September 6, 201114 yr nice header work mate!!!!cheers b Thanks, it turned out pretty good I think. At least it will work good for me. Oh and man I hate wiring.
September 6, 201114 yr Hey bill who was your guy that you go to for clutches? I'm at the point of needing one and want to start figuring out my options. Thanks
September 7, 201114 yr Author you just use the Toyota disc and the rest is all subaru the disc was used in mid 1980's pick up with a 22 r engine if you want a clutch built , its Dan at compitition clutch

You just rant and rave about your clutch guy and I wanted to see where he fell on price. Can he do puck discs too?

September 7, 201114 yr Clutch has been ordered Dan said he was overwhelmed by your shop when he came to visit, I can only imagine the chaos that is your shop with all of your projects.
September 8, 201114 yr So where does the AX-15 out of jeeps fall into the mix with the bellhousing adapter? It's the same transmission as a r150, just a different input shaft on it, right? Finding a transmission for a jeep cherokee in a junkyard, sorry, "automotive recycler", would be a lot easier than finding one out of a toyota.
September 8, 201114 yr if it really is the same as you say. which I dont know that for sure. lol you would then just need a different clutch disc. get one for a jeep instead of a toyota as long as the disc diameter is the same. find a pilot bearing that fits the trans and the subaru. and then use the subaru pressure plate and all the other things said in this thread.

September 8, 201114 yr Author I would be glad to help anyone on the AX 15 trans adapter but I dont see the advantage Just go down and buy one and ship it to me, it may take a couple months the input shaft is 2 inch longer then the R 150 and the throw out bearing collar is longer, but in the end all the engineers are doing is locating the shifter back for the Jeep aplication Its the same R sereis trans built by Asian
September 12, 201114 yr Hey bill what's up with your shifter relocater? Are the done or are you still messing around with them? Would I need to give you a "I need it moved this much" figure? Or how does it work?
September 15, 201114 yr Author this is the remote shifter, the first thing I did was replace the shifer loop extension with an R 154 internal set up then I located and mounted the second peice from the R 154 shifter and located the shift rail then I started building the body of the remote shifter I could have done this a lot of different ways but it had to be very universal because it will fit a variaty of aplications and it had to work just as well as a 5 inch extension to a 2 foot extension I will probably spend just as much time building the tooling to machine this part
September 15, 201114 yr I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to fit it to use a cable shifter. I started looking into using a Subaru transmission in a mid-engine/rear-drive application, and found a number of people that adapted cable-shifter setups without too much difficulty, which gives you just about infinite flexibility as long as you have cables long enough.
September 15, 201114 yr Author even if you wanted a cable set up, you would need this part, you need the remote shift rail to get your cables hooked to, so you still need the box on top of the trans
September 16, 201114 yr I think the remote shifter will make all the difference for most of us. That's the biggest stumbling block left for a Subaru application. Thanks for the pics Bill. I see myself ordering both the BH and the remote shifter systems from you when both are ready. GD
September 16, 201114 yr even if you wanted a cable set up, you would need this part, you need the remote shift rail to get your cables hooked to, so you still need the box on top of the trans fair enough. do you know what the compatibility of that shifter extension will be? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that looks a bit different than the shifter on the W56 that came out of my '86 4runner.....
September 16, 201114 yr Author fair enough. do you know what the compatibility of that shifter extension will be? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that looks a bit different than the shifter on the W56 that came out of my '86 4runner..... I dont quite understand what your asking but it is compatible with a shifter from the Mitsubishi Eclipse in either cable or solid shaft design there is no restriction on length or positioning, the only real downside is the higth of the remote shifter box, I will be building it as low as I can but its still too tall for me, I didnt want to require too much sheet metal to be removed
September 17, 201114 yr Author NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like it was made for that engine bay Edited September 17, 201114 yr by bill hincher

It's been awhile since I had the shifter off my W56 transmission, but I didn't think it looks like this: mellow65....that looks awesome! Should be sweet.
September 17, 201114 yr NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like it was made for that engine bay YES WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I have been saying it for awhile that this thing fits quite well in the engine bay. The key was the early 2.2 heads, they were small enough to clear the steering and not need to do major surgery on the frame rails.

It's been awhile since I had the shifter off my W56 transmission, but I didn't think it looks like this: mellow65....that looks awesome! Should be sweet. you are used to seeing the shifter loop ( I call it) in the shifter housing, yes, that is a W series transmission with an R 154 shifter collar taking place of the original W series loop, its just a collection of Toyota parts that are crossed over
September 20, 201114 yr It's alive!!!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!! 2 battery's and 3 sets of jumper cables later and miss grumpy woke up. I did take some video so I'll patch that together with my couple failed attempts.
September 21, 201114 yr Author god help us now >;o)))))))))))))) ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez al we are gonna hear is about Mellows car.................... my car does this and my car does that
