got my speedo healer working, drove the car, trans feels good, few problems though, its kicking out of second, feels like its just barely hitting something preventing it from fully being in second, makes me think the linkage is the slighest bit too short, or the shifter bracket is slightly too long, and man is this thing freaken loud, also I only took a 10 min drive and the trans was hot as shit, I wanna hear from full blown on the second gear thing, anyone else with the swap have any problems with second? but i must say it shifts so nice and feels great, the thing with second was really only happening when i would be rolling in neutral and try to go into second it would just kick out, normal shifting it seemed to stay in second ok

I ended up removing one of those square rings that sits around the supra shifter, it was blocking it from going into 2nd all the way. as for the trans heating up, mine does get very hot. I can feel the heat through my centre console. No issues so far from the heat

drove again today, i reset those lock down squares and tightened them down hard, drove the car to the gym and back, never kicked out of second, and i think for the first time ever @ this power I did a hard 1-2 shift and it felt amazing, my speedo is still reading a little high but thats an easy fix, but these long gears and the feeling of knowing nothing will break(lol ok most likely) is just amazing, car shifts like butter and its super easy to drive, only downside is its loud as f@#k, the trans, the exhaust, and a few rattles i have just make this wall of loud noise, but i still love it, really enjoying the car now, finally,

It really does feel awesome I know what you mean, but god damn its loud lol. Supra guys say they need to have a heavy flywheel to keep noise down if not its just like our situation.
