St205 transmission help, Looking for a cheap transmission option Options

[Wannabesupra]

So I just purchased a 94 celica st that was swapped with the 3sgte from an st205 gt4. At the moment it's running a manual trans from a 98 4cyl Camry. I know these don't hold up to power very well but I'm blown away by the fact that they hold up at all. I guess this transmission has been holding up for 4 years which I think is crazy. So I'm just wondering what other options I have for inexpensive tranny setups that don't require too much modification. Also, if I were to get another Camry transmission, what model years should I look for? (As I said the current tranny is from a 98). The current one is finally starting to let go (it appears to be having issues with the 4th to 5th synchro as it grinds going into 5th sometimes and pops out of 5th as well.

Any info would be much appreciated. This is my first post on here and I must say this page looks very well put together! Thanks in advance

I think Manny put down somewhere around 450hp or so on his S54. I'm guessing that'll equate to about 375-400 ft-lb of torque with the proper clutch. I'm hoping mine will hold as much with the Southbend Stage 2 Endurance clutch I just bought.

Do you know what clutch is currently in the car and how much power it's making?

Surprisingly enough, synchros AND gears are still available from the dealership for relatively cheap.

You can look into doing the E153 swap out of a V6 Camry/Solara or MR2. There's a few threads on it through the forums if you search.
