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 |

honestly I dont know how you can drive that for 2 years without the tranny breaking. I am assuming that you do not daily drive your celica? WHen I did my swap I swapped a brand new 6 puck clutch in at the time. I have put 20k on my swap and I have been through 3 trannys the enire time. When I took the trany off this time I looked at the clutch it seams decent but this time I have to go with a mr2 turbo clutch being that I am swapping for a e153. But I doubt its clutch issues. The tranny just cant hold the power.

The tranny just cant hold the power. ive got about 17k on my tranny since the turbo install, and ive had 3s power or better since going thru it. have yet to break anything. im not gonna make it to the track tonight, so i guess we'll have to wait and see for a couple more weeks...but then again...not like i havent been beating on it on the street...and the way i have to "pedal" the gas and clutch to launch without just lighting up the tires, im thinking i should be ok. like i said earlier, i think if i were to go to a drag radial, or slick @ the track, then axels will become an issue. have you been breaking axles? theyre usually the first thing to go before the tranny actually breaks. if not, id suspect some other issue. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
