i have a gen 2 automatic with the 3sfe. i am contemplating the 3sge swap. my question is would my tranny be able to cope with the gen 1, gen 2, or gen 3 3sge? if so which one?

Run till it die before you swap. Asa long as you don't try to manual it all day long it souhld last a while. Only thing is you can't get all the power to the wheel due to the torque convertor.

do you mean run my current motor till it dies? haha i'd be waiting a loooooooong time for that! my motors only done 165,000km (103,000miles). pretty good for a 1991. thanks for the help guys.

Celica GTS's with the 3SGE and an Auto tranny used the same transmission as the 3SFE equiped camrys and celicas, so you should be fine.

I thought the 3s-ge/3s-gte never came in a automatic ??? There was never an ecu to control an automatic

I have a gts with an auto?

Gen4 celica GT-S's had an autotranny option. They used the same A140 tranny as the camry and celica ST's and GT's and the same tranny computer too.

its the same trans thats in my camry, Hey Steve, my other camry is a 5 speed, is this trans worth much?

Wraith · 02-06-2005, 07:50 PM

ooohhh my bat ... I know for sure that the 3s-gte doesnt have a automatic option

if you dont have a power-econo button on your center console, you have a mech. shift trans, you can then use a 5 speed ecu, it wont know the difference
