Mr-s smt

[azzuraz]

Hi guys, recently I notice leaks from my gear shift actuator and after searching through the forum, the only solution seems to be replacing the part. Does the part cost RM5,500 or is there any other alternative? Does anyone know where I can get the SMT oil?

Is is a feasible option to convert to manual gear instead? Anyone selling a 6 speed manual gear, and how much?

Can the 6 speed manual gear for 2zz-ge engine for celica be use on the MR-S?

Thanks.

Yes, the C64 6 Speed transmission from 2zz-ge Celica will works on the MR-S..
Since the transmission is for a car with the engine at the other end, u will need to change the shifter shaft, shifter cables..

Correct me if i'm wrong :D

like victor said, you need to change the shifter shaft of the celica 6 speed manual gear box & because yours is SMT the top levers on the G boxs cant be flipped over. (only a manual gear box). Btw shifter shaft is not cheap, & the 6 speed g box is rare. gear ratio on celica 6 speed is shorter than MR-S 6 speed. (officially in japan & europe [not US] from 2003 onwards MR-S had 6 speed)

Its easier if you have a manual MR-S instead, to convert to 2zz g box.

Yes, one CAN convert SMT to Manual. 5-6 local SMT owners has gone manual. I think one of them is on this board too. 4 were done in Sgbesi.

lots of info posted on SC or search my nick on other sites. cheers

if i'm not mistaken.
MR-S 5 speed = C56
MR-S 6 speed = C64
celica 2zz 6 speed = C60

(too many info achieved in my HD, dont know to search)

You can get the shifter shaft from LittleRocket which is a member from Spyderchat.com

Thou, the shaft is not cheap as what kool has told.

C56 = 5 Speed
MR-S 6 speed MT is C60, not C64....
C64 only used on 2ZZ Celica, Lotus Elise & Exige
C65M = 03+ SMT 6 Speed Transmission.

Hey kool, is it true that C60 cant handle above 300+whp? Some said the 3rd gear and Final Drive will break...

there are known chaps with >300hp with 6speed that hasnt failed.

As they mention, if one likes to drag race, wheel hop starts, stress the tranny, yes all this contributes to accelaration failure of the 6speed Gbox. If one plan to do drag, stick to 5 speed g box

But is the 2ZZ can be mate with the C60 5 Speed Manual??
If i'm not mistaken, a 2zz swap require a 6speeder? is that true??

both bell housing mates to engine. its the 'Z' series remember.

forcing shifts will likely to see some gear go faster; if it goes likely the 3 gear scyncros for 1zz, & 2 gear for 2zz.

most chaps cant invest into doggears for tracking.

its just the gear ratios that help bring the best "out" of 2zz. drag guys keep it with 5 spd. cheaper for them.

checked wiki, ?? I'm pretty sure celica zzt231 2zz is C60. thats what was taken out of the salvage celica. housing shows. C56 is 5 spd

Dear sifus,

I just bought a used mrs and noticed that my smt oil is slightly lower than the min level... i have been looking around but cant find any SMT OIL in the market.

Can anyone please advise me. Appreciate very much in advance.

Also, Where do all sifus send your car for service?

BTW, i would also like to find out which is the best shop/mechanic to go if want to convert from smt to manual in future. read from old thread that a few went to sg besi but i couldnt find the name of the shop. Can all sifus please provide me with 2 options??
