This document was meant to be a guide on how the average joe may drop his 2zz engine out of his Spyder. While the focus is the 2zz engine, you can also apply more than 90 percent of what is done here to your 1zz if you wish to get it out of the way too. The goal is to take some of the mystery out of pulling an engine from a Spyder.

Changing the transaxle (transmission) fluid on an MR2 turbo is actually very simple. The only difficult part is removing the drain and fill plugs which can be somewhat stubborn, particularly if they have never been removed before. Click pictures to enlarge.
