well driving home on the mass pike i just cruising at 70mph in 5th gear at 3.5k rpm. when all of a sudden my RPM raises without me even touching the gas and now i down shift like wtf. and yeah every gear my car doesnt move. the clutch doesnt sound like it engageing at all. woo to pulling the motor again to find the problem.
first ill check thing like the slave cylinder ect. but im so confused cause i dont hear any moving parts when i shif an let the clutch out. i cant feel anyhting in the pedal at all. /rant ps this sucks.

im hoping my clutch setup is ok and that my flywheel bolt havent sheared off or worse.

I would think that as well. The trannys would be the same for the JDM celica & curren.

Another theory is that I have L.S.D. I'm a little doubtful on that. But then again, I have never had any experience with an L.S.D. tranny.

One thing is for sure, I have a very strange tranny.

if you read a lot of posts on mr2oc about mr2 owners trying to figure out if they have lsd or not, youll notice a lot of people tell you that just because you have 2 burnout markts, dosnt mean you have lsd.

i know you said that when manny tires to do a burn out, he dosnt leave the same markings, but you have to remember that he still has a 5sfe motor. it makes different power and torque. his car also has a lot less weight then a 3sgte swaped celica. not to mention thats its two different drivers doing the burnout. so you really cant compare the two cars.

also, your car might have less/more torque steer because of the fact that you dont have power steering.

all signs point to it being a normal s54 tranny. the axels might be ticker, but that dosnt mean much because its the tranny you are comparing, and not the axels. they are still the same spline count and length.


the cool thing about all this, is that now we know why the s54 holds up well for us swapers. it was a tranny that was built to handle at least the power of a 3sge motor.


another thing to remember is that the s54 is really an updated version of the s53. if they did beef it up, or change anything about the 3sge trans, they would have renamed it to s55 like they did when they upgraded the 5th gen s53 to the s54.
