Transmission question Options

[Justen]

I have a 94 st, i want to swap in a 3sgte. i was going to just use a 5sfe trans but i was wondering if the 5sfe trans out of a camary or earlier model celicas would wok and if what the transmission code or name is.

Yes will work. S54 The early ones are S53.

[Justen]

so 5gen celica has s53 and 6gen has s54? is there any differences? which does the camary have? is the a difference between the 5sfe cluctch and the 3sgte clutch as far as splines and bolting it to the flywheel?

You can either mix and match clutch compnents, but do what I did and contact Doc Tweak and order a cutom clutch. It will run you around 400, but I'm sure it will be well worth it. I'm not quite sure about the 5sfe camry tranny, but I guess it depends on the year. I'll put it this way, if the 5 speed manual tranny that bolts onto any 5sfe motor, it will bolt right onto the 3s motor with a custom clutch or mix and matched components.
