4age swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #66361 13 posts Started by Zeros2
i was just wondering if it really matters if you use the tranny that comes with the 4age engine. i have a 97 st and i was just thinking about using the tranny that my engine comes with and i dont know if this would be a good idea. how long do you guys think it would hold up? or should i just use the 4age tranny? i dont plan on making alot of horsepower i just plan on swapping the 4age for a fun daily and then later on maybe beefing it up with new stronger parts when i get around to it.
use the tranny that is on your ST at the moment if it doesn't have any problems, keep the other one as a back up or sell it to make some money back. is almost the same tranny, but the 4age one is an older version,
yeah they are pretty much the same. i agree with culpable.. sell it if you feel comfortable with the st tranny. or if not.... just keep the other as a backup

so the 4age will bolt right up to my st tranny? and i was wondering what kind of work would i have to do to my axles if i wanted to turbo or would i be tempting fate to leave them like they are now?

how much power are you trying to put down?

nothing big i just want to run maybe 10 psi or so.
celica st tranny only tops out at 118mph or so not fast. but with 4age assuming you have blacktop with 165hp. top speed would be reached easily. is the length of the gears that's on 4age tranny the same as 7afe tranny.

i would have a silvertop for sure, and yes i would be reaching that on the track so will the tranny hold up with that or should i just get the 4age tranny put in?

Gearing is not the same. The 4AGE tranny has much shorter gearing and a higher final drive. 4AG tranny for optimal performance. Both trannys are the same thing, C-5x series trans. Strength-wise, they are essentially the same.

x2. I have to agree with Kwanza on that one.
so the 4age tranny will mount in the same place without modifications right?
direct drop in zero. and theres nothing else to say. so easy swap for st celica's smile.gif
