... realize that my clutch was not broken ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
And another 45 seconds to drain the tranny fluid and find metal pieces all over the place. Mark me up as another person to verify that the stock 5 speed tranny is pretty well maxed out at 450rwhp. I put 7,000 miles on it with ... what seemed to be ... no problems other than my first aftermarket clutch breaking, but apparently the tranny wasn't as happy as I thought.
I do have pictures, but I am not at my home computer yet. I will post them when I get the chance ... in the meantime, if anyone has a spare 5 speed tranny, please hook me up. I need my daily driver back asap.

Thanks ...
I will not be upgrading at this time, it is just not convenient timing in my life to do so. I will be replacing with another 5 speed manual tranny and then trying to save up pennies to make a big improvement in the future.
I do believe I can make the next one last more than 7,000 miles. I had 120 dyno pulls and 8 track passes on this one, plus countless street races and street tuning, we were really straining it for a long time and I think that if I replace it, there are a lot of things that I won't need to do that push it so hard, if you follow what I mean.

Ocassionally see w58's on Ebay and the parts trader. Would sell mine, but it's still in the car, and has a few worn syncros.. Maybe Tap recycling, or one of the Supra NA / SC300 guys who upgraded, has one available.
