Towing a caravan, no problem.. This is a Solifer 5502i from 1988. Measured the Engine Coolant Temperature when towd this caravan, about 95 degrees, just as normal.

"This 28 foot trailer is heavy, but the van pulled it down to the curb without any issues. Best minivans ever made." - ‎J. Blabey‎


Ted towing trailer


Sergio towing, have painted sides white.

Daniel is towing a Toyota Previa. Pretty heavy load!

Be careful out there.
SC an NA are rated at 3500lbs with a 350lb tongue weight. That being said, if you're hauling a bigger load I'd definitely use trailer brakes.

"This kind of work is actually pretty easy. None of the bolts are rusted stuck and you make constant progress. I went mostly with the factory repair manual's procedure. Really the only difference to some other transmission removal is the fact that you absolutely have to support the rear of the engine while the transmission is out.

I replaced the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and the pilot bearing, with new ones. All was LuK aftermarket except the OEM pilot bearing. That's a good boundary for replacing parts as any of these can destroy each other, but nothing outside of these really can. The original parts seemed OEM."

 Remove engine rear mounting bolts?

Toyota Tacoma seems to have the same gearbox and perhaps also the same engine..

Here a clutch replacement on a Tacoma from 1997:

 "The Drive shaft was probably the easiest part to remove on the whole car. 4 bolts, and it slides right out of the transmission. I love RWD. Book said to mark it for reinstall. So I did so."

Toyota Previa in Bahrain near the raw material

"Out for a cruise today. Not a petrol/gas station in sight but plenty raw material below.
"

Are there any Previa in Bahrain?

Gregory Eatman says that there are quite a few Toyota Previas around and the scrapyards have plenty of spares. Toyota parts support also still strong.

Looks like the owner has turned the passenger front seat. In better words; reversing passenger seat. Wonder how it was done? Anybody know? I guess you cant just turn it around and bult it there?
