I am looking to do my swap real soon but I want to find a economical way to find a new tranny. My stock tranny has over 300k miles on it and doenst shift very smoothly anymore. Would it be reasonable to find a low KM tranny at the local junkyard from a 5GC (6GCs are RARE in my city) and mate it with a 3SGTE? They are both S54 trannys right?

No they are not the same transmission. The 5th gen GT or GT-S has the s53 trans while the 6th gen GT has the s54. Yes you can use it for the swap, but its weaker then the s54 transmission.
