Basically, I will be swapping soon (end of summer hopefully) and I want to know if it's worth it to go with the E153 Tranny, or any other LSD combo? For you guys using just the GT tranny, do you get much 1 wheel-peel? I'll have Dr Tweak do the swap, I just want to know if it's with the extra $1200-$1750.
Thanks |

The car has 247k miles on it. I just swapped in another manual tranny, one with about 70k miles that I picked up from a junkyard.
The problem is, I've never ridden in a 3s CELICA so I don't know if I'm going to want more power. I've ridden in a MR2 turbo with a CT20B and a few other basic boltons and it felt niiiice. Now obviously it's M-R so it's going to feel different from a stop, but as far as on the highway they should feel close right? If so, that would be perfect for now. I'm pretty sure the only real upgrades I'll do right away would be a CT20B or CT27, and a full performance exhaust. Art, do you get a lot of torque steer? Would the e153 help that?

I think you should plan your desired power level first. If its over 200whp, go with the tranny that is known to hold up! -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
