Topic #16242 15 posts Started by Akuza
ok for those of u who did do 3s or 3sgte with a camry v6 transmission
doesnt it make your car auto ? and did camrys really come with manual ?
or does it have to be jdm camry trans ?

cuz im thinking of doing 3s vvt with a camry trans but im not sure if they made some in manuals
they do make them in a manual, but they are rare.
iv always wanted to get my hands on one of those v6 camreys with a manual... espieclly the 2 door ones... >smile.gif>
sigh its gonna be a rare find then and pretty pricy i guess since theres not many

2 door camrys ?
Here in Wisconsin I've seen many of those godly two door V6 manual tranny Camrys....

no one would ever swap their tranny from manual to auto!

solara tranny is another option, but i hear that the gearing on it sucks and its not worth it.

there are quite a few people on here that are using a GT tranny with no problems (me! ), but if you are really paranoid, get the mr2 one swaped in.

Alrighty.... i guess its time to start practicing then
yeah, why would you want a bad ass engine hooked up to some pussy automatic anyway.
don't use the camry/solara tranny for the 3sgte... keoni on celica.net did and the gearing is terrible, the powerband on the tranny just doesn't match the engine.

you could do a 3sgte auto easily with a GT auto tranny if you got a standalone ECU... and actually that is a preferable option to many, lots of TT supras with mucho HP have autos, because you take out the human error in shifting... just let the computer do it.
