okay.. transmission swap time.. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #55422 3 posts Started by stephen_lee
so i have a manual ST(black) and an auto ST(red). both 94s. im wondering if i can switch motor and tarnsmissions between the two. so i have the motor and transmission from the black car, in the red car and vice versa. along with all the wiring ecu and such. Just curious since i have both complete cars, if this is possible.

the red car is now my DD and black is reserved for my project. the black motor is in much better condition, too.

yes you could swap it all over. it will take some work though. just read the stickies. i would just swap the trannies since the black car has the better motor and that's the car you want for your project
unless you are planning a 3s swap then i would swap the whole motor and tranny set up to the red one and leave the black one an empty shell.
what are your plans for the black car? turbo? 4age swap? is it worth the time to swap it all over? are you planning on a 3s?

well the motor in the black car is much healthier. and right now the black car is going to get a 3vz swap eventually, but untill then i need it drivable so i can get all the body work done.
unless i can find the auto to manual conversion pieces before march.
