Have a buddy who informed me of a
1996 V160 for sale
60k miles
Located in Miami- willing to ship.
3500$

For anyone who is interested,
let me know and I'll connect him to you

 

I think passmans2kny needs one

 

that doesn't sound like your normal twin disc clutch chatter that's for sure. In the V160 the oem oil is ATF based so i dont know how that Motul 300 would make that tranny sound. I would have stuck with either the oem oil or the Royal Purple Syncromax. I run it in my Supra with about 800lb.ft for about 5k miles at a time with no problems and it shifts smoother than the stock fluid did.

I am going to fill it up with the royal purple and see if it makes a difference. thanks

Just filled it with royal purple and same noise, i did notice when i was under the car the noise seems
To be coming from the rear of the tranny, not looking good so far

 

nah i ordered one from suprastore yesterday, thanks for the help though

 

i was told by fernando to only use the toyota trans oil

 

If you research on the supra forums, the popular fluids are mostly in a split between people using the oem and the royal purple- both equally seem to be good, with some even stating royal purple feels smoother (but this could just be a placebo). But either way, when you research that they both work equally well by supra owners, then the variable becomes the cost, and since RP is way less expensive and easier to get, I say go RP

not to rub it in but this is what concerned me about getting a used trans, I didnt want to spend the extra cash, but i feel it might have been the right move after all

 

How much do rebuilds cost?
