Wow. Well that majorly sucks. Maybe thats why the car had such low mileage. I actually hopped in Cossey’s car and felt that clutch, holy shit… not for me. Felt like a full race application clutch. ---

I dont have a spare. My clutch is essentially stock with an aftermarket pressure plate. I know Mr. Conrad replaced his clutch with a tilton, however his was pretty much spent by the end of last year, and I think he used the RPS clutch. Sounds like your going through a nightmare, let me know if you need me to reach out to anyone. ---

I’m being told that the sup/skyline 6 speed share alot of similar components right down to gears and syncros. That leads me to believe that there might be a chance the IS is the same and if so I can track one of those boxes easier than going through the skyline sources overseas… I’m getting a toyota breakdown for the tranny from my buddy up at Newcountry off exit 15 right now. trying to compare things here… If ray has even a center disk that I can test match up to the broken shaft here it’ll assist in finding if the spline will even remotely work(same splines or not) ---

Not sure about the R34, but I’m pretty sure the older GTRs use the same clutch spline count as the GTS-T, I have a spare clutch plate to test if needed, but I don’t think that would help you find any similarities between the Skyline and Supras. ---

The V160(supra MK4 six speed) and R160(skyline GTR six speed) are identical transmissions internally…gears, baulks, nuts, bolts, bearing…EXCEPT for the damn input shaft.

Eh, new V160 is like $6000+ IF you can get one. :ohnoes Didn’t know the skyline utilized that tranny. They are bomb proof. You need just the input shaft? ---

Correct, just the shaft(so far) I am going to magnaflux and inspect the other internals but being that this car has sub 17K miles most will likely be alright. $6K is the going rate for an R160 as well from japan(new) plus overseas freight. I’ve been doing alot of resesrch on these transmissions over the past few hours. I have a theory that IF I could get a V160 supra input shaft, I can do some machine work and make a superior shaft to that of what is in the R160 using the V160 part. My buddy Mike Duise @ Newcountry is looking into it for me as we speak. I can snap a picture of the R34 internals, they look exactly like that supra V160 internal picture. Same ratios and all. ---
