    Hey guys so I’m running into a problem with my smt spyder. It was running great a few days ago, but then on the way to work, at 6th gear it feels like the whole engine would lunge forward from time to time. I’ve changed my fluids and I wanna say it’s the fly wheel or has to do with some part...

    Hey All, Swap noob here. I intend to do a K24 swap once my 1ZZ bites the dust. Just picked up a 01 Spyder last week from a guy that purchased it intending to do the swap. He threw in a K24a4 since i let him know that was my intention as well. Ive read plenty of threads on the swap itself which...

    Hello! Just a warning here that I have absolutely zero idea on how to fix cars or really what it is I’m looking at when I open the hood. I will probably call stuff wrong and sound completely idiotic. That’s cus I am when it comes to this stuff. I have a 2003 MR2 spyder. Since I bought it I have...

    Wikipedia is being weird and keeps removing the C-series transmission page. Someone is keeping it alive as a draft right now, but I worry that it will one day be lost to void. Just in case, I've simply copied the info on that page as of today for a "backup". I feel this info is invaluable. I...

    I could use some help or advice with this project within this last month my mr2 started blowing smoke and leaking oil realized this after taking my bottom plastics off because they were hanging and scraping pavement. I had it looked at by a local mechanic, turns out the timing tensioner was...

    Today I changed the transmission fluid in my 2002 5-speed and could only add ~75% of a 1 quart bottle of Redline MT-90. I jacked the car up on four corners on a sloped driveway where the back end was higher than the front. I loosened the speedometer hole on the transmission, then got under the...

    Hey all, First time poster, 0th time MR2 Spyder owner, but that'll change soon. I'm looking at a 2001 MR2 Spyder 5MT out of the Atalantic North-East for around $9000. It's got a little over 100,000 miles, lived in California for half its life, and appears to be stock. But here's the clincher...

    Does anyone know the part number for the drain plug gasket/crush washer for a C60 transmission? I found #90430-18008 from here but I now have this part on hand and it seems like it's not fitting my drain plug perfectly. The inner diameter is a tad big and the outer diameter is a bit small...

    So my car runs through all the gears fine but after shifting into reverse when I go to put the car in neutral it sort of hangs up in reverse. I can move the stick side to side as if it was in neutral but I can't shift into first for example. To get out of reverse I have to shift into 5th. Its...

  15. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has seen this issue before. I bought an '02 SMT about a month ago and knew it had transmission issues from the start. At first it had some issues shifting into reverse or first gear, but it would go in if I cycled from neutral to reverse a couple of times. It...
  16. SMT
    Hi all, this is my first post here as a new owner of an '02 SMT Spyder. Luckily it looks like I haven't had any major issues with the SMT, however I'm getting a nasty whine in 1-3 gears. I think one of the transmission bearings is shot and there's grinding from 1-2 and 4-5. Rather than...

    I have a 2003 Spyder with 1ZZ and stock 5-spd MT. The shift action up and down the gears is smooth except for a sometimes-notchy 2-3 shift (the 3-2 downshift, on the other hand, is never notchy). This is the pattern I've observed: if circumstances (i.e. traffic, speed limit) allow me to...
  18. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I've been having a sort of grinding noise coming out of my transmission area that I can't pin point. It starts out as sort of a metal on metal noise but then subsides when the car gets up to operating temperature. It also goes away when I press in the clutch. I intially thought it was the throw...

    Had a spyder for a few months and finally decided to swap out the smt unit to manual. Just wondering if there is any way to swap the sequential clutch fork out of the transmission without dropping it? Would love some help, Cheers
  20. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I have a big question My first car was a manual z32 NA v6 so I’d be shifting much earlier than in an mr2 and it felt smooth and went into gear easy but that was years ago only autos since then. What I want to know is how does shifting feel for you guys? As well as if mine just feels mr2 like. I...
