I have a gx100 mark II with w55 box.

since I got it, its been pretty hard to engage the clutch smoothly, you have to do it so slow the car almost comes to a stop before it happens.

Yeah fair enough. I've always wondered why they got rid of the mr2. Surely it doesn't cost that much to make. Lightweight body and engine from corolla done. People are still buying mx5s so there is a market for a poor man's lotus
