I'm confused..., How to... Options

[Pandeo]

Yo!

I'm confused... in this forum, there a lot of information about 3SGTE Swap from an AT200 or STXXX, but nobody have a walktrough or someting like that...

So, there my plan for the swap, and I need your opinion to correct me if i'm wrong...

I have a AT200 Manual.

First Plan:
- Take 3SGTE from a celica GTfour 1990-93 with tranny
- Find an ECU(or maybe use an Halteck Module.. but this a lot of money...)
- I have a friend to do the wiring
- Tranny... well, this the problem! Witch one use? the 7AFE tranny is useless, I need to change it... but for witch one? Someone said to use the GT, but other people said is not enought tought...maybe with clutch kit? Some other People Talk about the MR2 XX-153(sorry, dont remember the letters) with part of the GTFour clutch /tranny..

This plan have two problems; find an ECU, and the overcost of bought another tranny, so I get 3 tranny(GtFour, 7AFE, GT or MR2)!

Second Plan:
- Take 3SGTE from a MR2 1990-94 with tranny
- Find an ECU(or maybe use an Halteck Module)
- I have a friend to do the wiring
- Tranny... well, this the problem! use the MR2 tranny(sorry, dont remember the letters) who come with the motor(but I'M not sure that is the right one-xx-153)
or bought an GT tranny

With this second plan, I Hope to save Tranny...

So, witch plan is the more realistic and cost effective? Where I Can find 3SGTE ECU for a resonable price(don't say Ebay, I've already watched...) How to convert or find a "/%&/"* tranny ?

I don't think 5th gen would work, just use a 6th gen GT tranny, I am pretty sure you can find it easily.

Check out taprecycling.com, Qatar reccomends it on his website

The other trannies are kinda hard to come by in america, but maybe in canada not sure, since it was kind of rare to see manual camrys and solaras

Or you can try to find the 5SFE engine and fine the tranny for that if you can't find the GT.

Also there is a lot of info in this forum if you do the search that should have clarified most of your confusion since I searched for hours and found great info.

ALso i talked to people in canada and they got the Celica GT also in other countries to....so just look harder
