  1. A transmission specialist may be the best course of action as they can advise if it is a warranty issue which you can address with the dealership or if it just needs a fluid and filter change then they should be able to carry this out at a cheaper cost then the dealer

  2. Maybe worth checking that any rubber stabilizer mounts on the engine/transmission are in good order
    If there is too much lateral movement on the engine/transmission when the power is applied then this can sometimes knock gears out of position.  
    Worth checking before opening up the gearbox

  3. The early MR2 is becoming more popular over the years and can imagine there will be quite a bit of interest in it
    Maybe worth advertising it on one of the MR2 social media sites as the biggest following for this model will be on there

  4. It looks like this function has been locked off

    The instruction sheet seems to state that the dealer can override certain functions.
    Maybe worth dropping by your local dealer just to ask the question as there may be a backdoor to opening up this submenu

  5. You could try an 'Air Con Bomb' which is like a smoke grenade

    Keep windows up and turn vents to recirculation and fan on high
    Fire up the Air Con Bomb (or similar) and allows it to circulate the smoke which kills off bacteria in the ventilation system

    Although I am surprised that it would have bacteria causing smell inside the vehicle at that age but worth giving it a try for $10

  6. Hi Guys and Gals !

  7. I would imagine that if the tire wear is on the inside of the tread then this is down to excessive toe-out on the steering

    This may be caused by worn suspension components and it is definitely worth checking for wear or broken components to assure there is nothing dangerous occurring there.
    However, for the wear to be even on both from tires does not sound like a singular failed component and that both side failed at the same rate (possible but not probable) suggests to me that it is just plain old wheel alignment needed.

    Take the truck elsewhere and get them to measure it and show you the results before committing to expensive and unnecessary repairs
