thank you for all the answer! ... i have my tranny removed from my celica. the transmission is open in the garage...





how to calculate the gear ratio?

i think that is like that:

Count the number of teeth on the ring gear.

Count the number of teeth on the first gear.

Divide the result of your first gear counting by the result of your engine gear counting. This is your first gear's ratio.

Repeat this process for every following gear.

anyone know if it is the correct way to calculate the gear ratio???

hi i have bought a '94 Celica ST with C52 Tranny last year and I am currently changing the input shaft bearings (rear and front) because they were worn and the no.2 shift fork because because it was very worn causing 3rd gear pop-out...

i know the C52 can be found in these cars:

Toyota Celica
Toyota Corolla (E90) GTS
Toyota Starlet GT Turbo
Toyota AW11 MR2
Toyota Corolla Levin AE101 / Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE101 - early years
Geo Prizm (1990-1992)
And maybe more...

apparently all AW11 MR2 have the 4.311 Final ratio and the FWD cars can be found with both ratio: 4.311 and 3.722...

i want to know if the '94 celica have the 4.311 Final Ratio or 3.722 Final Ratio?? and how to know if i really have the 4.311 or 3.722 final ratio???

THANK YOU!

So I was driving and my oil light started blinking, few minutes later, I started hearing this weird grinding/knocking sound at high rpms so I slowed down to around 50
Then I put the car In nuetral and reved up, sane sound
I lost some power and the the car shut off,
I thought I ran out of gas so I filled few gallons in (I luckily stoped in front of a shell)
Started it up and hears LOUD squeaking along with the knock,


lol ... u make me laugh a LOT!

you thought you ran out of gas... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

lol having the same issue with my car... finally u just need to tap it with a long flat screwdriver and a hammer from under the car

you must tap here:

worn input shaft bearing... you need to remove and open the tranny to change the front and rear input shaft bearing.. i have the same issue and my ST tranny (C52) is open on the floor of my garage ... if you have some puller and a press you can do that in two days... i have some pics if you want just let me know
