Toyota gurus need your opinion- Gearbox question

[Ricky99]

Ok so I am getting into the toyota game and doing an auto to manual swap in my celica very soon but I cannot decide which gearbox I want to use.

The engine is a 3sge in a celica fwd.
Gearbox A came out from the same type of engine that I have in my car right now but I noticed that it redlines at 7200 rpm.

Gearbox B came out of a 4sfe camry but the power is rated at 125hp@6000rpm while my 3sge outputs about 170hp@7200 rpm.

Now both gearboxes lines up perfectly on the same engine so fitment is not an issue.

I'm leaning towards using the camry gearbox(gearbox B) because I think I might get better acceleration but I want to know if I am making the right decision. And another thing what would happen after I cross 6k rpm if I should go with gearbox B.

Thank you

check the gearbox code then have a look at the gear ratios on the link below.

^^ dais d problem I don't know the code.

checked on the gearbox too but not seeing anything.

did some research and someone said that the camry 4sfe gearbox (B) would top out at 5000rpm.

besides that any local tuners ever gone through this before?

i think most 2nr would leave well enuff alone and use the 3s box and use the regular changes to get the accel ie plugs,wires,intake,lighter oil,
