For people that are interested in running the MR2T tranny in their swap, you may have noticed many people claiming that their axel pops out because it is too short. Different combinations of inners and outters have been tried with sporatic results. So, for kicks, I took a look at mine to see what was done on the passenger side. Guess, what? When Jamasco did mine, they added a second "thicker section" (sorry I don't know the name of this piece). And then used longer studs to connect the two sections together. Looks OEM and I have had no problems. I will take some pics if anyone is interested.

I know I have MR2T inners but I never did find out what the outters were. People have had the "short axel" problem with both ST185 and Camry V6 outters though. I would imagine those are the same or VERY close.

I will try to get some pics for you guys this weekend.

So basically what your saying is that between the inner and outter 1/2 shafts Jamasco placed a sort of "spacer" or "gasket" w/extended bolts.

Would you be able to inquire about this to them? See if they could either reproduce it for sale, give out a part # or maybe even do the work if an axle was sent to them? I have passenger side axle problems as we speak (ST185/MR2T combo). I have an OEM LSD inner with a TRD LSD so I think thats the problem but it could only be part.

Thanks Jay.

The "spacer" as you call it is really just the same part of another axel. I believe it is the end of the outter but I am not sure. Its the piece that is significantly wider than the axel shaft which is midway between the tranny and the hub on the passenger side.

Perhaps you would like me to take a dump for you too?

i been trying to figure this out myself but like you said all the answers are either vauge or sporatic, nothing too solid.

Looks like they removed the CV housing from another axle and bolted it in.

CV housing huh? I was wondering what that was called. I am surprised that putting those two pieces together fit so snuggly - it almost looks like one piece. Anyone else have any comments on this?

No, given that its not an issue with their cars, I doubt it would get that much response. However, anyone that is interested in the info has my permission to post the pictures on whatever forums they want.

I have a spare set I can take some pics of.

There is one thing that troubles me about the picture. If they did indeed bolt a second CV housing between the inner shaft and outer axle, how would this effect the compressed axle length?

The inner shaft has a domed surface where the outer bolts up, which could act as a stop to keep the axle from over compressing. If the middle housing is hollow, then the axle could compress an extra an or so.

I think pics would help describe what I'm trying to say!

can you please find out from what car did they get those spacer.

i would assume it would come from another MR2 axel...since it would just bolt in, they seem to be they same thickness
