Sorry if its been covered before i did not see it in searches, but i have a question for any of you that have used the awd tranmission in your swaps. once you get it bolted to the motor can you drive it with out the propshaft and rear diff? my understanding is its gonna split 50/50 between the front and rear so i'm a bit concerned of burning it out with no load from the rear. is there a way to lock out the center diff and use it in a FWD configuration? Can someone confirm one way or the other? i'de like to drvie it to a friends lift but he's about 150 miles away

thanks

Yes. The e153 trans from an mr2 with a few modifications or the gt s54 trans are what people are using besides the awd trans. The easiest is the s54 by far but the mr2 trans can have a few more goodies such as LSD and was actually made for the 3s's power. That being said I'm not sure if anyone has posted about the limitations of either tranny as of yet. Hope this helps. The search button can give you lots of results on this topic.

PEOPLE!!!!!!

you dont need an MR2 trans, if you want an E153, get one from a Camry or Solara. no mods needed.

Hey Smaay,

Are you saying that the auto tranny from the v6 camrys will also work? I've spoken to one guy so far who claims that the 3sgte's ecu has some problem sending signals to the the tranny to shift. If you can confirm that this will work I'd like to attempt it on my conversion.
