Converting E154f to fwd, anyone actually done it? Options

[96stgreendemon]

So been doing some searching and found a site that shows how to convert the e154f to fwd, using mr2 diff and cover plate.

has anyone on here actually done this? im quiet interested in doing this conversion to keep the low mileage tranny that came with the clip, and no this will not burn the diff up since it will be swapped.
or any thoughts on this?

I'd be interested in buying the e154f if you dont end up converting it.

as I posted before, it's perfectly doable, my big mistake was trying to rush things. I would adivse you to start the tranny conversion before you start working on the engine, so you dont get the feeling of the trans holding you up and rushing through it ( that's what I did ) and dont cheap out, by the proper tools, it'll make a world of difference.

as I said on my PM I have the parts you need, so let me know if you want them.

so im trying to take apart my e154f tranny and it doesnt seem to come apart and am not sure but i believe i need to take some bolts out if some one knows and wants to help me, please let me know

soo these bolts on the first 2 pics do they need to come off im guessing yes






or do i just nee to take it apart like in this third pic?
didnt want to just yank it it apart and break sumtin




dont need retarded "sarcastic" (that only makes you laugh) commentary

or if some one has a diagram or manual that explains the process even better

read this. Its VERY helpful. Its a c52, but the two transmissions are similar enough that its a very good guide. You have the factory manual right?

there is a " cheat " way of doing this,

you jsut need to separate the bell housing,, basically undo all the bolts holding the bell housing in place ( as you did ) then with a flashlight, look inside the small opening, look for a metal peice attached to the bell housing by 2 10 or 12 mm bolts, undo those bolts and the bell housing will come off, now, remove the diff and replace it with a LSD diffent and re install the bell housing,, then re do the metal piece again ( this is tought and takes time ) you have to install the peice back again the way it was, and secure it through the small opening, then close the trasn, spin the shaft to make sure everything is aling ( while in neutral ) is everything checks out, close your trans. follow proper bolting techiniques and don't over torque the bolts, make sure the case is closing evenly ( that was my mistake ) and dont forget the magnet, you can easily lose it as it will fall off once the bell housing is separated.
