5 Speed Kit
Assembly
A lot of the assembly work can be done on your
workbench. There's a bunch of stuff you can test fit and a few things you can
put on before installing the tranny in the car.
Test Fit Stuff
There's a rubber baffle/gasket that is located under the shifter
housing on your Toyota 5 speed. You may want to re-use it or buy a new one form
your local Toyota dealer. The part number is 33143-22020 and the washers are now
built right in to the new ones. Once you have the baffle, you'll need to cut it
to fit your Triumph. DO NOT permanently attach any of this to the transmission
at this time. Just test fit everything for now. . DO NOT add tranny fluid before
the tranny is in the car as you may find all your fluid running out the rear
flange area. You want to install the tranny in the car and then fill it with
fluid through this top housing. Once the fluid is in the tranny, follow Herman's
directions for installing the various shifter housing pieces with blue or red
Loctite.
The area in the yellow lines need to be cut out. |
Here it is, all done |

Next up is the Triumph shifter and assorted parts that you've saved from the
removal from your car. Hopefully, when you removed the shifter you didn't lose
any parts, especially the little spring and ball at the very end
of the shifter.
Here's all the pieces
except for one bolt that I need to take off of the
tranny bracket. |
|
The little spring and
metal piece fit in here |
|
|
Herman's nylon ball presses on |
Don't
forget the spring & metal piece |
|
|
REMEMBER: You're just test fitting
components at this point, so don't use any Loctite on anything.
So now let's see how the old Triumph shifter fits in a Toyota 5
speed. The fun part will be your first test run of the shifter
through all the gears!
Put the shifter housing
on. The shifter end with the nylon ball goes in that
little hole. |
|
Shifter in adapter cover.
the two bolts go into a slot in the shifter and have
a groove that the
cover twists on to. |
|
|
Spring
goes in narrow side down |
Cap
surface will get a little grease later on |
|
|
Cap twists on and locks
with one bolt. Put tranny in neutral & it's easier
to get the hex bolt in. |
|
|
Shift
it to 3rd & 5th and it'll probably hit. |
Shave
some away until you get extra clearance. |
|
|
Now remove all of these pieces and
store them until you install the tranny in your car.
Throw Out Bearing and Bell Housing
is next.
