    Hi everyone

    I was just wondering if anyone has any info on swapping an MR2 3sgte into a st162. Or knows of anyone who has done it. Or links etc

    Thanks

    yea, its been done, first off you'll need a new tranny unless you like converting the shift control arms

    any FWD 3s trans will work some better than others.

    I have a full write up on the conversion of the MR2 gearbox and considering i will have the old 3sge box i will be able to convert it to FWD easily. Does anyone know of any write ups or pictures of this conversion?

    Thanks

    3SGE tranny doesnt work without a custom starter set-up.

    sorry that doesn't make much sense i'm gonna convert the shifter linkages on the mr2 tranny to face the right way using the shift linkages out of the st162 box. that way i'll be able to use the stronger mr2 box

    he means the 3sge gearbox has the starter under the exhaust manifold.....which will interfere with the turbo if you were to mate it up to a 3s-gte. You need to put it on the other side like the fe gearbox....or use a gte gearbox from an alltrac and block off the rear output shaft
