3S-GTE Trannies, Worthy of the power Options

[Chrobis]

Well with super's recent problem it is almost a certain fact the stock GT tranny will crush under the pressure, so what options does everyone have? Could everyone please list in possible transmisions that can take the power? include what car they came from, and possibly their designation code. Maybe even list tranies that will bolt but wont last, I'll make a list in this post and keep it updated, maybe worthy of a sticky in this forum. Also include if the tranny comes with a LSD or if its available for it... Thanks.

Ready for the power (this can take almost anything you throw at it)
1. Camry v6/ Solara Code: E-153
2. MR2 Turbo Code: E-153 (used with 3s-gte) LSD included on 94+

Who Knows (bolts to a 3S-GTE, but it could work and it could fail)
1. Celica GT Code: S-54 (used with 5s-fe)
2. Celica SSII/SSIII Code:?? (used with 3s-ge) LSD available AM (this could be a different version of the s54!?)
3. Curren Code: ?? (used with 3s-ge) (this also is a different version of the s54, rumored to be stronger)

Cannot be Used (bolts to a 3S-GTE but won't work in a FWD Celica)
1. Altezza Code: ?? (used with 3s-ge) for RWD

There was a celica 5sfe turbo florida that was doing 380 whp with stock tranny. I think he since switched to a camry tranny but only to get his top speed up. never had any problems with the stock one, just kept good gear oil in it and shifted smooth and it was fine.

remember too: people blow these trannies up all the time on STOCK celicas too. It's called bad driving and clashing gears or beating on it in general. I'll probably blow mine up soon too...but so far I'm at about 1500 miles with the swap and still doing ok.
