It's not, but it uses a transverse powertrain layout which is the same as a typical FWD layout. Since it's mid-mounted, it drives the rear wheels.
Also, the S53 isn't used on the MR2, the S54 is. The S53 was used on the 1990-1993 Celica and prior. For 1994-1999, the Celica also used the S54.
The S51 was used on the 3SFE/5SFE Camry up until 2001, not the S52. Toyota only changes the end number if a change in actual gear ratios takes place - the final drive doesn't count. For example, the S51 and S54 have completely different gearsets. Another example is the E350 from the tC and the E351 in the Camry; the E350 uses a 0.775 5th while the E351 uses a 0.731 5th.
(S52 5spd, FWD)
-CAMRY & SOLARA 6 cyl 3.0L 1992-93
-CAMRY & SOLARA 6 cyl 2.5L 1988-91
-CAMRY & SOLARA 6 cyl 3.0L 1993-99
-CAMRY & SOLARA 6 cyl 3.0L 2000-01
These are COMPLETELY inaccurate.
First off, the 2VZ was mated to the E52 or E56F2/E56F5 (AWD), then the 3VZ moved to the E53 (updated synchros and ratios). The 1MZ received the 1995 MR2's E153 with a longer final drive ratio for 1997-2001.
Typically, V6s have always used the E series transaxles, which are designed to take the extra torque. The same is true for supercharged or turbocharged 4 cylinders and AWD/4WD vehicles.
