i have red some of the threads, i was wondering if anyone has changed out their fifth gear from a s54 to s51? was wondering if the rpm drop was drastic? also if anyone has completly re-geared their s54 from first thru fifth? the reason i ask is because my third gear grinds and the front shaft bearings sounds like its gone bad already. so since im going to crack it open was wondering if i can re gear it. aside from finding a lsd for it.

you can swap ONLY the 5th gear.
which will NOT require pulling the trans out Basically it should be: remove driver wheel drain fluid remove 5th gear cover remove 5th gea (will need a gear.pulley puller) install s51 5th gear reinstall cover add fluid install wheel -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
