6G Celicas Forums

has anyone dropped a 6-speed into their celica or if not can you??? if so on either, how much does it cost and where do i find it???

No and no...

The ONLY toyota FWD 6 speed is the C60/C160 traannies and those only bolt up to the A series engines. They are also useless on anything that doesn't peak power past 6000 rpms.

my peak power is 6300, plus i want to switch to rear whel drive

better put on your flame suit

maybe it could be done ^

Heheheheh... ok buddy. Go do it it and come back here and tell me I was a dumbass for being wrong.

Flame suit, bah......dont ask me how, but a 6spd tranny/engine combo in the 6th gen would work......its just that someone has to do it.....that link'd thread might be the best bet for info into it......

Have you read the linked thread? I believe I had some things to say in that thread...

C'mon guys... Hypothesizing is one thing... but this is a crapshoot IDEA with no real logic behind it. First off... what would be the advantage be? Mated to what engine? How are you gonna do it? What do you know about drivetrain? Fabrication?

its true. for the money you might as well just buy a custom tranny from c-one or have a tranny shop make you different gears for a different power ratio.

It would make perfect sense.





















Along with a 4AGE 20v Blacktop or 2ZZGE swap!

Come on Doc, you can't magically make a six speed fit a 3S???? I thought you had skills!

yah, i love to revitalize dead topics, but anywho, isnt the beams altezza engine 6spd......couldnt u use the tranny from that with another 3s series engine??....with the right fabrication i believe it can be done...true i have nothing to back that up, but after reading of ppl doing v6 swaps, supercharged 3sfe
s and many other things, it could be possible right?? or am i jsut talking nonsense??

I think it's all nonsense.Isn't 5 gears enough shifting already? That and the fact you would probably never use the 6th gear.

Celicas werent engineered with 6 gears in mind. Like most sport compacts, 5spd is the staple.
6 spd trannys are suited more for high power 6,8,10,12 super cars. Where 6 gears is necessary.

Ok so it could be done..But..Why?

You're talking nonsense because the Altezza is RWD...

That makes no sense at all. Look at the S2000, Civic, RSX, 7th Gen Celica, new MR2 (SMT6 tranny), and a handfull of others. All with six speed transmissions (or at least available). It's not a matter of how many times you shift, it's a matter of gearing. With a stock motor (5S or 7A), sure, the Celica needs the steep gearing and final drive ratio as stock to keep it from being too much of a burden to get moving in traffic without impeding others. But, for some of us who do a lot of highway cruising or have upgraded to a 3S-GTE, we don't need that steep gearing. And personally, I HATE driving the celica on the highway for extended periods of time because at 80 MPH, turning 4K rpm's with the custom exhaust droning away is flat out tiring. It would be MUCH nicer to have the same 1-5 gears (or close) with a more overdriven 6th gear for those highway cruising period.

Six speed transmissions aren't just reserved for high power "super cars" like you think. The main reason the six speed came into prominence is the extra overdrive gear for improved fuel economy, be it on a 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 cylinder engine.

He said he was going with a RWD setup...

yay, annother one of those topics

Thats right, he SAID, he did NOT do it nor explain by any means how it will be done. People need to get realistic, you need a foundation for a project of that magnitude, not just hopes and dreams. Talking about it and not backing it up will make you look like an idiot. no offence intended.

yeah, rwd. nice.

I can't believe I just read through this thread. I'm so ashamed of myself. Can some modderater check the IP address of the orginial poster and see if it matches an existing member? This has to be someone just try to start something for the fun of it.

yeah im doing and AWD track conversion
