So over the weekend I, my brother & a mechanic friend of mine removed the trans from my SS-II. Have all the bolts in labelled bags, so it'll make it easier for reinstalling later on.


Can't wait to feel the difference of the Jun flywheel, SS clutch line & TRD clutch set up compared to the above stock set up.
The S54-06A out

It was after we got into the top 5th gear cover where we stopped so reinstalled the bolts
And yup non LSD thin bar, soon to be replaced with TRD no bar goodness.

The thicker 3S-GE axles

So where am I up to now, you ask? Other than a bit of cleaning. I'm dropping the gearbox off to a good friend who works at Toyota and is going to do the LSD install for me. I've picked up the rear main crank seal - something I missed of my shopping list. and this weekend we'll do the seal, install the new flywheel & clutch ready for when the gearbox comes back. And replace the passengers or LH side CV boots, as the outer one is on its way out.
The front & rear engine mounts are new with polyurethane filled to give a slight added strength, and since the trans mount was out and we had spare sealant we did that mount too.
