I have a 95 3sgte that is going in my 96 celica st. I decided to go with a celica gt tranny and I got a ACT stage two racing cultch kit. My car is being worked on right now but the guys working on it weren't sure if it was ok to run that clutch with a stock 3s pressure plate. They said I may need an act pressure plate, the only problem with that is that they don't make one for this model. So, is it ok to run an act 4 puck clutch with a stock 3s pressure plate? Also they said to make this run right I would have to get an FMIC that runs pipes in and out on the drivers side or it won't work right. I got a FMIC that runs in on one side and out on the other. Is it better to run a same side FMIC or is it ok to run a regular FMIC with in and out on opposite sides?

You NEED to buy a brand new presure plate, clutch and throw out bearing.
ACT can sell you everything you need, but you need to mix and match parts from the two different motors to make it work.

5sfe Clutch-stage2 (or higher)
5sfe Throw out bearing
3sgte Pressure plate

Then tell them to have your stock flywheel resurfaced and have them change out the Rear Main Seal (buy a new one from toyota) while they are doing the clutch.

If you cheap out on any of these, youll just end up kicking yourself later when you have to spend 500 bucks on labor again in a month or two.
