I've looked through all the stickies and did some searching so NO BASHING.
It seems like everyone who has a 3sgte has a manual tranny. I'd like to know why. Is it because of the whole manual is more fun thing or is it because an auto tranny isn't possible. Also, when I say auto tranny bolt-on, I mean will it stay a front wheel drive. I don't want to do any rear-wheel or all-wheel drive conversions. If I do the swap, I'd like an auto for a daily driver because shifting all the time in traffic sucks. With all this, here's my main question: Are there any auto transmissions that will simply bolt on to a 3sgte motor and keep it front wheel drive? If someone has the answer, please post it. --Bill |

What I've gathered so far:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=26475 http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=26491 1. An auto trans will bolt up to a 3SGTE. 2. The flexplate will NOT bolt to the 3SGTE crank. (Confirmed 10-11-2006) It will need machined to fit the larger bolts. 3. The 6th gen trans is computer controlled so you'll need the 5SFE's auto ECU to control it. 4. The BGB's at celicatech will be your best resource: http://www.celicatech.com/imagearchive/bgbonline/bgb.php#6th This post has been edited by WannabeGT4: Oct 11, 2006 - 10:15 PM --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

How are you going to run the 3sgte engine off the 5sfe ECU? I am pretty sure you will need a standalone computer to do it. Edit: nevermind, I just read the threads that you posted. Interesting approach. I think its going to be tricky.
