Homer 94sc300 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Just serviced my LSD couple years ago but this 94sc300 is about to get an overhaul since Im having trans problems, or torque conv problems. Have another post in regards to swapping the tranny to a manual, prefferably from a Supra. other options: whats the stock stall rate on my torque converter now?, and what would be the best to change it too?, should it be rebuilt or replaced? I hear the Supra LSD will bolt right in there, looking for less top speed and transfer that potential into a more low geared car, more acceleration, i don't need to go 146mph where i live. Or do i have mine rebuilt to get that performance i'm looking for? make sense? i know its not much but i just gotta do it for my own self amusement. I work as a mechanic partner in an auto repair shop so labor costs are not a concern at all also prob gonna change the oil pan gasket anything, other than my novice questions that ppl recommend i do while i got the tranny dropped out, already lookin to replace all gaskets involved doing timing belt and water pump with radiator hose kit to go with my new radiator (which i replaced in O'reilys parking lot in 110 degree weather...fun shtuff) other ideas????? wanna do it all while im in there. much appreciated and still checkin my post on a auto to manual swap Turbo (low psi) on the way, but i wanna knock out these things first of course Input would be awesome

What have you done so far?
Homer 94sc300 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Been a while to respond. Ive only done the front end, time has been limited for work on my own car. timing belt, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs and wires, rotor car and distributor, few smaller gaskets along the way. Spent 2 whole days just cleaning inside and out on every part. not much yet. but runs better than when i bought it 6yrs/65k mi. ago, its at 170k now. Got a local transmission parts guy got everything new that ill need for a major overhaul on the A/tranny. i get with steels and filter and everything for about $270. but i did find a 94 auto supra tt trans with 84k miles on it for $700, still considering that but thatd mean lsd and maybe a drive shaft right and im not sure thats my top priority right now anymore, but i love the supra parts any chance i get. Car doesnt even drive yet with a burn clutch and/or torque converter. Torque converter i want a new custom one built to 2500 stall rate im thinking, any suggestions? i think much higher may run too hot but id love that extra performace. that'll be about $400, not bad. any further thoughts on these things id much appreciate. Ill be on the forum much more often these days. Thank You
