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

I'm using GT cables on the E153 and its possible with the use of spacers in certain areas but if you can get yoru hands on an ST205 set use those.

Best bet for checking if the transmission has LSD is to look in axles holes. A bar=OEM LSD, if you see something like a washer in the middle its aftermarket LSD. If you can see straight through with no problem its an open differential.
