after owning this car for 3 years and a half I decide to get a 3s swap. I was getting evrything little by little but today I got most of the stuff.
just wanted to share my new stuff
a complete st205 3sgte w/ harness and ecu
ACT clutch
mr2 e153 tranny (ill use this one for now)
gt4 e154f tranny (ill keep it you never know when you gonna go AWD lol)
st185 axles (brand new)
mr2 turbo axles
all engine mounts (came with the engine so no need to hunt for these)
and to brake this thing I got a pair of GT4 calipers with rotors =)

Clean!!!

Damn those are big. Nice stuff.

the MR2 tranny will need to be modified to work, the shift linkage is on the opposite side. now what you can do and i highly suggest this, is take the transfer case off the ST205 tranny, use the MR2 differential, and cover plate and now you have a tranny that has the linkage on the right side.

Very nice! Man you get yours done before I do, I might be nagging ya for some help =P

Yeah i know.it has to be modified because the shift cables on the mr2 comes from the.other side but how sure you are that the transfer case from the st205 fits the e153?

No problem man!

looking nice man...so when does the fun part begin...aka, project thread ^_^

So can anyone confirm 100% that i can use the transfer case from the st205 in the mr2 e153 tranny?

oo nice I like!!! I have yet to feel the power of a fwd 3sgte celica!

if i recall correctly the E153 is for FWD/MR cars(minus linkage differences) and the E154F is for AWD's i also read on one of the gt-4 sites of people doing as smaay said, i believe there is write ups on it if some searching is done. good luck glad to see another 3s!, soon enough everybody hope my business picks up i can get a XB for my DD/mobile detail rig and use the celi for my project.

or you can just take the shifter linkage from the gt4 tranny, install on the mr2 tranny, and done.

But will be easier if i just swap the gt4 trausfer case for the mr2 correct? Because if i only swap the shifter linkage i will need to drill new holes on the mr2 tranny to mount the gt4 linkage. Just under the engine mount.

You would rather swap the whole case than drill two holes?

Jeez man! You could eat off that its so clean! What did you use/do to clean?? Details!
