vh-101, which MR2 gear box are you using first? and the issue could be as simple as changing the oil or crunch gears. Personally i too had a third gear issue when i first bought my car, the problem? my clutch springs.

maybe is the clutch problem or gear oil level to low (3s-gte gear box actual need 4.2liter is more than normal car 2-3liter)

4.2l is when u completely drain all out kosong kosong until no oil inside.... i change my gear oil the other day around 3.1 liter.....

 

[bb race]

why you don't drain out all the oil n give a new oil in the gear box any reason?

 

[vh-101]

The 3SGTE version is those 1st version of 3SGTE, just after 4AG those version..

If its a MR2 3SGTE from a gen one it does not have LSD (i'm quite sure) so most trans. oil will do. But for me personally i only use Motul oil... :-)

 

[tom's]

if u drain the oil from the drain plug......there is still oil inside....unless u open the whole gearbox out.....hahahaha

Eneos is the name of the Japan giant lube company, they also have a motor accessories supermarket here. Redline is another brand from US.
