I had to share - I got the word today. The beast runs! All that is left is FMIC and piping, exhaust, intake fabrication and guages. I may be doing some chassis stiffening too...smiles. My wait is almost over!

I can finally help someone on this board.  question 1 : Does the S54 speed sensor work with the E153 tranny or do they have to be swapped? The speed sensor from the s54 will NOT work. You have to use the speed sensor from the original st185 (all trac) tranny. Then it should work. question 2 : Does the motor mount on the E153 work ok with the GT? As for motor mounts. To my understanding, when using the E153 tranny, you have to use the Front, Rear, and Left side (the one that bolts to the tranny) mounts and motor mounts brackets from a ST205. You also need to either get ST205 shifter cables, or modify them because they are a LIL too short. Atleast, that's what EL Prototype told me. I guess the reason they tell you to get the motor mounts and motor mount brackets, is because with out them, the motor leans forward a lil, and because of that, the axels wont be making perfect contact. They will be rubbing at an angle, and can eventually **** up the gears inside the tranny. That's what I understood he said. If anything, call them up and talk to Erik. He's the one who does that E153 tranny swap for others This post has been edited by sphinx: Aug 11, 2004 - 4:01 PM |
