    2000 mr2 Spyder 5 SPD Hey everyone, okay so. Let me preface this by saying, I took everything off correctly and put it back on correctly So I bought an mr2 Spyder a few months ago with a " bad clutch " when I was able to get it running it showed signs of a bad clutch as well, so I did a clutch...

    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...

  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    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...
  13. 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...
  14. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    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
  15. 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...

    Hey all, My 2zz +c60 6 speed swap was just completed today. Every clutch related component except for the flywheel was brought over from my 5 speed to the 6 speed. When i had my 5 speed, the clutch was working flawlessly (atleast to me it was). when i first drove it today, the clutch felt...
  17. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I have the transmission removed (replacing with a 6sp) on my 2000. While it was off, I replaced the rear main seal, got a new flywheel (cheaper than refinishing, believe it or not), new clutch pressure plate. While I have the tranny out, anything else that I should consider replacing or...
