There's gonna be a new stronger Supercharger transmission bracket released. Mine broke a few months ago and I was able to do a temp fix with JB Weld.... that stuff finally gave up and when I went to order a new bracket, I was told TRD did not want the old ones being sold. They're supposedly going to release a new one with some sort of adjustable bushing(?). I should have one of the 30 new ones in about a week so I'll let everyone know what's been changed.

finally! something being done

 

More rumor s? I hope this one is true. Why should the current owners pay for new transmission brackets . If they know the current brackets are weak and they will break easy, they should have a recall on thet part and replace it.
anyway I hope it is true

I agree.... I have a feeling that If I didn't change the pully, I would have gotten at least a discount. The gentleman I spoke with asked me if I still had the cap on before he gave me a price.

watching!

 

hey, sorry i know im a little off topic but i didnt want to start a whole new thread for this quick question, i have a trd s/c on my car and i did change the pulley and i didnt have a cap on it, what exactly is this "cap" im always hearing of?

 

it's the TRD tamper proof cap on the boost pulley

 

maybe there will be hope for the s/c after all.

 

yeah i dont think i had one on mine cause i just put the socket on the bolt and turned it off.

 

They must ask that to see if someone changed out the boost pulley to the 9.5psi one. If the tamper proof cap is still there, they would probably just give u the replacement one for free, but if its not, they charge ya....This sounds like what's happening at least.

 

The tamper proof cap is gold. I think that would sound a little suspicious if you needed one all of a sudden.

As for rumors, I'll believe it when I see it. TRD did next to nothing but shell out replacements for a solid year now with all of the problems the unit has had. More power to you guys if the new bracket comes in.

 

Yeah I agree with the 7 year old!

 

 

how much is the new bracket i just installed my trd s/c couple days ago i would rather they switch it out with the new one =D

 

I actually called on the old part number today. It has been discontinued. So there is a good possiblity there will be a new bracket. The toyota rep is supposed to get back with me in the next few days with a new part number.

 

I hope they do, this will make the decision to go with the s/c much easier

I was under the impression that the new, stronger bracket was one of the few changes made for the 07 kit
