This weekend I plan to install a new clutch and a rebuilt TII transmission

Years ago I was sold on the Centerforce Dual Friction clutches, I had this clutch in both my 7 and 6th gen Celica. Years pass and I find I really don't care for it as much as I thought I did, time for improvement.

EXEDY Racing Stage 2 (10952A)


Before fuel injection and no rev limiter, I stupidly reved the piss out of my 7. . Ignoring all safety concerns, I drove like this for years and killed about 3 transmissions in the process. I admit it was dumb and because transmissions don't grow on trees, I now have a rev limiter (and luckily still have feet/legs)

Here's an old video


Because of that kind of abuse, I was on my second TII trans. The first was had a seized fifth/reverse clutch hub as well as broken synchros. The second one that is in the car now is just bad synchros (I hope). I plan to rebuilt this one since it's a JDM S5 TII.

Until then, I'll be rocking this rebuilt S4 TII and keeping it as a good back-up for me or for anyone else.
