Pics are up of Tranny!!!...JDM Tranny question, Kind of a noob question I would guess. Options

[str8thugginit4ya]

There's this guy selling a tranny for my 5SFE right where I live for about $200 with only 50,000 miles on it. (Is that a good deal?) The tranny came off a JDM engine, I beleive it was a celica also. I was just wondering if the JDM tranny would be compatible with the clutch kit and flywheels over here? The reason I am trying to get hold of a tranny, is because my 3rd gear is grinding like CRAZY. I tried the synchromesh fluid like everyone else on hear, but unfortunately, my results didn't come out as good as everyone elses did. My synchro in third gear shot, and now I drive with out a third gear (for the majority of the time). Please let me know if I would be able to use this tranny on my engine as I would be very happy if it does work.

Thanks to the 6gc community in advanced for the help, Ryan


EDIT: Here are some pics of the tranny. I checked it out, and it seems to be the correct one. I don't know if you guys can tell if it's the right one just by looking at it, but here you go.






I know it's very dirty, but I'm gonna use some HEAVY degreaser and clean it up. Any certain way I should attempt to try and clean it, or just some Purple Power and a pressure washer will do????

That transmission looks like it's been sitting outside for a very very long time. All of the rust and corrosion on there makes me think you need to look elsewhere for your transmission.

I would pass on that thing. It looks like its been sitting for a while and could have issues.

From the electrical connector on there... id say that this is a 4th gen celica trans (st162). Those came with a 3sge engine (not the cool beams you might be thinking of) and are generally not anything special or jdm. Just an old rusty tranny from the 80s.

This is not the e153 mr2 trans, not an awd trans, and it doesn't have lsd.

I agree with both of them. I'd pass, too. That tranny looks pretty beaten.
