Fixes speedometer not working issues, speedometer "flickering or juddering", speedometer not consistent etc
Introducing our all new drop in plug and play speedometer solution for 91-92 Toyota MR2s with E153 transmission (factory turbo transmission). Our 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.
The 91-92 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). We offer both replacement cables here if needed.
As our 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 have 2 optional methods for solely this purpose. You only need one of the two, or you can also run without either of the 2 mentioned solutions, but your speedometer cable will have a relatively tight bend radius which may shorten cable lifespan and may affect performance.
First optional solution we offer is adding a 3rd speedometer cable to lengthen the oem speedometer cable and allow for a more relaxed bend radius instead of a sharper one caused by oem speedometer cable being short on length. Our speedometer cable is self lubricating. No need to lube.
Second optional solution is using 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. The downside is this piece is its difficult and expensive to obtain. This piece is well built and offers the highest performance
Third solution, which we highly do not recommend, is to run without either of the 2 above mentioned solutions and just plug your existing speedometer cable right to the new aluminum sleeve, but your speedometer cable will have a relatively tight bend radius to make that 90 degree turn which may shorten cable lifespan & performance.

Fitment
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
1988-1991 Toyota Camry
1988-1993 Toyota Celica
1988-1993 Toyota Corolla
1987-1992 Toyota MR2 (tested on SW20s, not on AW11s yet)
Notes
Please test your existing 2 speedometer cables and gauge cluster with a drill first to verify those parts are in good working order before installing our kit. We offer both replacement cables here if needed.

If an item is In Stock, it is ready to ship and will be packaged and sent out as quickly as possible.
Because many of our products are produced in limited quantities, popular items can sell out between production runs. With production and manufacturing lead times often ranging from 1-3+ months, unexpected demand can quickly deplete available and planned inventory, and waiting for future production runs may mean missing one—or even multiple—batches and facing a significant delay.
Pre-Orders help us accurately gauge demand and plan production quantities while allowing customers to secure their spot & receive their parts in a timely manner. This helps reduce delays and the chances of products selling out unexpectedly, while ensuring we can continue bringing more specialized products to the community.
Not all pre-orders are the same. Depending on the product, a pre-order may be for an existing product that is temporarily sold out or a new product that is still in development.
The product page will provide the most current estimated fulfillment timeline and any relevant project details.
Restock Pre-Orders — Existing Products
Many of our products are produced in limited quantities, and popular items can sell out between production runs.
If an existing product is sold out, we may open a pre-order for the next production batch. These products have already been developed and produced previously, but additional manufacturing time is required before the next batch is ready.
Pre-ordering secures your place in the next production run and ensures you don’t miss the next available batch.
Development Pre-Orders — New Products
Some pre-orders are for completely new products that are still being developed.
Developing a new product is a significant process. Depending on the complexity of the project, it may involve:
Product design and engineering
Prototyping and testing
Tooling and mold development
Fitment and quality/mold revisions
Manufacturing preparation
Final production and quality control
A single product can take 3 months to over a year to fully develop before it is ready for regular production.
During this process, prototypes, molds, fitment, or manufacturing methods may require revisions. If we identify an issue that does not meet our standards, we may need to make corrections before moving forward with production.
This can occasionally extend the estimated timeline, but we believe it is better to correct an issue before shipping rather than rush a product to customers that does not meet our standards.
We always aim to provide the best estimated timeline available at the time a pre-order is listed.
However, estimated dates are not guaranteed. Manufacturing schedules can change, and development projects may require additional time for prototyping, revisions, production, or quality control.
We do not believe in rushing production simply to meet a projected date.
Before a product ships, it must go through the appropriate manufacturing, finishing, fitment, and quality control processes to ensure it meets our standards.
If there are any significant changes to the estimated timeline, we will provide pre-order customers with updates as information becomes available.
Good products take time. We'd rather get it right than get it out fast.
Our goal is to continue supporting the MR2 community by developing new and unique products that may not otherwise exist.
Pre-orders and group buys allow us to better determine demand and commit to larger production quantities. Larger manufacturing orders can help reduce per-unit production costs, allowing us to pass a portion of those savings directly on to our customers while also helping fund the development of future products.
By participating in a pre-order, you are not only securing your product—you are also helping make new projects possible.
Depending on the project, participating in a pre-order or group buy may provide:
Up to 20% off or more on future regular product price
Priority access before regular inventory becomes available
The ability to secure your place in a limited production run
The opportunity to help bring new, community-requested products to market
Because pre-orders and group buys allow us to commit to production quantities, tooling, manufacturing, and product development, pre-order purchases are generally non-refundable once the order has been placed.
If you no longer wish to wait for your pre-order, you may have the option to convert the full amount paid into MR2 Heaven store credit, which can be applied toward MR2 Heaven-branded products.
Please note that pre-order fulfillment timelines are estimates and may change due to manufacturing, fitment, quality control, or other unforeseen development delays.
In the unlikely event that a product is ultimately unable to be produced or the project is permanently canceled, all affected pre-order customers will receive a full refund.
Thank you for supporting our projects and helping us continue to develop new products for the MR2 community.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 1587 reviews.
Took a while to get here, but they fit nicely, are so much lighter than the SS ones I took off, and are smooth on the inside.
