3sgte question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #36276 5 posts Started by 4wheelWOnder
Does anyone know if you can use a awd 3sgte transmission, with a 3rd gen 3sge???
not in a FWD celica, without serious modification.
well, actually, it WILL fit....but you'd be loosing 50% of the power thru the transfer case.

you actually could use it and make it work, i actually have a working awd transmission but you must correctly convert it to fwd and it is well explained at celicatech.com i will be using the awd tranny converted to fwd using the mr2 tranny transfer case cover and,..........a cusco lsd using the alltrac axles.
well i plan on using the awd tranny along with the drivetrain.....i am going to do an awd conversion in short, but that is why i was asking.....anywho. as far as mating it to the 3sge engine there shouldnt be a problem ..........right?

Mounting the motor to the tranny is no problem. Mounting the AWD parts is a problem - the floor pan it completely different and there are no mounts for the AWD parts in your Celica.
