Stub axle question

cryon · 08-24-2006, 10:59 AM

hi!

I am from hungary and new in this forum.
My Bro owns a ST162 Celica, and he bought a RED-TOP BEAMS engine from japan for swap with LSD tranny, ecu, wiring, ect. Its came from an MR2. The Celi has an old 1st gen 3SGE with T-VIS.
Only problem is, that he didnt get the stub axles with the BEAMS engine.
Anyone from you know which type of axles would fit to it?
Do we need to get a pair of axles from a MR2 turbo - which has the same(?) LSD tranny like the BEAMS - or do the ST162 stock Axles will do the trick?

Thanks to anyone, who may answer!

The LSD Beams motor uses its own axels and therefore any 3SGTE axels will not fit the LSD box, having said that Ive only seen the axles on a Non-LSD MR2 with 3SGTE not a MR2 3SGTE with LSD. The BEAMS box is a S54 so you may or may not get away with using axels from another S54 box but the ends of the splines are different as they must fit into the LSD, cant remember the name of the ends.

I know my old axles from my S53 box on my 5SFE did not match up!

Plate Codes:

ST202 BEAMS Trans / Axle: S54 / -06A
ST184 5SFE Trans / Axle: S53 / -472

Hope that helps!

The axles from my old engine (Gen 2 3SGE + gbox) appeared identical to the axles I got with my SW20 beams LSD gearbox. The only difference was the new ones had rings for the ABS sensors.

I didnt bother having a particularly close look, but they appeared identical.

I would think that perhaps the axles are different for the S53 and S54 gearboxes, more so than type of engine bolted to it?
