This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4? -242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205. So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission? (this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

Altezza tranny wouldnt fit first and foremost...secondly the only trannsmission that might work in a celica is a haichi, but even then, doubt it will work...and yes you could use the 205 tranny in a RWD setup...BUT you would be welding the diff up inside the transfer case, and you would have to find some way to "plug" up the holes from the two front axles....even then, you would probably have to swap over the 205 chassis to some degree, and also most definatly the rear setup so you could run the 205 diff, or maybe a supra/soarer diff...nonetheless.........
I belive its very possible to do it, i mean if the evo and subaru guys can do it in that manner so can you....but you would be converting a FWD car to carry a modified AWD tranny, and rear diff...all that work just to be different (i assume different because if you want to drift then WTF yo buy a 240/200sx) when you could just buy a 205 and call it a day, or make a bad ass FWD celica with an lsd to boot as well!! I mean, it seems obvious that you might not have the funds to do somthing like this, and if you didnt even realize that there were members on this site who run badass FWD 3sgte powered celicas, then i doubt you would have the time and patience to really make a RWD celica. Hope i didnt come off as an @ss, but really man, these conversations have been done over and over, and over....But if you did pull it off, show it off, lol.... EDIT: you wouldnt have to remove the front axles, but somehow weld up the center or front diff to only send power to the rear...
