v6 Manual axles same as v6 auto axel for gen4?

[Phat Devil]

I am going to be doing the auto to manual conversion.

I know, from doing searches that the manual axles are different to the auto axles for the gen3s. I'm just wondering if this was the case for the gen4s too.

And do I need to change the wiring loom if I find a manual ecu.

Oh btw has anyone done a tranny swap on the gen4s?

Thanks in advance guys

the gen 4 swap is identical to the gen3 swap- we are using the e153 (most of us anyway) which is from the gen4/solara so long story short, NO the automatic axles don't even come close to fitting.

and if get a manual ecu no, you don't need to change your wiring harness. apparently it plugs right in.

Ok cool thanks mate

Pitty gen4 manual camrys are rare here, wreckers never see them . Might have to see if our gen5 v6 5sp have the same part numbers as there are more of those on the roads here. I know they used the e153s.

Gen4 manual FTW!

But I agree with you. I've been to a few junkyards looking for parts for my tranny.
Tons of camrys...all automatics....

australia would be a different story, but in NC- use car-part.com and expect to drive a couple of hours and you'll find one for sure.

I was even able to find several in toronto and we have pretty much all chinese ppl who drive automatic camrys there

Thanks for the link, man.

Also look for a manual trans donor 's lower left motor mount that sits on the subframe in the front wheel well.

the 2.2L has got the same manual trans and axle as the 3.0L?

that's the tranny mount with an extra plate that only the manual tranny has, and yes...you'll need that too, but most trannys don't come with it and you'll most likely have to get it yourself. you can find it in a pick and pull or a dealership if your tranny doesnt' have it.

and nope, both are different. the v6 axles are also literally twice as big as the 4banger ones...thus their ability to handle a ridiculous amount of power

Thanks for the replies. I'll be calling up all the junkyards to see if they have a manual camry.

Oh, i forgot to ask too, are the cv joints the same on both 5sp and the autos?

[Eye8Pussies]

if they are the two piece ones, then yes...you can reuse the outer axle

if it's the one piece half-shaft + axle, then no, they are different
