Tony,
Glad to hear that you're back on the road. I like your little impromptu test
that showed how the driveshaft can move in toward the rear seal. Where you
able to get a car tranny from Komex? I talked to them last year and all they
had at the time were truck trannys. If you got a truck one, how low is 1st
gear and do you notice the lower ratio?
Thanks
Bob

Subject: [TR] Tranny changeout
List,
Just a note to let you all know what evolved through the Toyota tranny
changeout.
I ordered and received a rebuilt transmission (W-58) from Kormex, they were
at $400 for a rebuilt, very cooperative and friendly.
The original supplier really wasn't interested in helping me out at all.
After installation of the tranny I took the driveshaft to six states in Salt
Lake City and they balanced it, $30.
I drove the car with the tranny cover off and could see the driveshaft
clearance and when I decelerated the driveshaft would move closer to the
rear seal.
I removed the driveshaft again and took it back to six states and had them
shorten it 5/8" and make it one straight shaft, $40.
Car runs great and I am feeling very comfortable that I won't have the same
problem again.
See you at Yipsilanti
