5r55s to TR3650 swap

[RetroGT2006]

Need some help identifiying parts guys!

In the pedal assembly, I labeled two switches that I believe are correct.. LMK if they are what I said they are, and what are the other two?


What is this on the transmission? My transmission I bought has everything but this, its just an empty hole.

Unfortunately no new parts have been ordered, pretty broke but I think this weekend I will start pulling out all the automatic stuff in preparation for when the clutch kit is ordered/arrives.. That way, on install day it will shave off a good portion of the time.

What can I do to get the car high enough in the air in my garage to pull the trans? Any ideas guys

Wanna see my car as is? Will take a pic later. I put jack stands on bricks.

Robert,
Can't help you with the pedal switches but the transmission item is an elbow where the clutch line attaches. The transmission shop that pulled my transmission the first time broke that elbow and put everything back together without it.

The one you have labled "Nuetrul safety switch" is correct.

Top top black and red one is
Manual Transmission ; Switch - Speed Control Deactivation

The lower one below the blue/whie is the Brake light switch.


The blue and white is cruise control

Yes please, I need some ideas. What do you guys use to support the motor when the tranny is pulled?

So should I buy a new elbow or will it be fine? I imagine it can't cost very much money lol..

Awesome, thanks man!!

The motor will balance itself on the mounts

 

[RetroGT2006]

^Thanks Pat, I figured that but I was told differently so I wanted to double check.

Regarding the clutch master cylinder on the pedal box/the hose coming from the back of it, can you just buy the hose or do you need to buy a whole new clutch master cylinder?? The pedal box I received had it cut off..

 

[eddieval5]

Can only get the hose with the master cylinder. Go to the local junk yard and get it off one of the wrecked cars, It just locks in with a clip you can see it in the picture.

I'm referring to the far left one, is that what you are talking about?

 

[eddieval5]

Yes the rubber only comes with the cylinder the smaller hard plastic one you can buy separately.

Yeah, came across that photo on a google search today =/. It figures lol, at least when I buy a brand new one, I have less chance of failure than a used one from a junkyard. Prettymuch all the crucial parts that move I have bought brand new or will buy brand new. $78.00 isn't bad for the master cylinder i guess.

Ask Paul about the new 2013 GT500 master cylinder. I think it's a direct swap but not 100% sure. I know it moves a bit more fluid to compensate for the stiffer clutch so it should give you a softer pedal regardless of what clutch you use.

Will do, I was doing a quick read about it on his thread.

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Could you not use a different type of line/hose and just make sure to secure it properly?

I'm thinking like an aftermarket upgrade.

 

[RetroGT2006]

Well hopefully my tax refund comes in quick, I sent it in today.. That will let me order the rest of the shit, including clutch / pressure plate / Hydraulic Throwout Bearing / pilot bearing and clutch alignment tool, (2) Cruise deactivation switches, Neutral safety/pedal position, Brake light switch, clutch master cylinder, the tranny fluid and tune.

Spec stage 3+ is the only way to go! It feels like stock in traffic and can hold lots of torque. And it's not that expensive. Where did you find the 6060 and how much? I been wanting to do the swap.

I didn't buy a TR6060, I wish man- but this is kind of a budget build at this point as I am in my last semester of school.. I just needed the car to get back up and be reliable. After I've been working for some time and money saved in the bank I truly want to build a motor and put the 6060 in it. For now I will be swapping a TR3650 in..

 

[RetroGT2006]

Well I ordered my Exedy Clutch, pressure plate, Hydraulic throwout bearing, pilot bearing w/ alignment tool and 4 bottles of Pennzoil Synchromesh. The oil will be here tomorrow, and the clutch kit will be here thursday at the latest.

All thats left is to order my tune from VMP and get the 4 switches for my pedals n clutch master cylinder. Getting closer =). Beyond excited, sure its nothing big for the majority of you guys but it has always been something I wanted to do. The car will be so much more fun to drive than the automatic that was in it.

 

[skwerl]

Good deal. You couldn't find the oil locally? I picked mine up at Advance Auto 2 blocks from my house.
