hi everyone.i nedd some info so please help me.me and my friends are building a toyota starlet with 3sgte engine and i need to tell me what tranny shall we use and all the front systems such as the motor mounts, the steering and generarly all the front stuff.
You might have better luck on Starlet forums or a general Toyota forum. >wink.gif>

But I think most people use the S-54 or E-153 tranny for their FWD 3S-GTE-swapped Celicas.

New Toyota project coming soon...

ok.from what cars these trans are??thanks for your info
The USDM sixth gen. Celica GT(ST204) has the S-54 tranny. The fifth generation Celica GT/GT-S might have the S-54 as well, or it might be the S-53(which also works, but I think is weaker.) The SW20 MR2 Turbo has the E-153 tranny I believe.

one last question.do you know if any lexus model has the 3sgte engine??
unless they're thieves... but no i believe no lexus models do not have a 3sgte engine.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
so if i deside to do my celica rwd with the 3sgte engine and turn the engine vertically what tranny shall i use??

If you were going to go about doing that...you'd want use the Altezza's tranny I think. Though it's not easy by any means to convert a FWD Celica to RWD.

You'll need the W series Toyota RWD trannies (RWD Celicas, Supras, Trucks, etc...) if you're doing a longitudinal set-up. If you don't know what's involved... you're already in WAYYY over your head...
