    I have 5-speed trannys only. Sorry.

    Contact your nearest salvage yard, ask them to contact other yards on their "NetworK" for the A/T you need, otherwise you will spent a whole lot of time searching this out yourself.

    Automatics are not easy to find!

    You might try a free Want to buy ad on e-bay.

    Contact local tranny shops and see if you could track one down locally too.

    Kinda wondering about the swap you mentioned?
    Probably the auto to stick shift?

    Good luck out thar.

    Tim,

    I saw a recent posting you made about having an extra thermostat housing. I am looking to
    replace the thermostat in a 1986 MR2 and have no experience with it. The coolant bleeder
    valve is frozen and I broke off the plastic tangs trying to get it out. I may need to replace
    it and will probably replace the thermostat while I'm in there with the battery out. Do you
    have one that I can work on outside of the car ahead of time for practice? Where can I
    get a replacement bleeder valve that fits in there? Do you have any? Thanks.

    Dude,

    Your going TT? WoW...Me Too

    I'm a 12 year TT competitor with the SE Divisional SCCA bunch. We race Teladega, Sebring, Moroso, Roebling Road, Bainbrige... when we go out.($)

    Your gonna really like this balls to the walls stuff w/o a bunch of crash dummys in the way. Plus, your real likely not to have to rebuild your car weekly----Budget Racing? Cool..

    OK 91-93 owner? Huh? well, lets see then....

    The S/C stock trans has a "oil" pump, uses 90-120w.
    N/A C-52 trans-no pump, thicker oil (cheap to fix)
    Lesson over.

    Racing Secret:When the c-52 trans/spindle/half-shafts are used with S/C susp arms there is a 4ws effect impaired, ? the harder the turn-in the more toe-in. Now, Picture this enhancement magnified w Goodyear 14x10 in wide C type slicks. Nearly brakes my neck with the Helmut on.

    Holy crap Yes, the wing is Porsche (ruf?). Dude, You are the first to note so in 5 years, really..Took about 3 weeks to adapt it to this tiny trunk cover....Good guess dude..
    What you can't see bro are the 3 inch rear brake cooling inlet ducts put in front of the "pressure area" at the bottom of the wing. And,the flat inlet grill at the top of the AWACS Dish is the ram-air for the supercharger intake air thru 2 ea K&N filters. get-r-done

    Got any Yellowbird pictures? I'd like to know what the frack the looks are. After all we drive a ("poor mans" Ferrari?)
    ok Maybe a HPDE Quickie??? ahhh huh what?

    Wanna talk why the v6 is neccessary? I'll be listening.

    NASA sounds pretty spacey dude...(NASA is a 24/7 Cabletv Channel down here)..............really!

    Take a moment when you can.

    Heya Tim \

    Your car looks badass! Where on earth did you get the AWACS dish from, the Ruf Yellowbird?



    I don't do any snow racing but I have been running HPDEs for about 7 years and am prepping my '91 Mk II with a V6 swap to run in NASA Time Trials.

    I'm glad you're here! We need more racers. Please keep us updated on what you do!
