6-speed trannys???, anyone droppin 6-speed trannys into their car, or have... Options

If someone really wants a 6 speed, the only practical way I see is to put in a 2zzge with the 6 speed manual. Consumer Reports rates that 7th gen at 2425lbs, and the 6th gen at 2395lbs for coupe and 2415lbs for hatch back. With the similar wieght, it would be a worth while swap with 6 speed if you planned on a nice medium powered NA car.

when i was gonna do my engine swap.....(v6 camry motor) my uncle (who runs john brown auto parts) told me i would have to measure my axels to get napa to send the order out to get them made. so it is possible to make custom axels. and the guy that has the 6speed 3sgte is blckgt94 or blck94gt. one of those.

No and no...

The ONLY toyota FWD 6 speed is the C60/C160 traannies and those only bolt up to the A series engines. They are also useless on anything that doesn't peak power past 6000 rpms.

I am new to all this but does that mean I could take that tranny and hook it up to my '96 ST 7-AFE engine and have it work? Because I have always wondered if it were possible. If so, do you think it is worth the effort to do it?

Yes... the C60 from the 4AG blacktop can be fitted to a 7AFE... but... it'll be pretty useless cause the gearing is very short. There might be other issues with the tranny mounts and/or the shifter linkages and stuff... but those should be very small.

Use an e153 and you will have more gearing than you will ever use.. The only time I get over 4K RPM in 5th is when I'm a bit over 100mph... Like around 120mph... a 6spd is just nonsense fan boy dreaming.

note to self: use an e153, and if ever want to be amuzed, put on flame suit and post a message to kwanza that i wanna swap in a 6speed, very informative thread here, but i also laughed my a** off at all the bickering goin on here

has anyone dropped a 6-speed into their celica or if not can you??? if so on either, how much does it cost and where do i find it???

heres an idea for everyone...why doesnt someone just throw a 6-speend in a celi so we can call it a day and say it CAN be done..like fastbird said its for HIGHWAY USE and i agree with him 110%...im driving on the turnpike every friday and sunday and at 4k at only 80 mph is redicilous..when that damn honda pulls up next to you and your runnin at 70-80 miles an hour you wanna kill that bastard so an extra gear would be superb i cant stand runnin my car at 4200 for over an hour not to mention i can watch my gas gauge steadily drop ....the fact of the matter is..is that a 6th gear would make all the difference...lets get it done men!!!

"" Lets it get it done ""

thats the main problem, everyone is saying it, talking about it and not actually getting into the grits of it. No one will ever get a 6 speed in a Celica by just talking. If it would make your driving experience that much better, then it might just be time to sit down and do some research/planing/engineering and get it done !

no offense intended. i'm just pointing out that this thread has been all and only all about opinions and mostly useless information... and thats probably why this thread was buried for almost 4 months.


big props to the one that actually does it.
