Diagnosing the Inner Steering Rack Bushing on an AW11 | Ep. 6
Trying out a new format for this one.
Tag along with me as I diagnose a clunk in the front end of the AW11.
I pry on stuff, make conjectures, rattle some things, and eventually find the actual problem that I didn't really want to accept.
(spoiler: it's the inner steering rack bushing)

AW11 Shift Cable Bearing, Shift Cup, Shifter Base Bushing Install | Episode 5
Переглядів 4 тис.5 років тому
Welcome back everyone! In this episode, I tell you where the hell I've been, what's going on with the car, and maybe even get some work done. Aluminum base bushings, a new shift cup, and some shifter bearing ends, all good stuff that really improves the feel and feedback of your AW11, all of which I highly suggest. Thanks for your patience with the videos, especially as I try out some new audio...
Save Your MR2 From the Scrap Heap | Ep. 4
Переглядів 6245 років тому
Join me as I clean a small forest out of the fender of my 1985 MR2. A common spot on the AW11 chassis for rust is directly in front of the doors at the bottom of the fenders. That's because Toyota put a giant damn pocket in there to catch all manner of debris. Here is how to clean it out. If not for you, for the children. Do it for the children.
AW11 MR2 Gauge Cluster Lamp Swap | EP 3
Переглядів 3,9 тис.5 років тому
Join me on an adventure of cracked Toyota plastic, very carefully tightening screws, and trying to stick my hands where they don't fit, as I swap out the terrible blue LED's for a much more 80's set of standard incandescent bulbs because these cars were built correctly originally.

C52 Repair : Survey the Damage and Make the Internet Upset | EP 2
Переглядів 8205 років тому
In the second and final episode (first episode here: ua-cam.com/video/-kWQKyH1pb4/v-deo.html) of the C52 repair, I survey the damage, get it all cleaned out, give the transmission some more holes, and likely disgruntle the internet. Enjoy! Oh and also, everything works great. 1988 BGB: manual.teq.org/ Permatex "The Right Stuff": amzn.to/2Spfwsm JB Weld: amzn.to/2DOhfQ4
C52 Repair : Breaking and Entering | Ep 1
Переглядів 2,5 тис.5 років тому
In the first episode of the C52 repair, I pull the transmission out of the car, separate the transmission between the bellhousing and the main case, and also start to understand why Toyota says not to do it this way. 1988 BGB (among others): manual.teq.org/ Thanks for you patience on the audio, still getting the hang of things! And thanks for watching! Second episode: ua-cam.com/video/45mtD-0r9...
Great video. Have you had any issues with the dash lights not illuminating with the headlights on? I repaired my dimmer switch wheel (it just spun forever) but the interior lights still won’t come on.
Yo thanks so much for this video. Got my shit all fixed up thanks to you.
I wish I had found this sooner, thanks for posting!
Subbed and liked, also from the PNW. Maybe I'll see you at the coast MR2 meet up in september!
Very helpful series. Really hope you return to making these soon
My trim is getting caught on something and i cant see it. Trying to get headlight switch out but the trim is stuck. Any ideas?
There's two cables going to the transmission, so you need two bearings not just one...
Nice. Do you (or anyone) know what size bulb for the defroster switch? It's much smaller.
So I would need 7 of the 194 bulb to replace all of the dash, and 5 of the smaller 74 bulb to replace the 5 smaller ones at the bottom right? All of the bulbs went out in my dash so I just want to make sure I am ordering the correct parts
Great video. Did spherical bushings make any difference with the car moving on the road? If sitting still it would be hard to get the full story since some gears wont engage easily depending on alignments between things in the stationary gear-box etc...
You gotta take the cap off the top of the trans first. The. Remove 5th gear. Then you can separate the case my guy
There are a couple more screws that anchor the trim piece with the headlight switch and whatnot on the mk1b than what is shown here. There are 2 more at the corners closest to where you're sitting in the driver's seat. Basically, if things aren't moving with nice, easy tugs then you may have missed something. Take it slow. I just broke part of that piece that sits above the dash that you lift out toward you so it really doesn't take much.
Awesome video 👏
Great video, thanks. I've got an 89 SC and I need to check my gauge bulbs. I don't drive it a lot at night anymore but this was a good guide for replacing any bulbs that might need it. I've never had the gauge cluster out before.
my 89 literally just did the same thing, this is godsend
Why stop to have new video updates? Great video you make
We need more of your videos!
Very helpful video!
Love both of these videos man, thank you so much for showing a different side of doing it, and thinking.
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Zain Nelson Instablaster ;)
@Tomas Leland i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Tomas Leland it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Zain Nelson You are welcome =)
Where are you sir, we need more videos.
