I am also in the first stages of replacing the 3S-FE in my ST162 with a 3S-GTE. As far as the starter motor is concerned, I heard this: "3s-gte engine needs a 3s-fe tranny, as the starter is on the tranny side other then the 3sge engine side." I'm glad i have the 3S-FE transmission, and i'm going to try to mate the old automatic trans with the new engine, however I also heard: "To make this work with the 3S-FE transmission, you need the PRESSURE PLATE (and flywheel) from the 3S-GTE."
I'd rather get a new transmission, but this one is recon only 6 months ago! new one would be either out of a toyta camry V6 (A541E, ~$1500) or an MR2. I'll tell u how it all goes later.
