Shifter location

How far forward or back is the shifter. I?m looking at that collins shifter in the thread description just wondering how much modifications were needed for it to fit. Also if the adapter plate was in the way of the clutch and flywheel.

I don't think the Collins shifter has a reverse lockout. The reverse lockout also makes it easier to find 5th. My first shifter did not have a lockout and 5th was a pain.

Questions re Dynamic Damper +

For those that ae running a completed swap several questions:

The trans that i got came with what Nissan refers to as the Dynamic Damper, a bunch of weights mounted at the back end of the trans. Have you left it on or taken it off will no ill effects ?? I am asking because I'm making a new trans cover and should I leave room for it?

What sensors that are on the trans have you been able to use ?

Pictures i should have uploaded ages ago

Howdy, so been off the line for a good while now, on the bright side i figured out imgur so ill upload the photos of the brace here.

update on my build, i had clutch issues, and alot of them, i replaced every part of the fluid system only to find out it was the pressure plate that had failed in a weird way giving me the feeling of a leaking slave.
im unsure as to why this happened, though the guy who ended up diagnosing it said it was likely either just a faulty pressure plate which does happen sometimes, or the wrong throwout bearing was used which destroyed the face of the pressure plate, one face needs to be curved the other flat on the two mating faces.
ill check when i get it all apart in the next few weeks.

sorry for the **** drawing, i was pretty early into my apprenticeship when i did it. if i remember ill draw it up properly on fusion 360 and post a link.

In trying to avoid starting a semi-redundant thread, this looks like a good place to piggyback. I'm wondering if there is a tried & true clutch master cylinder for use with the CD009. I'm getting back into the groove of my 2JZGTE 940 (with a CD009 6-speed) build after it took a backseat for a few years. I spent some time today trying to get a clutch pedal but it just doesn't seem to move enough fluid (even after bleeding out all the air). Also on the 740 master cylinder, there is no adjustment for the U-connector to the clutch pedal and there is some "dead" area up top. It looks like both the 740 and 260 use a 3/4" bore so I don't know that there is any advantage to changing it.

Yeah stock stuff works with the Volvo bell housing. If you?re using a 2J you might need to check on a Toyota forums as they might have an answer. Probably need to shim throw out bearing. Can test engagement by having car in the air and turning the wheels in gear to ensure it disengages when clutch is depressed.

I'd rather fix it with a master cylinder (if it's truly an issue) because I'm not pulling the engine/trans again to shim anything. Simpler solution is MC. I don't really want to test this in the air because the 2JZ is susceptible to crankwalk when disengaging the clutch on a parked engine.

So, put a few miles on mine.
Setup is:
B21ft
Cd00a(brand new)
Yoshifab stage 3 clutch and flywheel, throwout bearing, crossmember,driveshaft
Deeworks adapter.
Autosports engineering top mount shifter.
Factory 3.73 gearing.
Wilwood clutch pedal and master, with puller slave
First off this swap almost broke me, but I think it was worth it. I absolutely love the gearing.
The box is quiet, I don't hear any noise like others have stated.
It's a whole different car now and I love it.

Anyone use the Autosports shifter for the 240? The gears are very close together, and apparently I was supposed to take some material off of the side detents, but I never did it. Just curious on if anyone else has used it.
