BEAMS swap.., what trans do i need? Options

[Valo666]

Im looking into duin a swap in my car over the winter or next summer. So im lookin into a 4age silver top, 3sgte, or a BEAMS 3sge. Im thinkin of duin the beams the most. Im just curious on what transmision i need if i do this swap. Could i just use my factory one on the 5sfe? or would i need to go to somethin like an MR2 tranny??

you could always use the 3sge tranny that comes with it..........

do you always have to reply so sarcasticly???...i could except the company im gonna deal with, dont carry to many trannys and if they do most r automatics. I called them today about a silvertop and they only had the 4wd tranny and only had an automatic ECU.

its not sarcastic?
but search around for a clip not just a motor....clips come with trannys

^^ He's right.

With a clip you will get ECU harness engine and tranny.

You could use the 5S-FE tranny. And good luck finding a BEAMS.

if you get a clip then use the 3sge tranny. It has better syncros and you will have a higher top speed if you use that tranny over your 5sfe. Plus the 3sge axles are much stronger than the 5sfe and you would want them because of the power/torque of the 3sge.

A silvertop swap wouldn't be recommended because you have a GT-S, not an ST (you have a S series and the silvertop is an A series)
