This Replacement Mechanical Speed Sensor is a drop-in plug and play speedometer solution for 1990-1992 Toyota MR2s with E153 transmission (factory turbo transmission). This solution eliminates the clunky original system utilizing a complex 90 degree worm gear system with a much simpler direct straight shot setup and does not require any modifications at all. This also potentially fixes speedometer "flickering or juddering", speedometer not consistent etc
The 1990-1992 MR2s mechanical speedometer system utilizes 2 speedometer cables which are combined into one (connection at under the middle of the car) and connects directly to the back of your gauge cluster and the bolt on assembly on the transmission that this product page is for. Please check those 2 cables and your gauge cluster with a drill first before installing our kit (use drill to spin cables).
This kit replaces a sharp 90 degree transition (the purpose of the old 80s clunky original 90 degree gear unit) which was used to create less bends in the speedometer cable routing. We now use a heavy duty new OEM Toyota Denso angled transition piece. This method will bolt right up to oem speedometer cable to our new aluminum sleeve without any modifications.
If you are installing a turbo transmission (E153) into your 1991-1992 MR2, this is the mechanical speed sensor you need to hook up to your existing speedometer cable. This will enable your speedometer to work if you swapped a turbo engine into your NA MR2. You will receive a complete assembled unit comprised of original parts "A, B, C, D"
DO NOT START CUTTING UP YOUR GAUGE CLUSTER WIRING TRYING TO GET THE ELECTRIC SPEEDOMETER TO WORK IN YOUR 90-92 MR2. Buy this correct part for a trouble free installation!
Fitment:
1987-1992 Toyota MR2 (tested on SW20s, not on AW11s yet)
1988-1991 Toyota Camry
1988-1993 Toyota Celica
1988-1993 Toyota Corolla
Tested to work with E153 transmissions from a MR2 (the factory MR2 turbo transmission, not for Non Turbo S54 transmissions!). This is a mechanical speedometer sensor and is not the same sensor used in 1993+ and newer MR2s (electric system). Works with both LSD and non LSD as well as newer E153s, assuming you want to swap from electrical back to mechanical
Upon designing our solution, we noticed our solution may also work on other Toyotas which we have not tested or verified. Please do your own homework, look at the pictures and decide for yourself. There are no returns on this part
