I am in the process of saving up for a 3sgte, but my car is automatic. I am going to switch it to a manual before i get the 3sgte...just because i hate driving an auto....but would it work to just try and buy a 3sge or another higher power transmission and put that on my 5sfe motor until I can get my 3sgte. I also want to upgrade my suspension and brakes and other stuff before i get that 3sgte power in my car.

Yep, you can put a 3S-GE tranny from a front wheel drive, front engine car(ST202 Celica, Toyota Curren, etc.) on with no problems. It'll bolt right up to the 5S-FE.

sure you can do it, but why not wait till you do the swap? it will save you on labor costs to take the stock engine and tranny out and put all the new stuff in at one time.

taking the engine out now and swapping the tranny then having to take the engine out again is kind of a waste.

for once i actually agree with 97sccelica

he is right too

try to get a 3s-ge tranny. i think "scothaniel" has one. try iming him.

For sure man, just get the front clip. You might need to go to the junkyard for some other parts (correct me if im wrong). But youll get all the right parts from the clip> =saving time and $$.

Good Luck and have fun >>

will the accessories to work the 5spd from a rhd car work on a lhd?
