How to: axle spacer on 3sgte swap, using hybrid axles on e153 tranny Options

[diegohiga]

I realized that there is no much info about this spacer and I thought this might be helpfull for some people using e153 tranny on their swap.

I used lsd mr2 inners and st185 outters

If you bolt the mr2 inners to the tranny and st185 to the hub you will have a gap of about 1/2 inches in the middle of the 2 axles.


The spacerr was made out of the mr2 axle. This is the piece you remove from the mr2 axle to make the hybrid one.


You need to cut this section which measures exactly 1/2 inch


Then take the spacer to a machine shop to make the surface flat and flush



Mount it to the st185 axle



And get longer bolts and you are ready to install it

What did you use to cut the hard steel? I took the axle to a machine shop and he couldn't cut it

I used a grinder, used a wheel for metal. It takes some time to do it but it cuts it. Then take it to the machine shop to leave the surface even
