You are correct.

St205 left insulator and bracket. (Bracket is no longer available from toyota)

St205 rear bracket and insulator. Only way its going to work w/o going custom

Gt front and right side insulators+brackets. The fronts are actually indentical on both models but have different part numbers.

You can use your gt shifter cables but you'll need some thicker u clips to hold them into place. I'll post some pics of mine when I can be bothered.

When I last checked with toyota Aust. they wanted AU$600 for the 205 cable set.

It only takes a week to get driveline parts in from japan to Australia through toyota because they take priority over cosmetic or body parts, surely it must be the same to the U.S. They'll either tell you up to 3-4 weeks because a. they can be bothered getting them for you or b) just in case the japs are having one of those crazy holiday periods or strikes that go on for weeks at the shipping ports.

While on the topic of Axles I really want to clarify what people have actually used. I've tried using several setups but only one so far has worked. I would like everyone thats done the conversion to state what they've used.

Nothing is more time wasting or annoying than people giving rubbish suggestion or advice because they heard a friend may or may have not used this or that succesfully. Or just going by rumours.

It really needs to cleared up and put in a proper How-to.

I've got a '92 mr2 e153 with lsd, I'm using a middle (the w/ the carrier) shaft with a diameter of 31.3mm no circlip (I think all years are same), 185 outers and 92+ (Lsd) inner stub. I'm having concerns with the way the cvs are stretched atm and will try using a longer in the future.

(Because I only have experience with models available to Aust. and jap imports the following only refers to jdm mr2 e153s)

From all the time spent looking at the toyota Australia's parts finder program, the left inner stub changed from jan 92. They only have one part n# listed for later models there is no reference to lsd or non-lsd. Models produced dec 91 or earlier have the same part no as all camry v6 manuals boxes.


The early model inner left stub is the one with the circlip roughly 7mm from the end. This one is available in abundance in Aust. so most ignorant wreckers think there is only one type.

The Late model is the one with the circlip roughly 20mm from the end.


If anyone knows anymore or any better than this please let us all know so We can put an end to these axle questions
