is your r154 notchy? Sometimes i feel the gears when shifting. Just wondering if its normal. Sometimes it shifts really smooth other times I can feel the gears going to each other. It is filled with redline mt-90. It doesn't make any noises or anything.
Oh yeah, def feel it all the time, especially going into second mostly.. most other gears I dont feel what i feel in second..
I really thought it was just me, but glad im not the only one hahaha
^^^ lOL That's why i love the r154 and V160 very notchy, even this weekend i was talking about it with my friend.
It's normal they all do that , specially the 2nd Gen With the tripod.
People were telling me the v160 was smooth compare to the r154 in shifting. I don't really know from experience since I have only driven the r154. Maybe later I will sell my r154 swap for a v160 if I can find one from someone that I somewhat trust.

Mine is notchy on 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.... they seem to go away when outdoor temperature is around 75 degrees. I use MT-90 too.
I bought an AR5 Aisin transmission, pretty sure it will fit, differences are mount, clutch disc, driveshaft, shifter, etc. Excited about triple synchros on it.

I dont really know either, I have never driven a v160 car but I do have dreams about it lol... Hopefully someday Ill be able to afford to a v160, just wish they werent so damn expensive!!

Has anyone done the AR5 yet? Thats the GM sky/soltice trans right?? I wonder how they hold up to big HP??

Pantherqs has his 2JZ Solstice running 800hp as he claims.. he said AR5 trans holding up really well. Search the thread "pontiac tranny" he replied at the end.

I have to take a look today.. sounds interesting!!
I was looking into the v160 but the rear diff alone goes for 1700 all day. Lol that's pricey just to get the correct rear end. I will just stick to the r154 for now.

Yea I have a auto Tt diff. But the v160 uses a 3.13. Those diff are extremely pricey so pricey it made me not want to do a 6 speed. It's roughly a 10k tranny swap. 4k tranny 2.5k clutch 1.7k diff. 1.8k in parts driveshaft etc. ouch. Lol. Unless I find a good deal on a v160 it will be a long long time before I can afford v160.
