if using the gt tranny with the 3sgte motor, you will need:
5sfe disk (or a custom made 3sgte disk, with the splines for the 5sfe tranny)
5sfe throwout bearing
5sfe alignment tool
3sgte pressure plate
3sgte flywheel (or just get your stock one resurfaced)

if you are going to use an mr2 turbo tranny, then all you need to do is buy a clutch kit for a 90-93 turbo mr2.

be carefull when buying clutch disks for the 5sfe tranny. a stage 1 disk for the 5sfe is not the same thing as a stage 1 disk for the 3sgte. so if you get something like a stock oem clutch or a ACT street disk, it probably will not hold the power you need to put down.
if you call up a company like Spec or Clutchmasters and tell them about your project, they can make you a custom disk that can hold the power you will make and have the correct spline count that you need.

Email sent to SPEC:

Hi Sales,

I'm putting a 3sgte (90-93 celica all-trac) and using a manual tranny
for the '94 5sfe.

I'm told these will be the parts I require:

5sfe clutch disk (or a custom made 3sgte disk, with the splines for the
5sfe tranny)
5sfe throwout bearing
5sfe alignment tool
3sgte pressure plate

Can you please provide the part numbers for these various parts so that when
I'm ready to buy them, I can do so easily.

Many thanks in advance,

Chanh

Response:

It is a custom kit, ST6215S for st1, ST6225S for st2, ST623H5S for st2+, etc., doing them for the same price as the 3S units, too.
