6G Celicas Forums

I recently purchased a 4th gen 3sgte that came with a FWD tranny on it or something like that. What I need to know is how to identify which transmission it is so I can find out what axle inner shafts to get. There was one in there when it came in, and they are apparently much wider/thicker than what is on the car already. Need to know how to identify what I need to get the other inner shaft.

The one on the left in each picture is the stock GT one coming out of my car. The one on the right in the pictures is what came in the transmission that was on the new engine.

Im not 100% sure but im bettin its a e53
But ive never messed with one so im not sure
Good luck

I thought I read somewhere that the year matters. Or does only the generation matter?

all celica's use the same hub. Either its a S or E series transmission. E53, Camry?????? E56 came from 94-95 celica ss-II superstrut

Passenger side of transmission.


Drivers Side. Sorry about the angle, I was on a creeper trying to line up the shot by feel practically.

E56 i have same one. They pulled from a 3sge 3rd gen NA .
Nothing from S54 will work on that gearbox as far as axles
concerned.. It is basically a FWD ST205 gearbox but different
internals

Is there a way to determine that for sure? Do these things have stamps or plates or anything to identify them at all? This is driving me crazy, I'm about ready to just put my st204 tranny on to it instead.

Anybody recognize this?

That is from E56 as mentioned earlier.. If you want to sell just that part left me know..
Non LSD Mr2 Turbo axles may work but will need to do some hybrid work..

I am ordering SS2 axles from overseas ..can find US Toyota parts to fit but only from piecing together

That sucks. That's the only way I can avoid hybrid axles though isn't it? I'd still need hybrids if I switched to an E153? Really don't want to have to go with the S54 if I can avoid it.

wait a minute now! that bar in the diff is exactly what a 93+ MR2 turbo with LSD looks like.

The axles for the E153 with LSD don't look the same, pretty sure they are different. Also, the bar is present in non LSD transmissions of almost every other sort. At least from the research I've done that's the way it works. Ended up bolting the 5SFE tranny back on with a new clutch for now. found a non LSD tranny for 300, but then comes the problem (financially at least) of making axles and getting the right shift cables. Anyone know if you can ONLY use the ST205 cables? Or are there other options?

Revival;

Any progress or resolution to this??
