I have a 96 ST Celica (AT200, 7afe, C52 trans) with just over 81k miles that I have owned for over 10 years. A while back 3rd gear began to grind... as you can imagine 3rd got worse and now it pops out of gear. So, third gear is gone, it's not just the syncro. My questions start with:

How hard is it to pull/rebuild the C52?

Does the C52 come out the top, or the bottom?

IF, even with the low miles, it isn't worth the time/money to rebuild, are there other, better transaxle/transmission options than the C52 that will bolt up to the 7afe and into the ST without modifications?

IF the C52 is the only/best tranny, are there C52's in cars other than the Celica that will bolt up?
