S-54: 3.285, 1.960, 1.322, 1.028, 0.820 / FD: 3.944, 4.176
-3.944 diff found in JDM/UK 2nd and 3rd gen 3S-GE
-4.176 diff found in MK2 MR2 NA and 6gc GT
S-51: 3.538, 1.960, 1.250, 0.945, 0.731 / FD: 3.944
- found in I4 Camry
E-153: 3.230, 1.913, 1.258, 0.918, 0.731 / FD: 3.933, 4.285
-3.933 diff found in V6 Camry
-4.285 diff found in MK2 MR2 turbo
-V6 E-153 upgraded from 2 to 3 synchros 93+

e-153 is a good deal stronger than the s-54, however it is also significantly heavier (around 70lbs if i remember correctly, dont quote me on that).

Excellent man, thats the info I needed, the best
I have the S54 gearbox, I am going to convert it to a Race dogbox with sequential Shifter for drag racing, ohh and 6speed. but I think I will use the E153 as the primary shaft where the clutch disc gets connected is smaller on the S54 and it is easier for me to buy clutches with larger amount of toruqe that can be transmitted to the engine.

What do you think?
