I am in the process of saving up for a 3sgte, but my car is automatic. I am going to switch it to a manual before i get the 3sgte...just because i hate driving an auto....but would it work to just try and buy a 3sge or another higher power transmission and put that on my 5sfe motor until I can get my 3sgte. I also want to upgrade my suspension and brakes and other stuff before i get that 3sgte power in my car.

sure you can do it, but why not wait till you do the swap? it will save you on labor costs to take the stock engine and tranny out and put all the new stuff in at one time.

taking the engine out now and swapping the tranny then having to take the engine out again is kind of a waste.

i will be doing almost all of the labor myself, and my auto is kinda not shifting right since i put on my short ram. I dont think the guy that had the car before me drove it right. He probably raced it alot...dont know, but i do want an 3sge tranny for sure. I just have to wait to find one. Oh, and i will be getting the 3sgte from a 5th gen clip. Dont want to mess around with switching an awd or rwd tranny. I can wait for the stuff that i want, that way i have no regrets. biggrin.gif
