F5SE to 3SGTE conversion (no ALLTRAC) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok, this may seem like I'm continueing the beating of the dead (and now rotting) horse but bare with me. I want to swap in a 3SGTE but keep my F5SE tranny or use an MR2 tranny (if thats a dirrect swap). Is that posible? Am I going to have to re-wire the entire bay? or will the ECU\stand alone fit my current harness. Will all the sensors fit my wire harness. I have checked all the current threads and i couldn't find anybody doing this, specifacally.

Swapping the engine need ECU and wiring harness from that engine. Gotta get it from same car. Different year/car engine maybe different and use different ECU.
Stock tranny is a bolt on. MR2 tranny might need drive shaft.

Also do a search in Celica, camry and MR2 forum. Too much info to retype.

Also, the MR2 tranny will need the shifter cable linkage removed and one from a Camry tranny put on (it's on the wrong side).

Or, you can use the Camry V6 5-speed tranny.

Also, if you want that swap done, I can do it for you: drtweak@phoenixtuning.com

JDLangevin, I know you wanna help with engine swap but he's in Ottawa Canada. Unless you wanna come up or got free shipping for the car, he can't get you to do the swap

Check thier location before you offer free swap

Thanks for the offer but Pineapple is right. Does anyone know of shops in eastern Canada the do this type of work? Also will 225hp end my trannies life? I dont plan on driving it hard all the time but want the power on tap.

Stock tranny is alright unless you keep dropping the clutch at 5k. Most Celica GT with 3S-GTE use stock tranny. Anyway run till the tranny die then ungrade.

I say, if you have the cash you should do the tranny swap along with the engine swap. If you don't have the cash, then you can stick with your current tranny.

turbo_GT · 02-08-2005, 03:30 PM

you can use your stock tranny..just upgrade the clutch..

Ka$h 92gt · 02-08-2005, 04:00 PM

Any suggestions for what clutch I should go for?

I suggest to go for the mr2 tranny while the motor is out.
you will save some money this way.
Im doing this tranny swap this spring so I can eliminate some of my traction probelms?
If you need an mr2 tranny I have one for sale.
Let me know.
