Nope, if there was no shim on the 2J/ 5 speed hes got it right. As posted before the
only thing left is the pressure plate. If the trans is still in would be worth a try w/ a pry
bar on the release fork to see if the pressure plate collapses/ releases. If it's apart
I'd have to try another pressure plate.

Okay guys.. *UPDATE*
We feel defeated.. this is what? The 6th time we drop the tranny? And still nothing.
-We replaced the aftermarket spec pressure plate for my old OEM one off the 2jz. Has WAY better pedal feel than the spec one, and we also went under the car where the fork is and we actually SEE the pressure plate depressing from the throw out bearing.
-We even added a socket as a spacer again after we swapped the pressure plate and still, NOTHING. We still can't go into gear when the car is on.
Does anybody have ANY suggestions..? Maybe something we missed? Were we supposed to specifically swap something out or adapt something that has to do with the tranny when using a w58 on a 1jz? I'm using all 2jz w58 parts on my w58 tranny, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Right now we're using the OEM Flywheel, Spec Clutch for sc300/gs300 from MVP Motorsports, and the OEM pressure plate.
-When the car is on the floor, we put it in first gear and turn on the car with the clutch and brake pedals pressed. The car stalls out even though the pedal is pressed all the way.(So obviously we're still having some engagement issues)
At this point we're throwing logic out the window because nothing makes sense anymore lol.

Hey everyone giving you an update..
Still nothing, but I do have a question. We're starting to think that we might have the wrong clutch setup? We'll be swapping in the OEM clutch that was originally in the w58 to check if it works, then if that proves out we'll be ordering a new clutch system and junking the spec kit.
Does anybody know if ANY w58 clutch kit will work on the w58? Or did I have to order a supra clutch kit? I ordered my spec clutch kit on mvpmotorsports under the GS300/SC300 5speed parts section, should I have gotten one of the MK4 supra ones instead? I do have a tripod shifter tranny so would that make a difference or are all the clutch kits the same for the w58?

no like I said previously, we've tested this theory out by adding an extension piece between the slave pin and fork. We also replaced the slave, it was the first thing we did when we had the issue.

this is completely different and wrong. go under your dash and adjust your engagement point of the clutch by making the rod longer. its a simple fix always has to be adjusted when changing a clutch. i mentioned it earlier

Could you guys take a look at these pictures I took today? We took down the tranny again and here are some detailed pictures of the flywheel:

The flywheel contact surface is barely a hair above the rest of the flywheel. I've seen brand new flywheels and they are a lot more meaty than this one. Think this might be the source of my problems?
