    what advice are you looking for??

    it's broken down twice... so........ (obviously because u're running a 3S-GTE engine with a 3S-GE gearbox and thrashing the shit out of it daily?) is your car a GT-Four or simply an ST162 converted to a 3S-GTE?

    p.s. my advice is to sell it and get a better car for home delivery.. i found the ST162 isn't so good for delivery job, speaking from experience.. not much boot space, not so easily accessible, car itself isn't reliable for delivery job given its age, and some more you've got an alien engine that keeps breaking the gearbox. hmm..

    I think some of the guys who have done the 3SGTE conversion use the Camry SV21 gearbox.

    Possibly Meridian Motorsports - Toby.
    Wont be cheap though.

    A more common choice of gearbox for high powered 3SGTE FWD conversions is the SW20 MR2 turbo gearbox. Fair bit pricier though.
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    Tell your delivery guys to stop thrashing the shit out of it, the boxes are damn strong for what they are
