I've stopped by The MR2 GURUS shop a few times a month over the last year to talk to harry about obviously MR2s. He has always seemed very helpful and knowledgeable and in no way "ripped" me or anyone else i have seen him do business with. Also when Harry was not avalible because he was under and/or working on a customers car. I found that Mindy knew more about cars than even myself, having worked on various model cars(including MR2's) since I was 8 years old, this being said I always found her advice welcome and sound. And when she didnt know the exact information, or specs that I was curious on she asked harry right then and there about it.

as far as the transmission goes how can you install something wrong that goes in in one peice attached to the motor

You are very right in the fact that there is only one way to install a transmission. However any mechanic knows, from your average driveway warrior to a Porsche Master Technician, when a transmission grinds in every gear that is typically a clutch problem, so did you actually bleed the clutch properly? Also any good mechanic would do the research on a swap they never attempted b4 even saying that they could do it.
I know I sound very one sided especial with this being my first post but it honestly just sounds to me like you(streetspeed) are trying to place blame on anyone except yourself, because you made a promise you couldnt keep to your customer/clientel, about being capable of doing a NA to 3rd gen swap. As stated previously MR2 GURU is a
service shop not a
tech center. How can you even begin to place blame upon them when you yourself did not do your own research (Other than call Harry repeatedly to ask for advice, yes i say repeatedly because while I was there for one day when both harry and mindy were very busy with helping customers I noticed that the phone was ringing non-stop literally. I have been to The MR2 GURU shop quite a few times, I had never seen the phone ring off the hook so much. I noticed the caller ID kept saying the same number you posted in your first post
over and over again.)
I know not how
you(streetspeed) do business, but to have a fellow business in the same market go out of their way to help you with no extra profit for them and then procede to bad mouth them when you have neglected to do research on a swap you know nothing about. Relying on them to tell you every single small detail on how to do a 3rd gen swap.
I apologize if I have offended anyone in this post however I feel that this too is a possiblity if someone wishes to question the honesty and trustworthyness that Harry and Mindy, throughout the year I have done business with them.
