Id definitely recommend some MT-90.
If you have an aftermarket clutch-type LSD, MT90 will make the car unusable due to the horrendous clonking and locking of the LSD...
My wee shift bearings arrived today so hopefully get both jobs done next week at some point.Ryan S wrote:I do just have a stock diff
- MT90 ,ay be worth a shot then.'skateboard bearings' SBITs mod for BRD polyurethane bushes and the difference is night and day!! I also took apart the gear bell crank assembly on the transmission and cleaned and lubed the pivot points for good measure, along with the gear lever pivots and ball / socket too. My gear lever has gone from not always returning to centre to swiftly pinging back like a morning glory 
There is nothing particularly special about MT90 other than it is an example of a high quality GL4 oil. I'll deffo take your advice about cleaning everything up too! Can anyone confirm this will fit before I buy it? It doesn't state fits turbo model but are the N/A and turbo the same? Only difference is the cables AFAIK, and thats just one of them is a different length IIRC. Seems to be pretty low quality chinesium with a name slapped on. This shifter does appear to have good reviews though. Any other kits out there? I couldn't find any for around this price 
The polymer cup is a wear item so you'd need to source a new one, otherwise a waste of money I'd have thought.- https://gt4-play.co.uk/shop/gear-selector-bush-set But the car is 26 years old I guess! 
So i think my plan then is to buy another (stock) shifter box and replace all parts with new toyota parts. I'll see what can be done at the gearbox end as well. Having been thinking about this while driving the car i do feel like the clutch isn't 100% disengaging when depressed. Sometimes the shift is smooth as silk (only at low revs) and other times it can feel a bit notchy. Just to be clear the shifting isn't as bad as I've perhaps made out. It's just at higher revs i have to ram it into gear, Not ideal for 1/4 mile times which was a big part of why i built it. It felt like a brand new car when shifting ð E153 certainly feels more stout, but it also feels a bit slower, I've yet to drive an E153 equipped car that matches the S54 in that regard.(90386-12022) is a great idea to change. Not to mention, something worthwhile to do on my 2 when I'll be bored.â¬3.XX +VAT from Toyota each...I just got off the phone with the local Toyota dealer (Hugh Boggans)(2x2) are in stock in Belgium, I can collect them on Thursday at the dealership. You can save great deal of time. Otherwise you give them the VIN etc and then the bloke will start looking in the catalog while you trying to explain what you need...(I'm Hungarian) straight away when I call and I just throw the part numbers at him.

I bought the poly bushes direct from BRD at a much lower price than GT-4Play sells the same thing for, but he does keep the items in stock and has a bunch of useful other bits too! I'll just ring toyota with those part numbers. I'm pretty friendly with the local parts guy at Toyota here too so shouldn't be any issue just to confirm (since i'm quite thick) none of those part numbers are the bushes for the selector cables at the gearbox end no?

Agree, it's difficult.
I use TCB, TwosRUs, Nengus etc time to time and I REALLY appreciate their service, but if I can get something for cheaper and quicker, I will choose that option.Ryan S wrote:That's great man.
â¬35ish + VAT so I didn't go with it. Mine is still grand, not worth changing it for around â¬50(maybe TwosRUs), might be cheaper elsewhere...you need to research on that one. I think i'll just renew every part possible except the cables. They are in good condition and I don't really want to do it in all honesty! But everything else I may as well. It's the only section of the car that isn't split new now Ryan S wrote:So helpful dude thanks a lot.
& drop plate. Although at that point you might as well get the short shift kit which includes the drop plate and refresh it fully. Noticed they sell a cup for the Racer X kit also.
