For people that are interested in running the MR2T tranny in their swap, you may have noticed many people claiming that their axel pops out because it is too short. Different combinations of inners and outters have been tried with sporatic results. So, for kicks, I took a look at mine to see what was done on the passenger side. Guess, what? When Jamasco did mine, they added a second "thicker section" (sorry I don't know the name of this piece). And then used longer studs to connect the two sections together. Looks OEM and I have had no problems. I will take some pics if anyone is interested.

I know I have MR2T inners but I never did find out what the outters were. People have had the "short axel" problem with both ST185 and Camry V6 outters though. I would imagine those are the same or VERY close. I will try to get some pics for you guys this weekend.

So basically what your saying is that between the inner and outter 1/2 shafts Jamasco placed a sort of "spacer" or "gasket" w/extended bolts.
Would you be able to inquire about this to them? See if they could either reproduce it for sale, give out a part # or maybe even do the work if an axle was sent to them? I have passenger side axle problems as we speak (ST185/MR2T combo). I have an OEM LSD inner with a TRD LSD so I think thats the problem but it could only be part. Thanks Jay. -------------------- |

The "spacer" as you call it is really just the same part of another axel. I believe it is the end of the outter but I am not sure. Its the piece that is significantly wider than the axel shaft which is midway between the tranny and the hub on the passenger side.

It was a joke (hence the smily face). I apologize if it offended you.

 Anyway, that's sweet. Pics would be great. Not like I am doing it also, but the more I know, the better.
