Hey, new here and am looking at buying a 2000 MR2 Spyder. There is a Spyder for sale locally with a broken soft top and low mileage for a pretty good deal. Some Questions The car is a SMT (Wish it was manual). How reliable are these transmissions? To my understanding they still do have a hydraulic/electronically operated clutch (Which seems like a pain if something goes wrong), what are the intervals at which the clutch should be swapped out? Any specific questions i should ask when
