there is no way a manual tranny uses ATF. thats like 0 WT oil.

Moar pictures, i don't get much time to work on the engine at work so i did what i can.










I'm gonna touch up the paint on the intake manifold, I'm hoping to clean up the wording so it looks a little better. Next week, got lots to do, timing belt, water pump, tstat, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, intake gaskets, and the hose from hell and that one hose from hell thats on earth.

well i think the ct26 has to much shaft play, i'm gonna take the safe route and try to find a used one in good conditon or get a rebuild. Any ideas anyone?

[Mstoochn]

I have a CT20b if you should need one

I have one if you need it. It has some shaft play but not as much as others that I have seen, and never gave me any problems.

I'm going to pull the 7a out this weekend, so big things are to come.

I'm not to sure on to which throttle cable i need to get ahold of for it to work with the 3s anyone know?
Also i'm looking for gt shifter cables if anyone needs to get rid of them.

On a gt, you can use your stock throttle cable, but just make an extension bracket to mount it back a little bit and give the cable the proper tension it needs. You can also use the st185 cable, but its REALLY long, and you might have to creatively move it around so that it doesn't look bad.
Not sure on the ST cable though.

[speed-CCNP]

You can't use the ST cable. I had to replace my cable with a GT cable.

Thanks lagos ill get a hold of one of those soon. Hopefully get pictures up tomorrow of the open engine bay

i feel spoiled getting to use the lift and what not. Using air tools is a big plus also. I'm hoping to get the 3s in next week saturday.

I hope i have it done by the time the midwest meet is happening, you going ender?

[JuMPiiN]

[Stambo]

I need 7a-fe pinouts for a 95 st celica. All data isn't showing me much of that kind of stuff. I got the rest of the diagrams except for the connects that connect to the dash.

no go for me. I have classes and midterms to worry about. Plus someone decided to crunch my whole drivers side so I dont want to go to a meet until i get that fixed.
