tranny with 5sfe Options

[HaRv3sTeR]

is it a good idea to swap my tranny to a mr2-t (since I must change my tranny anyway for a swap) an keeping my 5sfe then saving for a 3rd gen 3sgte? or that tranny are no no with 5sfe? also, if i decide to get a 2rd gen 3s, will the tranny still be compatible?

ok...the mr2-t tranny is gonna be a very difficult install...its coming out a rwd car so you have to turn it around and get new half shalfts, linkages, and i think reweld one of the mounts on the tranny to a different location...personally if i was doing the 3s swap i would use the 5sfe tranny...its bolt ups just fine and i havent heard of any failing yet under the power of the 3s...as for using the mr2-t..dont put it in now unless ur 5s tranny is dead because its gonna be a definate hassal fitting it into your car..the 5s should bolt up though considering it is an s series transmission and engine combination...so if you plan on using the mr2-t wait till u get the 3s and do it all at once

Everyone keeps forgtting, Its a RWD car but setup exactly like a FWD car because the engine is in the back also.
