well driving home on the mass pike i just cruising at 70mph in 5th gear at 3.5k rpm. when all of a sudden my RPM raises without me even touching the gas and now i down shift like wtf. and yeah every gear my car doesnt move. the clutch doesnt sound like it engageing at all. woo to pulling the motor again to find the problem.
first ill check thing like the slave cylinder ect. but im so confused cause i dont hear any moving parts when i shif an let the clutch out. i cant feel anyhting in the pedal at all. /rant ps this sucks.

im hoping my clutch setup is ok and that my flywheel bolt havent sheared off or worse.

in that other thread in the n/a forum, someone has e56 with SS setup, so it might not be possible, or atleast without a suspension swap

Superstruts and McPherson setups are interchangable. I've had both setups on my car without changing the axels.

Just for reference, here are my recent experiences:

First, I fit the ST205 trans & axels into my ST185 - perfect fit.

Next I put an MR2 tranny with LSD and the MR2/185 axel combo into the 96 Celica ST. The result was the short RH axel talked about in other threads, but the axels fit fine when extended. This means that the 185/205/202 axles are interchangable in regards to the hub (ST and GT - same hub).

Then I thought, maybe the superstut suspension would fix the short axel. Swapped the 205's suspension and sub-frame over. No difference (verified with calipers). This means that the superstrut and McPherson setups and interchangable.

So, this leads me to believe that we can swap between C series (Celica ST), S Series, and E series transmissions providing we use the right axels.

I've heard some of the 205 rally guys swap out the superstruts with the standard McPherson setups for reliablity. Superstruts are absolutely great on street/track, but aren't durable enough for rally courses.
