Full dignosis
 
So what ended up being the problem were a few things, I needed a new drive shaft because i think the U joint was bent, so I got a stock replacement from horsepowerfreaks. The second was pressure plate failure, so I got the rps pressure plate. And then I am replacing the tail shaft seal because of seepage, and he said that there was something with the slave cylinder, i cant remember off the top of my head, but he suggested I replace it, and so thats why we were doing that. All in all its going to cost me between $2000 to $2500 with parts and labor, and I bought all the parts online, the mechanic was a big help. And hopefully if all the parts come in ontime I will have my car back running perfectly by Thrusday Friday next week!

I'm glad you got everything diagnosed. Seems like a lot of $ (I know 'yota labor isn't cheap). Also the problems you're describing are very, very rare (eg. mkiv TT driveshaft u-joints just don't bend - never seen this happen even at high boost with wheel hop - I've seen several driveshafts that look like licorice in the middle, but no bent u-joints). Although the problems are rare, it seems they did happen - to your Supra. Good luck with all of the repairs and I hope it all runs great when they're done.

Oh, and the bent u-joint doesn't fit with the symptoms you described above *shrug*.
