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  --------------------  |

Thanks and yes it can be installed without the spacer but the axle gets streched about 1/2 inch and the cage from the st185 ends up coming out and breaking it (sometimes) And if you lower the car I believe it stretches more and the cage breaks faster, which happened to me after 1 month after the swap. -------------------- |

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

It takes some time to do it but it cuts it. Then take it to the machine shop to leave the surface even -------------------- |

K great thanks....also maybe this is a stupid question but if you need the mr2 inner...how are you cutting it up? I thought I used the left over parts to make it the 1/2 inch spacer
