Pics Update! Rumor has it.......New S/C Transmission Bracket
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.

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

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.

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