Questions on tranny and cables for 3s swap, lots of pics including engine bay remodeling Options

[celicaracer18]

Ok my first question is about the shifter cables needed for a 3sgte swap into a ST

i have always been told that i can't use the ST cables, and i have to use GT cables
well i have GT cables but the plastic coating is coming off and they are not in good shape

i was camparing the ST and GT cables but the only difference i can see is the bracket, so could i use my ST Cables

here are some pics side by side










second ? is is this a MR2 LSD tranny








here is my new engine bay, still in the works






lastly where can i get anew one of these

When using the E153 transmission, you need to use ST205 shifter cables. GT cables are for the 5sfe and 3sge transmission. Also you'll need to get a rear engine bracket from an ST205 for that transmission.

If you use the GT cables on the 153 you'll have problems shifting into certain gears.

You need to take a picture of the rear of the transmission to clearly tell if it has LSD or not.
