Is a 3sge and a 5sfe clutch kit compatible?

[clem]

Hey guys my clutch is shot in my mr2 and just wanted to know if these would work with one another?

[TheEngineer]

nope, completely different

[mrturrari]

Actually I have seen a few people use 5sfe clutches on a 3sge. If however you meant 3sg"T"e then no they are completely different.

[not12listen]

i speak from personal experience: the 5sfe and 3sge clutches are identical.

i know this because i have a 3sge in my aw11 and i am using a 5sfe clutch kit.

even the flywheels are the same, UNLESS you get an 86 or 87 3sge, which uses 6 bolts to connect to the crank, whereas the 88 and 89 uses 8 bolts to connect to the crank - which is the same as the 5sfe. the flywheels are the same diameter as well.

if you wish to check for yourself, i fully encourage you to check the following website:

compare the 88 or 89 Celica GTS to the 90-95 Mr2 non-turbo.

as 'MrTurrari' pointed out, the 3sgte clutch (and flywheel) are NOT the same as the 3sge/5sfe - the 3sgte being considerably larger flywheel, and the 3sge clutch pressure plate does not match up to the dowel pins on the flywheel.

i know this because i bought, what i thought was, a 3sge flywheel and clutch. clutch did not fit. bought another clutch, thinking i got the wrong one. still did not fit with the 2nd clutch. got the correct flywheel and both clutch kits fit.

oops my bad, for some reason i was thinking 3sgte not 3sge
