3S-GTE Trannies, Worthy of the power Options

[Chrobis]

Well with super's recent problem it is almost a certain fact the stock GT tranny will crush under the pressure, so what options does everyone have? Could everyone please list in possible transmisions that can take the power? include what car they came from, and possibly their designation code. Maybe even list tranies that will bolt but wont last, I'll make a list in this post and keep it updated, maybe worthy of a sticky in this forum. Also include if the tranny comes with a LSD or if its available for it... Thanks.

Ready for the power (this can take almost anything you throw at it)
1. Camry v6/ Solara Code: E-153
2. MR2 Turbo Code: E-153 (used with 3s-gte) LSD included on 94+

Who Knows (bolts to a 3S-GTE, but it could work and it could fail)
1. Celica GT Code: S-54 (used with 5s-fe)
2. Celica SSII/SSIII Code:?? (used with 3s-ge) LSD available AM (this could be a different version of the s54!?)
3. Curren Code: ?? (used with 3s-ge) (this also is a different version of the s54, rumored to be stronger)

Cannot be Used (bolts to a 3S-GTE but won't work in a FWD Celica)
1. Altezza Code: ?? (used with 3s-ge) for RWD

Everything regarding the E153 into a FWD swap is all pretty much covered in the link I posted...

The following image should give a better explanation of the axles:



Super, now in your case, if you just get the tranny with no LSD, then you can use the standard MR2T inner shafts. But if later you decide to go with LSD, you'll need the MR2T inner shafts that's designed for LSD. But this is only if you go with the factory LSD. If you go with a Quaif or Kaaz LSD, I believe the make an application that will work with the standard MR2T inner shafts.

I hope this clears things up for you guys.
