New Motor, New Project Options

I just picked up a 3rd gen 3sgte today and cant wait to start working on it. I do have a few Qs. I would like to install new parts before I swap. Like oil/water pump and all that but I read that some parts are different from the 2nd and 3rd gen. So where would I get those parts?

best place to buy/order parts is straight from a dealer

[domyz]

look at aftermarket parts like fensport or atsracing or ko racing

Awsome Just wanted some good oe parts that way when I do my swap I know everything is new.

I do have another Q

I have a e-153 from a mr2 and was wondering if I got it right. In order for me to get everything working right I need mr2 inners and st185 outer axels but also need to make a spacer on the pass axel? And also I need st205 shift cables? I did read in one post that I need to swap the shift linkage portion on the e-153 with one from a st205?

ST205 Shifter cables, ST205 rear mount with bracket, spacer on both sides, and FWD shift linkage from ST205 / e153 FWD ( camry V6 ? Lexus ES300,Solara V6 )

Well now that Ive asked some q's its only fair to so you guys what Im working on

Sweet MR2 rear clip! GL Show us some pics when you'll do the swap because this might be my only option to go 3sgte

you are going to install that in a Celica ?

wow, you could have gotten a celica clip and it'd be a little easier, but if you got a good deal, can't beat it.


you'll need a few thing you don't have on that clip.

Water neck, ST205 shifter cables, ST205 rear mount, some brackets ( alternator, AC etc ) good luck with the project, looks like fun.

O yea Im looking all over the place for everything and Yes if you know where to get the part #'s or have them for these parts that would be great!

The reason I wanted this is because my tranny was goin out and that I wanted the 3rd gen with lsd also got a hell of a deal!

[ra65_22re]

So Im goin to be picking up some St185 shift cables. I read that one guy did use them but he hasnt logged in since 07 so no point in asking him if he still likes that setup and also parts to convert the mr2 tranny to fwd also from a ST185. So hopfully everything works. I cant find any used St205 cables and new ones are up to 350-400. lol

[Culpable04]

Completely different part numbers and prices, I say they are not the same, but hopefuly you dont encounter any problems with them.


the rear mount is different ( at least the bracket is )

ST185
33821 CABLE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHIFT (FOR FLOOR SHIFT)
33821-20870 ST185
33822 CABLE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECT (FOR FLOOR SHIFT)
33822-20390 ST185


ST205
33820-2B350 ST202, 205..MTM..(GT4, SS2); ｱﾘ(ｽ-ﾊﾟ- ｽﾄﾗﾂﾄ ｻｽﾍﾟﾝｼﾖﾝ) 1 $412.83
33820-2B350

[presure2]

the 185 cables will work, but its gonna shift like a$$.

[ra65_22re]

looks like I'll just spend a lil money on the st205 parts.

So I will def just get the st205 cables but Ive been reading on this web page and it dosent say anything about what year gt4 tranny I need to take parts off of

the parts for the tranny will fit from either ST185 / ST205 / Camry V6 / Solara V6 / Lexus ES300
