MR2 Short Ratio Gearbox Build

[@dannyDC2]

No I didn't find the circlip BTW I have a new nut for the shaft so will split it again to be double sure before sealing it off :)

[@rob1984p]

"excuse the Parkinsons, it's heavy" ha. I'd just about recovered from that when the Exxon Valdez disaster occurred on your bench.

[@Retrobeemer]

Glad it wasn't just me with thoughts of the Exxon Valdez!

[@Weimerica8841]

Haven't laughed this hard in a while, thanks for that

[@coldshoulder4056]

That intro tho.... Fire!

[@JamesChurchill3]

You're getting pretty good at hammering on these boxes now, good stuff lad.

[@ModFix]

What an intro mate . Cracking job 🔥🔥🔥

[@FATDAVE3000]

love the intro lol. Stay well.

[@mil3486]

that lad does love him drum and bass and rebuilding his "girbocks"

[@b0nb0nn0bn0b]

I never comment on videos but the first 30 seconds has my sides in knots. Had to send it to the SHG group chat to make sure they got their laugh too.

[@jordanbidmead6918]

that intro is brilliant

[@tomking6914]

If all else fails you could work as an audio editor, intro is great! Very Pink Floyd money but with hammers 😎

[@twarken5078]

Nice work Dan lad, top job on the editing as well - looking forward to seeing how it performs on track 👍

[@vinnyvtec8722]

Is it just me or was changing gears from the box super satisfying? It was like a slick rifle bolt with a satisfying clunk every time. Good job Dan.

[@frederickschulze8014]

Yeah, helps you understand why honda civic si shifters feel so good in comparison lol

Gr8 start to the weekend Dan dropping a new vid and the comments section is as always 👌🏼

[@imustbepsychic.]

that intro. i applaud

[@Sloppyclock]

Killer intro

[@spiltmilkmaniac]

Can't wait to hear that intro in a tekno remix somewhere/time...

[@GarryMcGovern]

Hmmm, your reaction to the growing pool of oil was just a wee bit different to mine, when the same thing happened to me while faffing about with my 205 GTi gearbox. I think I told it I would 'See You Next Tuesday' while prefacing that with accusations of 'Ducking' (or something that sounded similar!). Ahhh...... the joys!! 😂

[@Falcone357]

Hello Danny ! Awesome vid man, Where did you buy your extractor tool to remove the 5th gear? I've bought alot of garbage tools on Amazon etc to remove those damn gears and none of them does the job. Not enough steady Nor enough thin to catch the gear... 🙄

[@duncanajpv8]

Thoroughly enjoyable that.

[@mohammeda4630]

Great Video , I have Celica track car with the c60 gearbox. Third gear synchro failed. Should I get it reconditioned or just source a 2nd hand box? Also heard you can add the MR2 LSD to it, is it worth it? Please let me know thanks in advanced.

[@whoisgoogle]

Yes Dan

[@quicknickdriver8510]

The intro was very Dark Side. Nice slick shift action at the end 👍🏻

[@quest8795]

Nice. Wish my gearbox rebuilds went this well 😂

[@aarongraham7177]

So did we find said clip that was feared missing in action?

[@frederickschulze8014]

Do you like the 5 speed better than the c60 for racing? I have a 2zz mr2 with c60, and i never use the 6th gear on track anyways (and rarely ever 5th)

[@dannyDC2]

its just lighter yeah

[@frederickschulze8014]

@@dannyDC2 Yeah I know some guys like to go c60 and 4.9 fd but it just seems like added weight for equal-ish performance. If/when my c60 dies, probably going to c56 with your fd 👍

[@benripley7596]

Cheers

[@hughconsitt9526]

Great vid that!

[@hibatos182]

Top work 👌

[@Retrobeemer]

I'm ok with taking stuff apart. It's the rebuilding them I struggle with. Anyway, thanks for distracting me from replacing a bit of fuel line on my 535i that's a proper bitch to access.

[@k.townend]

Got a couple of them bearings in the loft, do a shout-out if you're missing gearbox shit in future! I've also got 3rd, 4th and 6th with a FD from a C64 knocking about

[@djfrankieflowers]

Anyone can tell me if MR2 LSD driveshafts are the same length as the Corolla Levin non LSD driveshafts?

[@diogenesagogo]

Did you ever find that darn circlip?

[@LupinYonderboy]

I'd love a shorter final drive on my 2ZZ so I can get above 6k more often and not hit 60mph in second. Don't have the space or knowledge to do this kind of work though

[@letsdrivecars]

Thought I was watching Mike Oldfield In Dulci Jubilo at the start

[@peterh1386]

How long before the helicoils come out?

[@dannyDC2]

They're always on stand by

[@GetTheFOutOfMyWay]

I think ya missed ur callin with that intro mate. lol

[@jimmyb1460]

Tires from Spaced would've loved that intro...

[@dannyDC2]

Good show

[@Chris-sq1ih]

The oil spill 🤣🤣🤣

[@MidEngineMadness]

How long did that intro take lol

[@chrisandwillhobbies]

marty t top content

[@dannyDC2]

Yeah proper

[@samster978]

lol that intro

[@fbDrakon21fb]

Wouldn't it be better to go with the c60 from the celica? shorter final drive+6th gear

[@dannyDC2]

What's the FD there? 6th gear is pointless unless it's like >5 lol Just looked it up, 4.5 would be better yeah, but we can only use 3.9 or 4.3 in the MR2 championship

[@lomfmur]

@@dannyDC2 Obviously it's been a while but you can use/there were (not sure tbh) C60's with the 3.9 AND 4.3 final drive. Monkeywrench racing sells 'em

[@AmirPomen]

I would keep ukspec 1st,2nd and 3rd... Then jdm 4th and 5th... That way u have longer 3rd and super close into 4th which will boost high end acceleration

[@dannyDC2]

1,2, and 5 are the same

[@yardspeed13]

We all want to know…Did you find the circ’clip? 😬😃

[@dannyDC2]

Lol no, I think I will split it again to be sure

[@yardspeed13]

@@dannyDC2 gutted, well if it makes you feel any better I had to pull my mini engine out again just to faff with a crank sensor bracket. Mucho ball ache

That's what happens when you use things, they require maintenance. Racing is tough on cars. Please learned yourself.
