arnt you the first to get the MWR E153?

i dont know about theirs but mine installs exactly like the OEM one

 

Take some pics and do an install guide....... for the weak ones!

 

............
ignore - just did some digging. looks like you guys arnt using a BMW box at all lol. nevermind

nevermind

 

WDF... seems like they sent me the 1zz flywheel!! 3 months waiting for them to fabricate the flywheel and they send you the wrong flywheel?!?!? This has to be a Joke...

 

happened exactly the same to me

Looks like a mislabeled outer box from our suppler. No excuse, we should have caught it. We're of course sending a replacement by UPS Express service today at no cost.

I have confirmed with all of the other customers from the first batch that their flywheels are correct. 5 had already bolted them up and reported that fitment was perfect.

Matt, thx that you gave me a refund code. BUT wait, I had to send it back to your address in the US for around 120$. Will you add me still a further refund code for my additional shipping cost? I am sure with my next two orders you'll still have your great benefit nevertheless.....:wiggle:

 

No that is Monkeywrench at it's best......are you sure it's not a MR2 flywheel....?

 

Nope it came in the box saying Toyota Celica.. Placed it with the crank and holes dont match! waiting for them to reply to my email as i posted them pics also.. 3 months waiting for this kit and now more time to wait!

 

thats got to suck !!

 

That's why we kept as many stock parts when comin up with this solution....Good Luck

lol so 2/5 so far have been sent with the wrong flywheel not 1/5.. any more out there?

 

Thanks for the quick service Mat.

 

Spoke to Parano today, as he was installing his kit this week and he told me that it seems like there is a problem with the starter part. apparently you have to drill a new hole to install the starter mount, as there is a problem with the shifter shaft... mwr made a custom cut on the shaft to put the new shifter weight...but with the kit the cut is not at the right place...so you cant shift therefore it this part needs to be modified. Anyone else with this problem?

 

:ugh:

 

Yep ^^ Thanks Mat recieced mine today

 

ma car finnaly run .....i have a little probleme with the weight like tumasgts said but this morning i fix this part with a friend... so everything run very good... the transmission shift very easy ....all the time when a speak to matt he try to help me...and he said to me: ( I apologize for any inconvenience- let me know if it does not work one once everything is together and we can get a replacement to you)... so it's enough... i have a e153celica to drive

 

congrats, glad you got your working and running :gap:
now how about some videos of that monster running the 1/4 :hitit:

 

so how did you guys solve the issue with the starter not fitting???

 

This was never an issue with our setup. The stock starter bolts up in the stock location.

Several more kits have hit the road now. Positive feedback on fit and function.

 

Great stuff steve! try get a vid up of your car at 24psi

 

That's another Celica and now another Elise up and running with the kit. Everyone seems to really like the more substantial (solid) feel of shifting this bigger transmission. No other reports of interference with the shift lever mechanism so we're checking in to it but we've test fit the units that remain in stock here at the shop with perfect alignment on all of them.

 

Wish I could stretch to one of these trannys but alas no chance. Final piece in the power jigsaw and it would help making things bulletproof

 

amen to that

 

Any updates on final install, driveing impressions, etc?

 

Just got my twin plate this morning, hopefully monday I install the kit!

 

which one?

 

Its from super clutch, custom twinplate to fit my E153 flywheel. Will post up pics when i have a chance

 

workking on the kit and i have the same problem with the shifter shaft like parano... Great..

 

Send me an email for details. It could be an assembly issue but I'll help you get it figured out regardless. We've got at over a dozen customer cars confirmed on the road now and only two reports of shifter shaft clearance issues. The other one was solved pretty easily.

Interesting choice with the twin plate clutch. The off the shelf ACT's will hold more torque than any 2zz will make. Were you able to get the slave cylinder and clutch release to work properly?

 

Hi Mat, I ended up modifying the stock shaft as the one you supplied me was totally out of spec...

I also had to mofidy other parts of the kit which had to be direct replacement.

The clutch i have is a twin plate which holds over 450tq.
