Duddley Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Local mechanic here recons he's a whiz with the toyota v8s and has made heaps of auto gearbox's work by sequential shift. He said as long as it isnt tiptronic then he should get it going. Yeah man its me. Jeff! You gotta get yourself around these parts for a drunken couple of nights! Either that or probably better we go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 ^ na keen for a journey to whakas once trackday is over bro got heaps to do. Um oh yea so he just directly controls the solenoids and has a flappy paddle type arrangement? he wouldnt be able to set it up to run full auto would he? unless he has designed a micro to run it.

ae70-82 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 yeah he aint gonna run it as an automatic well as such still an auto box , box is fucken sweet condition too . out of crash test LS430 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae70-82 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 yeah cant run it as a full auto . well ya prob could but be mega pricey and be a shit load of fucking round , though it does have the factory ecu for engine and gearbox .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 well you better get soild springs chucked in the solenoids so it punches through the gears or it will be gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae70-82 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 wouldnt have a clue on that stuff aint really ever fucked around with an auto box before , whats the whole deal with the solid springs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 oh well solenoids was the wrong word in the accumulators theres a spring that acts to slip the clutches abit between changes if this spring is firmer by way of shims or a new spring it will punch through the gears alot harder, some nutters just replace the spring with a rod. Done it on a a340 ages ago theres articles on it around. God knows what shits like on the six speed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Flange this is in fact brads old one, if its the same one in the picturemean Men. Thought it was. So i take it the 6 speed auto is a techy unit. Non of the ruggard as Th400 stz with a lever on the side? Is it all electronic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 it isnt toooo techy but the ecu from the ls430 controls the motor and the gearbox.. If I know what you mean by the lever on the side then yeah this one does still have the shifting lever on the side. Pictures coming real soon!

johnnyfive Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh hey boe. Plans sound epic. Good to see there are some decent things kicking around in whakatane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Sweet project man, any particular reason for the 6 spd auto? Would you not be spending almost the same on manual conversion? Way to be different but just wondered what your basis was for the 6 spd slug. Keep it up man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think he got it cos it was cheap, as they are so new, none have shat themselfs yet, and no one really wants them, most ppl chuck in manuals, so no demand for them. The guy thats fitting it aint 100% sure he can make it a manual shift, but hes gonna have a go, hes a clever cunt, so should be able to set it up some how.

Duddley Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Firstly yeah it was cheap so I bought it without really knowing if it'd work. Then secondly I've always wanted a 6 speed ever since I was little and loved ferraris and lambos coming out with them. Thirdly... This should be a first time for something like this to happen.. Will be interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 If I know what you mean by the lever on the side then yeah this one does still have the shifting lever on the side. Pictures coming real soon! Then cant you jsut set it up like any ol auto? except with 6 gears ftw Or do you want it paddleshift stz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 ^ flange without the 3uz computer there to tell it what to do full auto would be a cunt to set up. If you were good with a micro you could set something up to shift it for you or there is off the shelf controllers for the old a340 dont know about the 6 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
