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.

This is the reason why I also recommend not using the S54. I've seen that 6th gen using the S54, which Coomer mentioned, on the MR2 boards. I'm wondering if he's still using that tranny (I doubt it). I honestly think that the tranny was rebuilt during the swap. Super, I may be able to get you a E153 tranny with LSD. PM me and I'll see if my shop still has the tranny. -Ray |
