    Talk me into/out of a Coil Conversion

    I daily drive a TT front coil, rear leaf setup. The ride does not feel that much different from the original iron man leaf, ome shocks i had before, but there is also less weight on the front with the ls3.

    What did you use for Mishimoto radiator transmission cooler adapter fittings for FJ62 OEM stock lines?

    I installed a mishi in my 62 without needing port adapters. The ports are shallower, but i just moved the jam nuts further up the thread and everything snugged up fine with the stock fittings. Had this set up for about 2 years without any issues.

    Transmission repair cost

    A few A440f data points to help you decide based on my experience: rebuild 1: $2500 in 2013 dollars for full rebuild from a 'low cost' rebuilder. The rebuild had issues from the get go, but got bad enough (slipping, overheating) to need another rebuild after 50k miles rebuild 2: $4500 in 2020...

    Trying to wrap my head around my transfer case full of ATF

    If I were in your shoes I would: Do this now: drain and refill the tc with auto trans fluid. Check the fluid level in the trans regularly, filling as necessary until it stabilizes in the normal range. The tc will be overfull, but based on my experience, you can run for years without any...

    Trying to wrap my head around my transfer case full of ATF

    I would recommend replacing the tc breather if you are going in that deep, as it may be a root cause. My personal experience was I had transfer gear oil getting into my A440F after full rebuilds of both. Just had my tc breather replaced + 2nd trans rebuild. Discussed here: Theory - Extra oil...

    Mishimoto aluminum radiator....who runs one?

    I also have a mishi in my 62, for about a year now. No fitment issues. It dropped right in and all the holes lined up. The depth of the tranny hose fitting is shallower than oem, but that just required moving the lock nut further down on the thread. I ran a ground wire. I also noticed the...

    Exhaust routing question with MAF 38gal fuel tank.

    Here are a few pictures from mine. Installed by a mom & pop exhaust shop in 2014, 20k ago. I recall the tech made the comment he had to put lots of bends in the last 2 feet to make it fit. It looks like the ubolt has contacting the pipe under full flex, but I never hear it and figure its good...
