Dear All,

I'm looking forward to own one unit as well, just got test drive a amt unit yesterday. i couldn't get use to the amt initally. however it was rather fun with having to engage clutch.

Anywhere is there 6smt mrs available in malaysia?

What are common problem we need to look out for a MRS? As an amt gear box, is there a specific type of gear oil to do regular maintenance?
*
Yes. Must use only specify SMT gear oil, but not those ATF.

2003+ model comes with 6 speed SMT.

Common problem for the SMT MRS is the pump if didn't take care of it properly.

SMT is fun, but a manual ones is even more fun.

I used to be a MRS fans, i read and learn alot from spyderchat.com which introduce by koolspyda (dennis) from ZTH forum.

Love the MRs, especially the MR2 SW20 wink.gif

Haven't really see a 6smt for sale, i wonder how much is it.

Anyway the unit which i test out was 2000/05.

the owner was asking for rm84k, i find it a little to high for year 2000 unit.

however the condition is good

still keep my fingers cross as i really wants a 6smt model.

thank you for your input, doesnt that mean MRS with smt transmission use manual gear oil would do? i was really puzzle as to what exact oil is the gear using cause as it neither manual or auto.

An 2003+ model will cost around 115k ~ 130k..

Not really worth it eh? tongue.gif

Yes you heard it right, manual gear oil. Go to JDM car service specialists like GT Auto, Trial & etc will advice you the same. Consider the SMT as manual with actuator.

For the price of 115k - 130k, that amount certainly is expensive.

i believe Jeremy O had. he moved on to (cough-cough) something 4dr 'TEC i think drool.gif hahaa

6th gear helps on highway speed such as PLUS/ long haul, even then if you are >160kmh.
rpm is lower with it.

i know of a turbo 6speed SMT MR-S whose owner spends 70% of his time in china, & hardly has the time to drive it. cond is excellent.

By any chance is it a blue ones?
