100k mile tuneup

Hi all.

I just bought a 1991 MR2 turbo with 100k miles on it. I'm new to the car, so bear with me. It did NOT come with the manual to the vehicle, so if anyone knows where an owners manual is online, I'd much appriciate it. I looked for a Chiltons and Haynes manual at the local Pep Boys and it seems to be AWOL, although most of them were in poor condition so it's entirely possible that I missed it or they didn't carry it. An amazon.com search yielded a guide that covered the tercel, corolla, and MR2, but those are incredibly different automobile and it got poor reviews. I figured I would post a thread...

What would you do to tune up the car at 100k miles? Assume that the guy did the oil and antifreeze and nothing else. Which is pretty much what he did.
The plan is currently:
Timing Belt (interruption engine, right?)
Clutch
Pressure Plate
Throwout bearing
AC Belt
Alternator Belt
Fuel Filter
Oil Filter
Fluids

That last one is a problem. Without the owners manual to the vehicle, I'm in a bit of a bind. How much engine oil does it take at what weight? How much of which oil am I going to need to refill the clutch housing? Is the gearbox oil sperate or a shared pool and if it's seperate, is it worth changing?

Thanks guys,
Josh

Takes 4.1 qts of oil. The only manual for it is the factory service manual (big green book). There are 3 books.... and they aren't cheap. I use 10w30 Syntectic oil on mine.

looks like you gotta plan but #1.)I wouldn't touch the clutch , pressure plate or throwout bearing unless you're having problems with them. I don't think the clutch housing needs oil 2.) Belts-just do visual check of belt condition and tightness. 3.)Fuel filter- wouldn't hurt to change.. 4.) Oil-if there's not a sticker somewhere saying when oil was last change, I would do a visual check and decide if a change is needed. I have been running 10w 40 synthetic in mine '91T 5.)Fluids- probably time to change gear oil-(not shared with any other system) synthetic would be best( 90wt). 6.) Timing belt- OEM recommends change @75k and 7.) go thru ignition system-spark wires, plugs(NGK coppers gap @.032 if running stock boost), cap, rotor... I think there is a link on TN with specs..have fun
