I recently came across a new 3rd Gen 3SGE for my GT-S. The price was right.
Now I'm sure I'm going to have a plethora of questions about the swap from now until completion, and the forums here so far are a little dry on swap information on a 3SGE... so I wanted to start this thread in hopes that one day the question(s) I ask would be of some use to new members attempting the same swap. The sale included a 3SGE from a '96 ST202 w/ 98K on it (or so I'm told); a full uncut wiring harness & 3SGE ECU. The axels were chopped off prior to shipping. The engine itself was either cleaned prior to being sold to the guy I bought it from, or it was never abused... I'm hoping for the latter.  Regardless, while its out of the engine bay I have every intention of doing some minor upgrades & major maintenance so I won't need to worry about it for a while once its installed and running.My first set of question(s): Where can I get quality parts for the 3SGE (OEM & Aftermarket) in North America? Will the axels from a 5SFE work on the 3SGE Transmission? Will the 3SGE bolt up to the 5SFE engine mounts? Will the 5SFE shift cables work with the 3SGE? Will I need a speedo from a 3SGE - or will the one I currently have work properly? (I have aftermarket tach - I'm more concerned with the km/h dial) ... that should be enough for now.

If your question about 5s parts and 3s parts gelin, hasn't been answered yet, which it probably has cause of the useful info on this site, all S series 4 cylinder motors and trannys can be mated with eachother.....5sfe/3sge/3sgte, if you had an S series I'n your car before you drop your motor I'n, your factory mounts will accommodate it, either that, or if you own the GT model Celica....I believe you have the GT-S, that will work. I used my 5s tranny with my 3sgte engine, works fantastic!! And my tranny has 277,000 KMs on it, the only thing I did was give the inside a solvent bath, and put a stage 1 clutch, handles the power great..
 Good luck with your swap....you will notice good solid power gains with the 3sge, over the 5s |
