6G Celicas Forums

OKEY, this summer i will be doing an engine swap one way or another (probably in ma front yard) with 4agze, 3sge, 4age silver, or 4age black. but that besides the point. now i have another idea.

WHY NOT once obtaining the engine wait a lil bit and find me a sick a$$ trans to pop in there whille i got them both out! now i havnt seen any talk bout this and i had benn think in for ever, so POAST if you've even herd of some one using a 6 speed(other than sum supra ) okey, now if you have or know bout it, write it up, im'a look it up and see what i can see.
i learned alot here, mabey i'll be able to help back.

the problem is, that no sick ass 6sp trans will bolt up to any of those motors.

yea its been brought up a bunch of times..the 5 speed sucks caus its such a short gear box and i would love to throw a 6 speed in it but its just not pratical unless you wanna spend money out the ass..if you search 6speed theres a lot of topics that come up..heres just one:

Art, there is a 6 speed tranny that will bolt to the A series engines ( 4AGE / 4AGZE / I think it'll even bolt to 7AFE with some mods )


but honestly I don't see the big benefit unless you love shifting.

yeah doesn't the C series from the celica gts tranny bolt up to the A series with an adapter plate or something. eh i honestly forget.

current research shows that you have two 6speed tranmission option with an A series engine.

The 6 speed black top 4age found in the ae111 (jdm TRUENO).

Or you can get a hold of the 2000+ gts 6speed tranmission.

But I dont see any strength advantages to them, therefore its not a highly recommended upgrade.

i dont think theres any point in a 6spd, usually you need a 6spd for a car with higher hp. With a stock ST, or even with a 20v in our car, theres no reason to need a 6spd. it will take you like 25 seconds to get up to 60 with a 6spd gear ratio. It would be nice to have an extra gear on the original tranny just to keep the revs down at crusing speed, but theres no real point. Also, good luck finding a 6spd trueno tranny in north america, they r pretty hard 2 come by.

yea i see the not much advantage point, and it would be probably expensive to ALSO ship a tranny too, but i would think it would be usefull with the upgraded engine. i really dont think it is worth ALL that much trouble... other than being one of the only peeps wit a 6 speed 6gc. OH WELL.
