Hi guys.
I have a problem. (99 Celica GT MT) My tranny (?) keeps on slipping... I am not sure exactly why or what to even check.... I lose power in 1st gear, 2nd, and most of the time when I'm in 4rd or 5th gear, I press the pedal down and it feels like I'm back in 3rd or 4th gear respectively. Maybe my clutch? I dunno... If anyone has an easy fix to it, please enlighten me. Otherwise that, if I have to purchase another clutch or something pricey, I want to just swap to the 2grfe as planned. For now, I will purchase the E153 tranny (year 2000; it was only $400 tested). I wanted to know if the E153 tranny could be used for my stock GT engine..at least until I get the 2grfe engine (and all of its components). I am assuming I will need the following with the tranny...please verify... Inner shaft = MR2 Turbo (year 2000) Outer shaft = Camry V6 (year 2000) Do I need a GT4 mount? Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advanced! |

newer E153 have different inners, you'll have to either get custom axles made or take a regular MR2 inner to get machined to fit in the newer trans.
you will need rear and driver side mounts from a ST205, you'll need ST205 cables, and you'lll need a lot of patience as it will take forever to reach any kind of speed. 0 to 60 on a celica is what ? whatever that is times 2 it'lll be your new 0 to 60 time. --------------------  |

ya it'll slow you down. its geared for a v6(go figure? lol) not a 4cyl with much less torque.
it will bolt on to your 5s. you need an st205 rear mount, and you need 91 camry v6 outer axles. in not sure if 2000 wont work though.. you will need st205 shift cables -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

ok.
Thanks for the information guys. I will prolly not put the E153 in.. I'll just get a new clutch.....for now.. Can't wait till I get the 2grfe (and all components needed for my swap). Anyone in SoCal particularly South Bay that wan't to volunteer and help out with the swap? I see so many members near me on the new MAP app...I'll see you guys around...
