Fresh & New, 3s-gte E153 Manual swap Options

[timdog1720]

Hey guy's plenty to "Bump". Lets start as the topic tile says Fresh and New on the topic of 3s-gte and E153 tranny swap....

Yea I know the trend is to say, " go read the forums" but lets be honest all of them are old and outdated info. (2002-2008) Its now 2011 need new posting for those of us that have just gotten into the 6g games. Also tho, it seems as if there is allot of conflicting forums out there. Has anyone actually (the old school guys), tried to erase your minds and look at it from a newbie prospective..........? Let me tell you that stuff gets really confusing everyone’s opinion on every thing but never a definitive answer, yet even more confusing.


So I said that to say this Lets start fresh and new for the newbies like myself and see if we can actually educate people instead of sending them off to old blogs because you’re either lazy too answer or just really selfish with your knowledge. Come on guys we suppose to brothers in this little union club, which I think is pretty awesome for a dying generation of automobiles. And this applies to all subjects’ not just 3sgte e153 swaps....................................

Disagree. The info is there. I'm no mechanic but I've now completed an engine swap without ever leaving this site. Never even went to Google. I never posted once in any other swap thread to ask questions. I browsed the other threads, got the answers I needed, and posted in my own thread when problems came up and rather than sitting around and waiting for this community to figure out why a car they've never seen won't run, I searched more threads and found relevant information. And when I couldn't find the information I needed, I can name a list of people who were more than happy to take my phone calls and help me out. Like Andrew said, these cars aren't new. Don't assume that just because you have a question, you must be the first person in the world who has ever had that specific question. Any question you can come up with has been asked on 6gc and answered at least a dozen times. It's just a matter of taking the initiative to look for it.
