Been researching transmissions for a few weeks now. Here is where I am sitting.

Auto Out of the question

I am building power, and its hooking up to an 5sfte build. On a st 204 chasis.

So first and foremost, the s54 transmission, which I have two of them, is literally a plug and play, but whats the max hp/torque this thing can hold.

What e153 models are front wheel drive if any, and if I use one, with or without lsd, do I need costum axels?

Same question for the 154f but I think those are awd right?

shooting for 350+ hp with a 5sfte. Got post for the project so don't spam here about the choice of project and money.

Just using this to find the best transmission that is front will drive that will hold up to the hp/trq and also mounts with no chassis wielding on frame.

The S54 had proven reliable up to 300 whp, and I think presure2 still had his S54 on his 5S-FTE. All E153's are set up for FWD, the only difference is where the shift cables mount on the Solara/Camry E153 vs the MR2 E153. You will need the custom axles that are frequently discussed on here with the E153. The E154F is an AWD trans.

The E153 is the trans to go with. It's one of Toyota's toughest FWD trannies and the gearing is much better for your hp goals than the S54.

e153 it is, now I have to research the axles. Thanks richee3. As always

Ditto on the E153, the hard part is just finding one. Scour all the junk yards!