I just put them on and my OCD is pinging with the CF mismatch between these pipes and the RacerX intake, but I'll survive.
After my 2GR swap, my 5th gear was only millimeters from the upper right corner. It was so tight that I couldn't even use a boot. 2nd gear was about where neutral should have been. These adjustable cables fixed the issue having both cables maxed out in length. The left/horizontal cable could have used another quarter inch of travel as going into first there will be some contact with the cable bolts, but shouldn't be too bad. I may just have to grind the bolt down some if it becomes too noticeable.
Edit. I found a small spacer in a box of other parts shipped which extends the left cable so these are now perfect. Obviously they've encountered this in the past and have added the spacer. I'm just a little late in the MR2 upgrades as I got 420k out of my (mechanically) original mr2.
The newest version far surpasses the v1 i bought a few years back. The material and rigidity are far better. Cant even flex or bends these like you could the old ones. No more cracked side molding.
Great kit. I ordered the parts at different times and MR2 Heaven prorated the last parts so I didn't pay anymore than if I'd bought the full kit at one time. GREAT SERVICE and communication as always.
This save me lots of headache and make connecting the fans very plug and play, wire length are very dedicated to each location with just enough slack to do cable managment, a must if you run the spal fans
Good price , fast shipping , fitement and look is very good ,good product overall ,i was able to do it myself , can't be more happy of the final result
Much much better than the OEM cloth door insert, my goal is to modernize this car and make it just a bit more "high end" looking and I think these alcantara inserts does just that!
Needs some adjustment but if you buy Glassfiber thats somthing to expect, so if you can do boodywork and smoothen the edge down and join them togetter you will have a super clean looking wing that not many have, this is the wing you need if you dont want what everyone has on their Sw20 and it looks amazing with the right work put into it
I have a working ebrake again!!! Straight foward install, had to work some of the metal on the car so the yellow plastic grommets on the cable stay in place. Also one of the pins wasn’t sliding in at all so I grounded it down and then I slightly drilled the yoke on the cable for an easy fit. I would have gave it 5 stars but I did have to do some work to make it fit so it gets 4 stars
Over all looks good when installed. The reason for the three star is I honestly think the install could be easy I fought with the shell for about an hour trying to get so I could start the screws. But that’s the way these are from factory they’re just a pain. But over all would buy again just wish the thing snapped together easier.
Experience was top notch. Both axles came very fast since I live in Cali, but I'm sure they'd be fine anywhere around the world. Customer service was able to assist me with best in class customer service. Thank you for an overall great experience!
Fit almost perfectly. Since it’s not flexible like the broken thin 90’s plastic it will take some finesse to get it in the right spots but shouldn’t be an issue for anyone familiar with carbon fiber or fiberglass. I will need to get longer screws for the ends but I have driven on the highway and it doesn’t rattle or lift at the ends like OEM, so long as you have every other screw in place it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere.
Transformed the car. Old cracked leather covers out, replaced with new. I used zip ties and massaged seat foam to where it needed to be, and the seats feel like brand new. I added some soft foam to drivers side to increase bolstering. Also got the heated seat kit which I'm wiring up to period-correct Toyota heated seat switches in the switch blanks next to fog light switch, for 100% stock look.
My only gripe - Was sold as black Alcantara but the center part looks gray... much lighter than rest of car interior, until t-tops leak and get the fabric wet.
MR2 Heaven is a great resource for an individual who is new to the MR2 community that just purchased a 1993 MR2 Turbo T Top with only 45,000 miles in amazing condition.
I have purchased more than a few items already and just received my Enkei RPF1 17x7 & 17x8 Staggered Wheels in Silver to replace the original 15” Wheel because I was very limited to tire selection.
All of the items I have purchased from MR2 Heaven are very good quality and benefit the vehicle.
Buy with confidence because this resource is one of the best!
Absolutely perfect quality! The fitment is OEM-like, and the finish looks crisp and clear. Replaced my old cracked housing perfectly. Highly recommended for any SW20 owner!
4/5: I like the look and the light weight of the forged carbon fiber lid.
I did not have success using the 20A fuse for the SPAL fans. Verified I had a good ground connection and good voltage (14.4V with engine running) but continually blew 20A fuses. I went up to 30A fuse for the circuit and was then able to run the fans for more than a few seconds. The SPAL fans are rated for just under 19 Amps combined so I'm not surprised at the 20A fuses popping on startup. The relay kit should be upped to 12-gauge wire and 25 or 30A fusing. I will have to see if the circuit will hold up during continuous use by doing some more testing.
The layout of the fan mounting holes could be better. Mine required a small amount of angle on the spacers to get everything mounted. The instructions warn against overtightening the fasteners for the fans - but it took a full turn past hand tight to get the nyloc section of the nuts to catch the first thread of the bolts. The bolts would be better if 1/8" longer. Recommend using a small bead of lock tight to ensure the nuts don't fall off from vibration.
TLDR: Looks awesome and moves A TON of air. 20AMP fusing didn't cut it for the SPAL fans.
Changing out the fuel pump was quite a difficult experience. Got the new pump in and car runs great. Thanks for providing an excellent product at an affordable price
