Celica 94 GT 5sp /// swap to 3sg ????? Options

[y2komar]

What’s up everyone.
I know there a lot of post in regards to this topic but I am new to this and I don’t seem to find the right info.

I have a 94 gt 5 speed hatch.

Has anyone done the swap from 5sfe to 3sg.

Can I keep my tranny? (Has anyone kept it?)
Let’s assume I can find the 3sg engine for about 1500 with ecu and hardness cut.
How much more will I need.

I am on a tight budget.
How about the 4wd tranny form a gt-4. How will that tranny fit a fwd car. Will it fit?

If one of you guys have done the swap hit me up with a link to a write up or something that will help me make a better decision.
thanks

art (lagos) is using the stock GT tranny (s54) and has been for a couple years now with no issues, as have i on my 230+whp 5sfTe setup for over a year, with no issues.
IMO its all about the condition the tranny is in BEFORE you swap.
if the tranny grinds or anything like that at all before you swap, plan on having problems down the road.
for art, and i, we both had good working trannys to start with, and they both continue to prove reliable for us both.
