i PMed you back Jeff

 

i PMed you Brad

 

I'm really hoping you can help me complete this "kit" I got from Smaay

I have the MR2 axle shafts but they have the wrong outer CV joints on them.

I have no trans shift linkage on the trans. Do I use the OE linkage from the OE trans?

I also have no RH axle support/carrier that bolts to the block.

MWR tried to sell me their install kit for $2900.

Any help is very appreciated!!

 

On my swap I ordered the speed sensor but it didn't come with the gear for it. Does anyone know how I can get this gear without going thru Toyota?? BTW I have Smaays's kit.

 

Does anyone have a photo of their E153 as I need a close up photo of the speedo plug on the tranny...

 

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.

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

which one?

 

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

 

Any updates on final install, driveing impressions, etc?

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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:

 

Yep ^^ Thanks Mat recieced mine today

 

:ugh:

 

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?

 

Thanks for the quick service Mat.

 

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.

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

 

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

 

thats got to suck !!

 

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!
