IS300 First Drive After R154 Rebuild - POV

[@washingtonsupply3967]

Just bought a brand new r154 for my na-t is300 super stoked

[@Brakenex]

Dude that's awesome! Cant wait to see it!

[@blindcheto195]

Good work. I also finished R154 manual-swapping mine. I have this shitty short shifter and it is extremely notchy (I also upgraded the shift forks). The way it looks to me, you're using much less effort shifting than I do. What shifter are you using?

[@Brakenex]

My shifter is notchy as hell. I used to have a TopSecret shift knob, which is maybe 2 inches tall? But it physically hurt my wrist if I drove the car for an hour because you had to almost force it into gear I got a super long shift knob and it's easier But after a FRESH transmission rebuild, now 3rd gear is grinding again :/

[@blindcheto195]

@@Brakenex Oh that's so unfortunate. Could it be the transmission shop mistake?

[@Brakenex]

@blindcheto195 I don't thiiiiink so and I really hope not because it worked fine for a few months, but my thing is I only drive the car on weekends/every other weekend so it's hard to say

[@brandongray6113]

Looks like it shifts super smooth, I’m doing the same thing soon. Hope you’re still enjoying it

[@Brakenex]

Same transmission? I would recommend having it rebuilt I'd you're unaware of mileage or way it was used! And I am, I haven't been driving it nearly enough because its just a weekend car and it seems every weekend here it's been raining

Sounds so good!

[@Brakenex]

Thank you! Love the trans sound!

[@andrewgarviso7582]

Looks fun to drive

[@Brakenex]

It's an absolute blast! I wasn't trying to get into it on the first test drive back on the road, just trying to listen for any strange sounds and get a good feel for it since it was down for 7-8 months But the next time, I'll be a little harder!

[@Brakenex]
