So i found a car that might work for my project car Craigslist Celi
Now it is the right price, and it is local, since i will be gutting everything out of it, i am not concerned about the engine noise or condition of the inside or the paint, and i'll be having the frame inspected since it was in an accident, but it is an AT, and im not sure if it is a hatch or not... So I am planning an doing a 3sgte swap with the next celica i buy, maybe this one, what are going to be the down falls of buying a celi with an Automatic transmission in regards to the swap?

That shouldn't matter, should it, because don't you have to replace the transmission to pair it up to the 3sgte anyway?

Well from what i understood over the phone with the shop that is doing my swap is that they still use the trans but they put in different internals and such, so i think if it was an auto they would have to buy another one? not sure, they dont open till 9 -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

Uhm...the ECU that controls the 3sgte wont be able to control ur auto tranny. Unless you go standalone. If you get a ST205 clip you'll have most of the components to do the auto to manual swap, just need to source an S54.
There is a member who has dont the 3sgte swap with an auto tranny, I cant remember who though. Im not familiar with auto 3sgte so please correct me if any of the above is not right. -------------------- 98% completion --- aaRon |
