3S-GTE transmission

[EEngineer]

i'm looking for a 3S-GTE swap sometimes in the near future

I'm wondering if the transmission that comes with 3S-GTEs will work with camry.
Apparently it's a AWD all-trac transmission.

Will that work out?

the awd tranny won't work

the differential is different (obviously) since it has a drive shaft linking to the rear differential

what kind of tranny would work with the 3s-gte on the camry then?

[Eye8Pussies]

the e153 from the mr2, which has shorter gears than the e153 from the camry

so the E153 from MR2 and any 3S-GTE should work

tnx for the info man

yup yup...then the hard part is the wiring and the rear motor mount and carrier bearing that has to be made

Is it a lot easier to swap if i find a 3S-GTE with a FWD E-153 attached to it already?

Duh

You can try and snag an e-x53 series transmission from a 93-2001 v6 Camry, that will make your life a whole lot easier.

The early 92-93 Camrys had the e-53 and the 96+ had the e-153 I think, I'm not too sure which years had what transmission. The solara v6 transmission will work too.

the 3sgte is a tough swap mostly because the rear motor mount doesn't fit....so a custom one must be made. and then wiring of course


and the e153 is 97+ the older e53 is basically identical, but the synchros are different....mostly said to be weaker

[EEngineer]

so if i find a 3sgte with a e153 on it...the worst part of the swap is the custom rear engine mount and the wiring.

hmm, that sounds good

now i just gotta save 4g
