I recently just bought a toyota 95 Celica ST and have been researching quite a bit, and within the next few months will be doing 3S-GTE swap. Now my only problem is i know my transmission will not work with that engine any suggestion on what transmission to get or if there is a front clip with a FWD transmission, because from what i have noticed they are all AWD and RWD.
Thank you ahead of time on all your responses |

well kinda if u do some more research you'll find that u can use that tranny but you'll have to modify it with different axels and such but u will gain lsd if your lucky enough to come across that tranny.

I wouldn't buy a front clip for a MR2 Turbo....you would be pretty disappointed if you were looking for an engine and tranny. As for threads, try these: e153 tranny thread #1 e153 tranny thread #2 e153 tranny thread #3 Good luck. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

DONT BUY AND MR2 CLIP!
esp, not for you 1st swap. you want an st185 clip, then look around for an mr2 tranny and sell your awd tranny that you get with the clip. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
