im guessing it's too expensive to do that...he can get a new car for what he'll spend onswaps and turbo... no more mods to the V6 dude...(at least not that hardcore)

 

The engine i found is a 3.2 TL sitting around 35k guy wants $1,800. I can put it in myself i got a shop. however my question still remains... how good is the engine if i slip in its trans in as well? If its a good one then like i said i'll turbo it. Should only cost me $900 i can build the piping myself and get it tuned. And no its not too expensive.... if you look around enough and know the right people. I just want to know if its worth doing the job or if its a complete waste of time cuz i dont know howTL engines perform wether they bolt or wind up.

 

No. The tranny sucks. The engine is fine, so IDK why you are looking at the 3.2 engine. If you want to make power with a 6th gen, you MUST have MT.

 

So what your saying is don't even bother with the car and get a new one right?

 

Start with 5-7 grand in your pocket. I looked into all of the options and now I have a Scion as a result of my tranny carpping out at 90k.

 

What exactly happened to the tranny?

 

So should i just get rid of this car and get a new one??

 

Typical 6th gen auto tranny death. Fine one day and a week later, dead! I'm told that the lip seals wore out which requires a new tranny or rebuild. The car just wasn't worth it to me. I had wanted to switch to something that I could make handle well over 1.0 G and also smaller and manual ..... now I have just that, and it's definately "work in progress"!!! I have about 4-5 open projects going on with it!


I can't make that call for you. You know that it has a cursed tranny, but if you like the car, it's your car. I just wish I had gotten out of mine before the tranny died .... it cost me about 3 grand on trade in, but I managed an awesome deal on the tC.

 

WOW 3g for the tranny!? im thinking of what to do w/ mine... i love it but you know... gas prices are killing me... Plus, ppl have already tried to steal my car!

 

lol!! you must have a really nice car=P
