-at least you have a MANUAL 5sfe tranny, I'm stuck with AUTO 7afe tranny...


**** I'm worried if they are actually gonna be able to put that bitch (engine) in my car....

...nobody in Chicago area has ever done this swap, I think that my best bet is to

ship it to Toysport for the swap?!? hmm whatya think
Your tranny on the 7AFE isn't going to be the only problem. >tongue.gif> You will have to get your current engine mounts removed and GT mounts welded in, then you have to get a GT axle installed, since an ST axle is a piece of cow ****, and on top of that our tranny's are pathetic, so your going to need a whole new one of those. Sole reason why i'm going 4A instead, but good luck.

... Supersprynt, it should bolt right up.

Yeah i kno it will bolt up as long as u use the 5sfe disc and 3s pressure plate and flywheel, what im asking is with the added power of almost 100hp, is the tranny going to last a until the end of the year, as long as i dont beat the crap outta it.

read that whole post, it is about a 6th gen with a 2nd gen 3sgte stroked to 2.2 liters and making well over 400hp WITH THE STOCK GT TRANNY.
