It turns out that it was simply beyond the point of needing a tune up. For some unknown reason my mechanic did not replace the spark plug wires, distributor cap, or rotor during my swap. I replaced all of those yesterday and now it's running better than ever.

The engine seems to idle normal and doesn't seem to act up below 3k rpms, but once it's up there it completely bogs down and I can't seem to accelerate without switching gears. I'm not completely sure if this has anything to do with my issue, but I wrapped the turbo with a heat shield that may have covered the wastegate actuator arm. After removing the heat shield, the problem was still present.

KAAZ finally replied and the DBT2100 does in fact work with the GT tranny.

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a KAAZ LSD for a 95 GT tranny, but I don't see ST204 listed. Does anyone know the exact part number? I'm guessing it's the DBT2100, but I wanted to make sure before I bought it. Thanks!

What about axels, shifter linkage and cables? Wouldn't I also need those to fit any E153 tranny, or was that for MR2 only?

After doing some research I'm not sure which way I want to go yet. I wanted to get an MR2 Turbo Tranny since I made the noob mistake of buy the wrong clutch kit. The clutch I bought fits in the MR2 E153. After looking into what I have to do to make the E153 work in my car I found that it may be easier and cost the same just to buy LSD for the GT tranny, send the clutch kit back and get the Spec clutch that has the 3S-GTE clutch plate and GT splines.

Thanks for the info so far. I'm going to have to do some shopping around before I decide whether I'll be selling my GT parts.

Also, which year Camry had the E153? I was looking at the list of cars the clutch I bought fits on and didn't see a Camry. Thanks again!

I'm currently in the process of swapping my GT engine for a 3S-GTE and would like to upgrade the transmission seeing as how the clutch in the GT I'm tearing the 3S-GTE out of was ripped to shreds at 40k miles. Of course I'd love to had one with LSDs, but I'm willing to go without. If anyone knows where I can get an MR2 Turbo tranny I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Keth

Four sold me this car last night. I screwed up and forgot to go to the bank to grab the cash before it closed, but we got it all sorted out. Much thanks to him for being so patient and sorry to all of those who missed out on this great deal. I can't wait to complete my swap!
