Any do a 2.0 swap and leave the 1.5L Tranny in and have no issues? What are you guys using for a clutch to hold the power??

i am doingit as we speak. i am not sure wat one to use either.

Just don't, find the f5m33 (turbo dsm trans) and get the turbo mirage axles. You will be 10,000,000x better off. You'll never find a clutch that will hold it and if by some freak chance, a "touched by god" moment, you do find one, the trans will explode because they were never made to handle more than 100hp. Imagine what the stock 200hp 63t will do to it, then imagine what a modded 300hp 63t will do to it.

I have a dsm turbo tranny with dsm fwd axles. Will those axles work? The car was a 1.5l car. Now has a 63t in it. Will I need a new slave for the dsm tranny? And also the linkage is dofferent correct?

You will need to cut the shift arms off (dremel through the weld bead) of the 1.5 trans and weld them onto the dsm trans for your current shifter to work correctly. Dsm fwd axles won't work if you plan on turning at any point in time (too long, will bind when turning). You'll need to use a dsm slave cylinder but it's a direct swap for the 1.5 slave cylinder. You'll need to use a different trans mount, either from an original turbo mirage or have someone cut/weld the 1.5 trans mount and add the correct step into it to make it work on the dsm trans.

Thanks for the info!


The 1.5 axles will work correct?

That's iffy at best, again, 1.5l axles were meant for the 92hp engine and if they do work, you'll have massive torque steer due to unequal lengths. If you sneak in the 1.5l axles when exchanging them for the mirage turbo axles from carquest, they're less than $200 and they fit perfectly and are the best parts for the application.

ok while i stumbled across this thread i have a 4g37 trans laying around and was thinking about trying that as an option. I also have 2 fwd turbo trans i am just wondering if it would work and how much torture i could put it through as we have 3 dsms at the track now and i have some spare parts...opinions? comments? info so on...*cough*mecha*cough*

A 4g37 trans? I'm guessing it would bolt up but no idea on the axles. It's just another trans meant to take all of 100ish horsepower, I doubt it would last long behind a 63t.
