After 3 days of driving the car, my 5sfe tranny blew a hole in itself monday night.

This means i need to:
a.) rebuild my existing tranny ($1500)
b.) Get a 3SGE tranny and put that in ($$)
c.) Jump off a cliff

Well im leaning towards B. The 3sge will bolt up to the 3sgte engine, and it holds more power. I was going to do the tranny swap next summer, but its gotta come sooner now.

Everyone doing the 3sgte swap, start sourcing ur new tranny even if you do have the GT, cuz i never went above 80mph in the car with the 3s and it blew when i was doing 65.

Man, that's really bad luck. frown.gif I've seen a sixth generation GT with the stock tranny and 450+ horsepower that wasn't having any tranny problems.

Anyway, I'd suggest calling a company like Jarco or Storm Performance or Venus Auto and seeing if they can get you a low-miles 3S-GE tranny, because I'm guessing that they'll be able to, and it should be able to take the boost just fine.

If you have $6,000, you can always get a six speed HKS tranny that's designed for the 3S-GE. tongue.gif
