01 mr2 spyder soft brake pedal

Hello boys! I recently removed my calipers for painting and let the brake system run dry.

After doing a complete bleed on my brakes, and changing the front callipers to Prius callipers, and complete ferrodo pads all around, i thought my persistent problem of the brake pedal feeling soft and needing to bottom it out to brake fully/activate the ABS would disappear.

Well, it didn’t.

So the symptoms are:

-The brake pedal feels soft, and needs full travel to try to lock-up/activate ABS (i’m looking for that hard/stiff pedal feel, where pressure dictates how much brake you are applying)

-if i pump the brake with the car off and hold it, the pedal doesn’t go down

-if i prime/pump the pedal with the car running, it gets stiff, but after breaking once the softness/long travel returns

-i can activate the abs by breaking hard, but there is still some wheel locking (not sure if the ABS is not very intrusive or the ABS is acting weird)

Can someone help me out with this before i fire the parts cannon and leave the car on stands for weeks? Thanks everyone

Oil on top of gear box

Hi guys, i got thick oil dripping from the top part of my gearbox. It seems like gearbox oil. The gear selector mechanism is soaked in it. There is no spray under the car, and the drive shafts are dry. Any ideas on what it might be?

Thanks everyone.
