Love the rightup!! I was wondering though. Does anyone want to do this in SoCal that knows how to do everything? I am looking to buy a MR2 really soon and i really want a T-Top. I know picky but whatever. Well if anyone wants to do the swap i would be willing to give you all my manual parts needed for all your auto parts.
It would work backwords I suppose?
Tell me what you think. I don't have the space to do it.

I'm sure it can be done on jack stands and a lay down roller thing you lay on.


Very nice write up! I have an Auto tranny and might just swap it out, especially if I get a Gen III I'll have no choice but to!

You mean you want to swap from Manual to Auto trans?

If you know how to do it and can bring some tools im down for that. Kinda a long wait but it might work. I dont have a car yet but it might make buying a manual a better choise? It would have to be a non-turbo right?

^Did you ever get your car started?

I'm going to be doing this on my 91 pretty soon. Is it doable in a day?

I pretty much have all the parts. I did need to know if the auto axles work with the manual tranny? Thanks

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll be doing this in about a month so I'll keep you all posted. I have a habit of running into problems so I'll probably be back...

Looks like some nice work there mate...
I know it might be a tad off topic, but it looks like you know what your doing when it comes to MR2's
I (Well my dad and I) just bought a 91 MK2 a couple of weeks ago, it needs a few things done to it including the gearbox being taken out and a new clutch
It's got a crunching sound when you race it into 3rd gear, but if you shift slowly it's fine.
Do you think it would be worthwhile stripping down the gearbox and fixing what i'm pretty sure is the sincro mesh, or just buying a 2nd hand gearbox?

the gear selector on the auto tranny had to be plugged in or the car wont know what gear and wont start as a safety feature.

well.... u can always try to change the oil into a good quality oil.
this was happening to me in 2nd when i was in racing mode but when driving normal everything was OK. i changed to red-line oil and everything was good again. try that. id you want if not just repair Ur tranny if you know how.

Hey does anyone know if there's a stick for doing a MK1, i kinda would guess it's all basically the same though?

Also, couldn't you connect that sensor for the clutch to the one that senses if it's in park, so that then it'll only start with the clutch in? Or would that be too much work?
