and by the way this project is one of the most amazing projects i have seen come to life... but the trans does make alot of noise... does the r154 have the same problem?? and were you ever able to come up with a parts list??

I do have a QM clutch assembly for sale and it includes all my custom parts and a crossmember. If a person bought it they would still need a tranny, a adaptor ring and a custome drive shaft.
I would be willing to measure out my adaptor rings while the car is apart for someone that bought my clutch but I am not going to spend the time to measure it out for just anyone. I am actually considering making another adaptor ring to sell with my clutch set up to aid in its sale but that could cost extra.

Well I can tell you the r154 is the cheaper route, If for nothing else just for the transmission price. The QM clutch for the Getrag is pretty exspensive as well. There is no doubt the V160 is stronger, but depending on what you intend to do to your motor that may not come into play. The tranny does make some noise at idle but its not that bad, the supra guys with non-stock flywheels deal with it all the time. From what I know the r154 did not do it.

It has about 1000 miles on it
I am trying a new style clutch/flywheel combo - this one works good but it tends to be a little grabby, thats typical of twin disc bronze clutches. I had no problem driving it once I got used to it but I am always looking to try other things.
It will fit your car no problem.
After purchasing this here is a list of what you would need to complete your swap
Transmission with shifter and stock rubber mount
Custom front driveshafdt section
Supra trans tunnel part (to do it right)
Supra lower shift boot
Lexus 5 speed console boot
Lexus 5 speed pedal set with master clylinder
These are the easy parts to find

It would be everthing to mate the transmission to your engine (I would need a little time to make a second adaptor but thats included)

Ok, what I will do is give you first shot at it if someone else says they want it. It really comes down to who has the cash first but I will check with you before I sell to see if you have gathered the cash. I need some time to make another adaptor anyway.
