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 smile.gif

That is very impressive! I would of never expected them to hold that power. I've been told it's running an exedy stage 3 pressure plate mated to the 3sgte and a stage 2 5 puck disk meant for the Camry transmission. If I do get another Camry trans as a spare, what years of Camry should I be looking for? That wiki Link is very helpful but I'm just not sure what model years those transmission designations login up to. Thanks!
