psuPbikeRider88 · 05-28-2009, 04:10 PM

depending on the transmission you are using you can buy any 5s of 3sgte lightened flywheel

if you are using the mr2 NA (or standard beams tranny) you can buy any 5sfe (mr2 NA) lightened flywheel

if you are using the turbo lsd transmission you can use any 3sgte lightened flywheel...

I tried both and they work just fine

I thought that the 5s flywheel had a different bolt patern. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info.

cool, My car uses the lsd tranny, so i guess ill look for a 3sgte flywheel... does the same go for the clutch?

You need the 5sfe disc, it has the correct spline size for your gearbox assuming our using the s54, so I am using:
3SGTE Turbo Lightweight flywheel
3SGTE Turbo Pressure Plate
OEM Toyota Beams Clutch disc(or any other 5sfe disc stock or aftermarket)

&

option 1:
Pressure plate, flywheel from 3sgte
disc and throw our bearing from 5sfe

option 2: would be to call a clutch manufacture and have them sell you a 3sgte pressure plate, 3sgte flywheel, and custom make a clutch plate and what your going to want to ask for is for them to take a 3sgte disc and mate it to 5sfe splines so you get the larger surface area of the 3sgte disc with 5sfe compatibility.

DCKilla · 05-29-2009, 09:34 AM

I was going the same route with the 3sgte flywheel and pressure plate, 5sfe clutch disk, and s54 tranny. I almost got spooked for a minute thinking I asked for the wrong parts.

psuPbikeRider88 · 05-29-2009, 07:10 PM

what do you guys suggest as far as valve springs go? I'm looking for something that is a little bit stiffer than stock, but i dont want anything crazy that is going to beat the hell out of the valves and seats over time. Thanks

psuPbikeRider88 · 08-16-2009, 03:14 PM

Ok, I just wanted to clear up some info on the whole flywheel subject for the beams motor. Rather than start a new thread, I figured I'd just bring this one back. I have found that the retop that came in my car was origionally a beams mr2 motor. It has the little block off plate where the celica altenator would go, etc. I have 2 questions...
1) Is there a way to verify by the serial number or some sort of ID number on the trans that it actually is the beams tranny?
2) Do I need to upgrade the clutch as well, or can I just stick to getting a flywheel? My clutch is in good shape, and im not a fan of the feel that you get from an aftermarket clutch.
thanks for all the help guys

you can use both 3sgte and 5sfe flywheel (stock or aftermarket) without any problem, I used both during the last 3 years

same for clutch, it only depends on the transmission and flywheel you are using

example if you use a 5sfe flywheel you need to use a 5sfe clutch kit
if you use a 3sgte flywheel you can use a 3sgte clutch kit OR 5sfe clutch disc with a 3sgte pressure plate and 3sgte flywheel...

flywheel and clutch can be mixed but clutch disc need to be the same as the transmission you are using (input shaft is not the same depending on the transmission)

concerning the clutch if yours is in good shape and you drive normally, keep your clutch and that's it

psuPbikeRider88 · 08-16-2009, 03:29 PM

so if I keep my clutch and am just looking to upgrade the flywheel, I am looking for a 5sfe flywheel? (assuming my trans is the beams trans)

yes if you keep your clutch make sure your transmission is a s54 (all year non-turbo mr2 or beams tranny) and then buy a 5sfe flywheel

psuPbikeRider88 · 08-16-2009, 03:35 PM

ok, cool. Now is there a special code or anything in the I.D. / serial number that will tell me if it is an s54?

If you have the VIN plate of the car the BEAMS engine came from then it will say it on there. Mine was ST202-blablabla Super White bla bla M/T Trans. Code S54 Aisin or some crap.
It says it on the tranny on one of the sides as well, pretty big letters "S54" or E153 if its the turbo tranny....but I doubt that you will have the turbo tranny...

psuPbikeRider88 · 08-18-2009, 10:27 PM

Ok, I took a breif look at the tranny today, and could not see anything on it. Is it written on it, or "engraved?" (for lack of a better term) Where abouts on the tranny is it? Ill have to take a closer look at it tomorrow. thanks

I think the word you are looking for is "stamped"
I have a pic some place with where it is, I never looked myself, but I'm sure it's there. I've seem some tranny's at the Toyota dealer & could clearly make out a stamping of numbers on it....
It might indeed be in some awkward place only small asian folks can get to....Anyone chime in on this? Location of model/code on transmission?

puretone · 08-19-2009, 06:56 PM

Something like this:

psuPbikeRider88 · 11-23-2009, 02:24 PM

ok, my trans definately does not have a plate like that on it. After cleaning it up a litle bit i found the number 71210039 stamped into it right on top along the "lip" of the tranny right where it bolts to the motor. It also has the number 51 written on it in pink marker, although im sure thats just from some motor shop that had it at some point. Other than that I see no other markings on the trans, and i have looked a few times. I noticed that when I look into the part where the axles go that I cannot see through it. There is some sort of metal thing going straight across it. Any Ideas? I really want to get this figured out so I can order a flywheel and get my car running this winter when I'm on break. Thanks!

p.s. Could I tell somehow by looking at the clutch?
