    w58 in ls400, what a p.i.t.a

    I make sure not to buy to good of tires any more , I have had pretty good luck with w58's tho , only had one send gears flying and that was from having bad bearings and the main and counter shaft seperated. It was also in a car with 315/35/17 drag radials, a twin disc and a 67mm turbo. But...

    w58 in ls400, what a p.i.t.a

    Here a little up date on the conversion. Ended up getting a 93 cluster, rewiring and using a marlin crawler screw on speed sensor. Also changed out the cnc 3/4 clutch master for a Tilton 1 inch master , the feel is much nicer and has decent adjustment. so any one that is going to use a t56...

    Which throw out bearing setup to use with Tilton 7.25" R154 setup?

    From what I remember , the T/B was flat against the trans bearing retainer, I haven't had to pull the motor or trans in 6 years so I'm not 100%. I know for sure it was easier to setup then the t56 T/B I just did on a single disc.

    Which throw out bearing setup to use with Tilton 7.25" R154 setup?

    I used the howe throwout bearing on my quarter master 7.25 twin rally , never had any issues, it took about 1/2 inch of travel from start to grab to full grab. it took a bit of throttle work to take off smooth. only thing I didn't like was the noise from the floater plate at stop lights with the...

    w58 in ls400, what a p.i.t.a

    A friend of mine that rebuilds clusters hooked my cluster up to a hz generator it took about 350-360 hz to read 60 mph , and on a 93-94 cluster it took like 65 hz to read 60mph. We tested two 90-92 clusters just to make sure. I can get exact hz numbers to mph if that helps. The part...

    w58 in ls400, what a p.i.t.a

    thank you for the reply, I can ether change my cluster to 93-94 which isn't cheap or find a good 90-92 ls400 20ppr vss and make an adapter. Ether way I'm looking at spending some money for a working speedometer, for now it can wait till I finish the supercharger install.

    w58 in ls400, what a p.i.t.a

    Some info on the speed sensor , 90-92 ls400 is 20 pulse per rev , 93-94 is 4 pulse per rev. So looks like I will be doing a cluster swap as I can't find any speed sensors that are 20 pulse and fit the w58 trans. If any one knows of one that is a 20 pulse per rev. I would love to know before I...

    So I bought a 90 ls400 with a blown trans a few weeks ago for a few hundred bucks , to finally put my $125 dollar w58 to use. And all I can say is what a pain in the azz this thing was, I have built hundreds of cars and have never had to make so many custom puts in my life. I cut up a pair of...

    So you have a steel flywheel with the correct bolt pattern and ring gear ? And the cost is around $300? Is there any lead time or do they ship out with in a few days?
