luck keep us posted.
