3sgte clutch has a different spline count than the 5sfe.
so the results are: 3sgte to s53/s54 trans = 3s flywheel & pressure plate, 5s clutch disc 3sgte to e153 trans = 3s flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc 5sfe to s53/s54 trans = 5s flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc 5sfe to e153 trans = 5s flywheel & pressure plate, 3s clutch disc 3sgte spline count = 21 5sfe spline count = 20 so count the spines on your transmission to determine which clutch will fit. --------------------  I <3 MY ST214 |

What he said. You can use either a 5S disc or the disc for the BEAMS, (31250-20331). Then you can use a pressure plate from a 5th gen Alltrac and throw out bearing for your stock 5S/S54. All parts are available in the US.

I mean I knew all of that. I guess I should have geared the question more toward the e153. I think I would just as soon buy the beams clutch kit if I can get it for the right price

Thank for the spline info. I had always wondered why lol - that answered that. Thanks again for the help Dan, So those are the usdm parts that comprise a full beams clutch then?

The BEAMS disc is sold in the United States, though I've never figured out what application it has here. I think it cost me like $70 or something like that. The ST185 pressure plate is readily available in the US and has more than ample clamping force for the BEAMS. It's a totally OEM setup and it feels great. None of that weird pedal feel that some aftermarket clutches give.

Today it started.... took out most of the interior Everything you see here including the center console, the airbag module, the radio, the center plastic around everything and the shifter/boot
 Also, the engine bay of the shell is effectively empty (thanks dan  ) The actual motor going into that bay  Found a nice little treat in the center console as I removed it - Thanks to one of the previous owners lol  The interior was mostly gutted in about an hour of work -------------------- |

Looks good! The interior comes apart pretty quickly. I totally forgot that Stadium Arcadium disc was in the car. I never bothered testing that radar detector either. I found some surprises in the car when I took it apart and I'm sure you've found a lot more.

I tried to not mess with the RS3000 security system. That thing goes crazy. Disconnect the battery, reconnect it, and the car alarm goes off. I looked at taking it out one day and quickly changed my mind
I'm a little upset to see my baby's insides ripped out... But not that upset. Keep it up! Since I'm doing another BEAMS swap, we'll race. Last one to start the BEAMS is a rotten egg! -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

A few more hours of work, got everything taken out for the most part. We're down to just the firewall with the exception of the brake booster.
 All I need now are some jdm parts. Anyone have a set of tails or a 3 post steering wheel? QUOTE (stephen_lee @ Nov 29, 2011 - 1:07 AM) QUOTE (TRD11 @ Dec 1, 2011 - 7:19 AM) sweet car man love the vvtiAnd thank you both! - I also love the project thus far -------------------- |

haha I figured why buy a clip and not use the whole thing! There will be some detailed pics when the more intricate stuff happens here. I won't let you down. You can live vicariously through this thread. I'll allow it
