L18msy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Welcome to the club! There is a trader on here, his name is Keron. He is the man if you are looking for second hand parts and his prices are good as well mate. As for the gear selecting problem im sure someone will be along in a minute with an answer for you. Could be mount related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Danny As said, Keron is good for good quality used parts or you can get new OE or aftermarket items from Paul Whiffin at Whifbitz (authorised trader on here). If the clutch work doesn't fix it (poorly fitted clutches can cause the issues you describe), a replacement gearbox from Keron is another option mate. Alternatively, keep looking as there are plenty around including ones on here which vary in price based on spec level and overall condition. Best of luck with it fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clapyohandz Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 To me, it's not the best idea to start with a car having issues. Have a friend or a member in your area take a look at it. So you won't end up spending way too much fixing things all around the car for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The gear selection problem may be down to the bushes in the shifter cradle. And welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 mate if i were you i would stay away from the car you are talking about and carry on doing your homework on what to look out for it took me a few month to find my first supra and it was worth the wait , and i think you have done the right thing joining first just to find out a little bit about the cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Welcome Danny. Have a look around mate. There are some top guys in your area who will provide a wealth of info for you, Jevansio and Jurgen spring to mind good people here. It's worth taking a look at this. Quite a bit above 1700 notes but a great deal of car with a lot of expensive and rare oem extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
