VERY MAD GUY!, Transmission Problems Options

[DJWashington]

I purchased a transmission off ebay over a month ago. Had a bad time with the company. It took forever to get here due to them not shipping it for 2 weeks after they had my money. I belive the add said "Fits 89-96 5sfe gt celica." Well, no! It didnt come with the side transmission mount. So i took my old one off and tried to put it on. It doesnt line up at all, totally different mount. Secondly, the axle's are different. They didnt remove the passenger side axle, the just cut it off about a foot away from the tranny. Just by looking at it I can tell that its different from my passenger side axle. On my tranny they just pry out, this one doesnt. Another thing is that the release bering "throw-out bearing" is'nt fiting. Its bigger than the one on my transmission. So all in all I dont think this transmission is going to work. I could maybe make my mount fit it somehow. I could use the old throw-out bearing that the new tranny has. I just dont know how I would get my axles to fit this transmission. What could I do if anything to make this transmission work? P.S. The company's name is Makota AutoParts which is located in California. NEVER buy from these people. They suck!

thanks alot guys,
Mad Guy

did you do all your homework and find out what tranny you have in your car and what car the new tranny came out of?

just because the ebay auction said it will fit a celica, dosnt mean it will be a direct replacement for your old tranny. they could have been selling an ST, mr2 or alltrac tranny.

i actually bought some items from makato whatever but never came across any problems...but ALWAYS check before bidding on ebay...when it comes to trannies and motors...most dont know what the hell they are talking about...they're just guessing since it's from another celica they gonna say it fits all...just look out next time man...good luck
