FS: S54 Curren Trany, for all you 3s swappers out there Options

[DustyBurns30]

...ok... thanks for pointing that out...

[Supersprynt]

[DustyBurns30]

yeah, he is.

[Chrobis]

the GT and GTS models. All im saying the tranny is no stronger then the GT tranny. So super its the same thing you have already that your freaked about going out.

[DustyBurns30]

actually its a hell of a lot stronger than the 5s-fe trany, what are you trying to do to me here?

[Chrobis]

its actually not... its the same tranny

[scothaniel]

It is nearly the same as the S54 found in the US - but with a few differences:

It has the same gears, input and output shaft as the US model, but the differential gear is different - giving the trans a higher final gear ratio. Since the US market likes the feel of torque, we got the lower gear ratio. The rest of the world gets more top end speed instead.

The drive shafts are also stronger.

There are some other differences, just by the different part numbers in each trans, but I haven't figured them all out yet (just got a copy of the EPC recently).

I was wrong about the clutch too - its part number is 31250-20250. Its only found on the SXV10 Camry (1995) in the US.

The Clutch cover is part number 31210-32130 and is found on tons of cars.

The Flywheel - 13405-74070 is only found on the 3SGE motor (which has the same crank as the 3SGTE motors)

The trans is a good match for turbo cars, since the higher gear ratio will allow you to actually use the gears (1st gear in the US trans is worthless), and run lower RPM on the highway in 5th gear. The gears are not quite as strong as the MR2 gears, but they can still take a lot of abuse (350+ hp).

[Chrobis]

I guess I stand corrected. you have the gear ratio's at all? and why would they make a tranny with different ratio's and the same tranny code?

[scothaniel]

From http://www.megaboost.co.uk/mr2/frames/techinfopage.htm

USDM - 4.176 final gear ratio
JDM - 3.944 final gear ratio

Also check out the max speed per gear:

_______ US _________________________________ JDM____________
5th gear (Rev Limiter): 126mph_______ 5th gear (6500 RPM): 142mph
4th gear (6300 RPM): 100.5 __________ 4th gear (7000 RPM): 122mph
3rd gear (6300 RPM): 78.1 ___________ 3rd gear (7000 RPM): 98mph
2nd gear (6300 RPM): 52.7 ___________ 2nd gear (7000 RPM): 67mph
1st gear (6300 RPM): 31.4 ___________ 1st gear (7000 RPM): 40mph

Though the 3SGE has a higher rev-limit, even if you pushed the 5S to 7000 RPM it still wouldn't reach the same speeds.

come on guys, you got the technical info from scott (the guy i bought the tranny from) on exactly what makes this tranny great for the swap. this is a great price.

[R-03]

[DustyBurns30]

[DustyBurns30]

[DustyBurns30]

I know this is an old post but did you ever get rid of the tranny?

[Defgeph]

It now resides in my engine bay.

[dans_st]