I think i got lucky with my MR2 trim, Mint green gauge bulbs like in the ae85/86, and a lot of the GT options except for the supercharger and T-tops. Im slowly piecing together al the different options there were for the first gen
Thank you!
Would u happen to know how to change the guage color from yellow to white? Other than that great video man! Keep up the aw11 love!!!
If you wanted to go white, you'd need to go with LEDs. There isn't really an actually white incandescent bulb, they all have a naturally yellowish tint.
@@800squarefeet5 please, what type of bulb should we order? thx!!
@@DiegoRodriguezAW11 194
amazing work tnx so much!! really helpfull
Great videos, I hope we can have more of this type of videos in the future.
Thanks so much, you help us alot
Congratulations for your new 👶,nice 🎥 thanks you so much
Cool. I have your car's twin with the black rear wing. It's making the exact same noise. I got new moog inner and outer tie rods with new bellows and this bushing ready to install this weekend. Instagram @jessetheshaffer
Just watching your video to see if I can figure out where the detent ball goes that fell out when I took my trans apart.. watching you look at your ring gear.. I've taken apart 2 C5X transmissions now and both of them have the same grooves on the ring gear. Maybe you already know this by now :)
Hey good to know! I wonder what that's about? Lubrication channels?
@@800squarefeet5 Must be. As an update.. has your reverse selector come off and destroyed your trans yet? :) I've fought this thing for 3 hours tonight.. I just can't see how it'll happen.
Thanks for the video friend. I’m going to subscribe to your channel! If you’re interested in promoting your videos go and check ZMSocial(dot)com, it is a great way to get your videos higher in the search results.
wonderful intro music
I also have a clunk from the right side of the car. Thanks for the video, now I know what it looks like, if i have the same problem. Would you make a video about the repair?
Glad it helped! Yep, I'll make a video of the repair. Stay tuned!
800 Square Feet hey it’s been 3 months, hows it going)? Hope all is well
I would love to see a video on that damn headlight switch problem that makes the pop-ups go crazy.
Damn, I've never had a problem in years of ownership with these cars, what happens?
they begin to play whac-a-mole
It's great to find another Aw11 maintenance channel. Around 10 USD will get you a Borescope camera that connects to a smartphone and takes stills and video. Most have their own light, hook, mirror and magnet attachments.
Great content man. Not many people in the aw11 community making videos. Love it!
Hey thanks for stopping by and having a watch! Any requests?
Amazing content! Very indepth and professional
Thanks Hank! Appreciate you checking out the channel. Any request on what to see next?
@@800squarefeet5 Not at the moment, my alternator went out for the second time this morning. I have a 20v and I'm afraid the alt positive is hitting the stock intake
Thanks for the quality content, mate
Thanks!
Looking forward to the next video! my MR2 has a terrible Macco paint job on it. Black to white... Probably done 20 years ago
Keep up these videos man, with the level of effort put into these youll blow up in no time. I'm getting an aw11 in about a month and i watched your whole channel to hold me over! Hence i cant wait to see more of your vids
Thanks James, we just added a new Human to our family so things have been very busy around here, but hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. Stay tuned!
Love it love the mr2 good work
Very helpfully ty. Thought i had done something wrong when I tried to pull the bell housing. Thanks for pointing out that I needed to unbolt something inside. Wierd design on this trans
Yea it's a funky setup. Technically, Toyota doesn't want you to do it this way, but, as you see, it can be done!
Just got a aw11 mk1b na. Trying to fit a lsd to it. Keep the vids coming!
Love the series man! In the market for one of these currently. Such a shame where I live in the North East these cars pretty much don't exist. Any advice for a first time buyer of an aw11?
Hey sorry for the slow reply, we just added a new member to the family (a human this time) so things have been a little wild. As for advice, hard to say these days, a clean chassis at a reasonable price used to be easy to find, now not so much. I'd say the usual "old car stuff", check for rust, unibody damage, severe crash repair, etc. Specific to AW11's? Be sure of what you want, and where you want the car to be. There are few greater things than taking the T Tops out and going for a rip, but maybe you want something more track focused and prefer a hardtop? It's getting much, much harder to find quality interior components, and other stock replacement parts, so buy the cleanest one that you can, and treat the plastic very carefully. The most important piece of advice I can give however? Make sure you buy one that you WANT to drive. The joy of these cars is using them, feeling what Toyota was in the 80's, and you can't do that looking at a pristine example that you are too afraid to drive out of the garage. My 85 has it's fair share of bumps and bruises, it's a clean car, but the slight amount of wear helps me push the rarity of these cars out of my mind and just enjoy the drive.
Do you have videos on how to remove front / rear bumper skin ?
I don't, I've not had to remove them myself. But, my front bumper does have some paint damage, so maybe at some point.
Thanks !!
