Need advise

Took the car out for a spin today with the roof off and music pumping driveing down the road as you do,i went to turn the corner and gave it a bit of gas and blew the the diff or the crown and the car was stuck i couldn't even move it more then 3-4 inches now just waiting for a tow truck the only problem is if the car cant move how can they take the car off the back ? called a few places and no one wanted to touch it ,i called twin towing and they said they will try and help me out .Cant belive this **** i only had the car for like 3 months if that ,now im wondeing what to do next i have a mechanic thats going to have a look at it 2moro i just need some advise on what should i do ? how much is it going to cost for a new diff? a mechanice told me this happens alot with mr2's

I'd just get a new E153 from Dylan and bolt that in. It'll be cheaper than having the transaxle rebuilt.
 
But even then if you're paying someone else to do it, it'll still cost quite a bit.

Im just waiting to hear back from the mechanics today i spoke to a guy that works there and he told me it sounds like the gear box or diff has broken and he also told me that they are connected together on the mr2's so if i get a new gearbox i will have to get a diff also or vise versa .He also told me im looking to spend 3000 + for the job he hasn't had a full look at it yet but he will be putting the car on the hoist later today and give it a full look over ..ill update whats wrong with the car when the mechanic calls me and lets me know the price and whats wrong with the car ... sucks that i just bought the car of a mate for 6500 cash with a few dents on the side that why i got it cheeper ,but then to be up for 3000+ would sucks big time

Have you got your a car with a mechanic who is familiar with MR2s?
If the gearbox or something inside it is stuffed just buy a used one and install that.  

In reply to just ace i had a look and its pick up only, i did msg him tho.just wondering do you think maybe getting an engine would be better ? i called toyota they wanted 7000 for a new gear box and diff lol thats silly .Im still waiting for my mechanic to call me back so im looking at diffs/gearbox's online tho i have come across an 3sgte engine for 2000 and was thinking if i were to spend the money wouldnt upgradeing the engine be better and around the same price as getting my car fixed ,what do you guys think?

depends on what you want from your sw20.
 
the beams box +shipping will set you back approx $700, will cost you about the same to swap it in and your on your way again for under 1.5k
 
if you definitely want/plan to fit a turbo motor eventually, then now is as good a time is any, but you'd need to buy a halfcut so it comes complete with engine, gearbox, wiring, shafts and hubs etc.
 
also, depending on your state laws, you may be restricted to fitting an engine of the same year or newer, so you'll look at a gen3 halfcut which will be 3.5k+, you'll then need to pay someone to do all the mechanical swapping and electrical wiring (you'll no doubt need to modify the wiring on your ems a little to run the turbo motor.) and obv retune,
 
you'd also want to freshen up the motor (timing belt, seals water pump etc)

Sorry to go off topic but are the drive shafts for a LSD E153 the same as a no LSD E153?

Thanks
I'm thinking of going the other way, LSD to non LSD
