Just bought a few of these 10mm x 1.5 x 90mm CL 12.9 socket head machine screws today from Fastenal for my axel:

Since they didn't have any open bags, I had to buy the 25 pk (or wait til Monday to get the 6 I needed).

So, if anyone needs a set for their car - let me know. I'll sell them for what I paid - $.99 each (+shipping).

congrats erik!

Why is there the big gap with the gasket sealer? Did they not fit together tightly?

[Supersprynt]

Its not a gap its bearing grease oozing out when I starting to bolt them tight. You have to use alot more grease because theres a big open area inside.

Got any more letters - can I buy a vowel?

Not quite sure what your referring to. A quick Google search found Louisiana State Police, London Sailing Project, and my favorite - Lesbian Sexual Partners!

He's referring to my possible debuting of the car at the Liberty State Park meet.

Have you tried putting the axle in yet? I did the same thing but the axle was to long and the wheel hub would not bolt back up to the strut.

[scothaniel]

I also checked the urbandictionary - but I didnt think "Love Sick Puppy" applied here!

No I havent, what axle setup do you have & transmission?

I dont know why some people have a short axle problem and some don't.

[Rjb23]

I have a 91 e153 non lsd with 91 alltrac axles and 91 mr2 inners.

I was thinking of taking that spacer and getting it cut in half and put one on each side. My axles are stretched but they aren't stretched that far.

The passenger side shouldnt pop out anyway if you have the half shaft bearing and bracket attached. The driverside is what you have to worry about.

[Supersprynt]

I have 93+ tranny and 93 axles, obviously. I have to take the drivers side apart also so maybe I'll put in my other extra spacer.

I'm concerned mostly about the CV coming apart, if its stretched it can come apart easily.

Hopefully this isnt too big, I also dont know what tranny Jay is using.

1993 JDM MR2T tranny.

And by the way, its the passenger side that has the short axel problem.

i got a new short axle solution guys so pay attention,.........its a 1993 toyota celica all-trac e153 transmission with the differential cover plate off of an mr2 and the components from the tranny that go to the rear end on an all-trac removed completely and it has a cusco lsd 2 way and i am using alltrac axles and its a plug and play option, especially if you find a st205 tranny, because i needed the alltrac 93 tranny brackets and the gt mounts. i can use my stock st shift linkages.

[scothaniel]

I'm confused - can you run through that again?

The way I read it, it sounds like your converting the AWD E150F transmission to 2WD by removing the center diff and installing the MR2 diff housing plate. While that may take care of the shifter linkage, that doesn't do anything for the axels - by removing the center diff you have to add an iintermediate shaft.

[yungazzdriver]

so what your telling me is that a st185 tranny will not bolt on................it is a direct fit nothing needed to do to "make"it fit, its a direct bolt on and i forgot to mention that the ratios are different and longer than the mr2 tranny making it a better option, it has alrerady been tried out on my car and fits like it was meant to go i dont know what it is for the difference between the two whether one is a little bit longer or what it is but i know it is a direct fit and if yall want ill take pics today if i can find the transfer cable to the computer

Please learn how to type and write. It will make lots of us much happier...

If you put an MR2 diff and cover plate on an all-trac/GT4 tranny, you will have to add an intermediate shaft in place of the transfer case that was removed from tranny. The ST185 outers are a good choice (the pop into your hubs no problem...) but they may be the wrong length based on the intermediate shaft and other factors (this is where the 6gc'ers will need to chime in). But yes, you can convert your ST185 tranny (E150) to an E153 by swapping the diff.

PS. I'm using all '90 V6 Camry stuff (with MR2 axle carrier) on my ST205 motor / E153 tranny combo - but its going into my '90 Camry...
