Hey guys,
Having an issue with my r154 transmission which is in a custom build, but it is from a 88 Toyota supra turbo. The problem I was having was before installing the transmission onto the motor I had the transmission sitting on the bellhousing, which is a no no supposedly. After that it would not shift into any gear except reverse if i remember correctly. I read and read and heard of a trick which was to remove the shift light and push what i guess was the shift rod and push it to the rear of the transmission or towards the back of the car. Anyways it went into all gears after that, or so i thought. After installing the transmission onto the engine and installing the both into the car, the car will work in every gear, but reverse gear is 5th gear and makes the car drive forward, and 5th gear is neutral or wont go into any gear. I'm really clueless and would dread having to remove the transmission from the car again. Speaking to some guys it seems like 1st gear, 5th and reverse are all on the same shaft. I can get pictures of the setup of gears etc inside the transmission if that helps.
Please help me, really don't have the money to rebuild it.
Thanks,
Randy Rashid
