Tranny/Clutch Issues Options

[3sgte@daspeedof]

So I waited on my mr2 tranny, I got the alltrac shifter cables & axles, I go to install everything, and I get the tranny bolted to the block, the passenger side engine mount is in, all the wires are hooked back up. I have the intermediate shaft hooked up, and I go to install the shifter cables before I go any further, and it won't shift into 1st, 3rd, 5th, or reverse.

So what I want to know is
1. If the front & rear mount are not hooked up will it cause the tranny to be so far out of place that I can't put it into those gears.
2. My clutch pedal won't move an inch is there something I'm missing or forgetting to do what would cause my clutch pedal to not move like that.

I dont think 5th gen cables will work.

1. Maybe, hook up the mounts. Also, you may need to use either the ST205 or GT cables.

2. Something's not right but I can't help with that from here.

you might wanna try installing all the mounts,
His car is a 5th gen by the way.
your stock cables should work but not 100 % sure

I went and got alltrac cables, so my issue is that they might not be alltrac shifter cables or that they are from a 4th gen celica or alltrac.

I'm going to bleed my clutch and see if there is any improvement, I know it was moving before I hooked up the tranny, but that's not moving now.

Oh, I assumed you had a 6gc cuz well, its 6gc.net. Alltrac cables should work.

You did swap the MR2 levers with Alltrac ones right?

Yes I did swap all of that hardware over, from the alltrac to the mr2.

Have you tried moving the linkage by hand to make sure they at least move by themselves.

lol, you must think I'm an idiot, I'm really not, I did the swap my self, I have hooked up the cables to the shifter linkage, and left them unhooked from the shifter in the cabin, I can shift through the gears, but when I put the cables onto the shifter they are about 10 milimeters too short, to put it into gear.
