hey guys, at my local junkyard i can pick up an s54 with 140k on it for 75 bucks, i was thinking about doing it and possibly getting it rebuilt or adding a limited slip.
what do you guys think on this price? what does a manual transmission rebuild involve (changing the gears?) and do you think its worth it to take on a project like this? there would be no time crunch and id have plenty of time to learn since i have a working tranny on my car right now. do you think this could be a cheaper option than a e153 from an mr2 + axles + limited slip if i dont find one in it? im not looking for much, i probably wouldnt even buy stronger gears, just maybe add a differential and rebuild it so it would shift like new. most of you know the car is still for sale but ive been considering keeping it now that i have a job and since it is only a few days a week and walkable from my apartment i might be able to do some extreme overhaulin this summer. this is just one of the ideas i am throwing around. the tranny has been sittin out in the elements for who knows how long, but it wasnt rusted, had a working clutch in it and all the gears clicked, we know this cause we clicked around with the forks and pressed on the slave cylinder and fluid shot out! haha. thanks for the input -brian |

I dont really need anything. All I need to do is open up my Limited Slip Transmission and my Original S54 that came with the swap and count the teeth on the ring and pinion.
I'm almost certain by from what Rusty said and the video footage I recorded that I do in fact have a 4.529 final drive gear ratio. That's something that I don't like  Although it might be better suited for track. I would prefer to have a 4.312 final drive found in the 6 speed Sequential Transmission found in 2003-2005 MRS with Helical LSD with the 4th and 5th Gears from the S51 Transmission in my S54 Transmission. THe current final drive I have right now is from C60 6 speed Open Differential Celica GT-S Transmission made from 2000-2005 This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Jun 11, 2011 - 6:17 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
