Trans swap question

[XeRo662]

So I love the punch and low end torque my gf's 3.0 V6 has. My questions is, is there a manual transmission that will swap into the 3L? I have a celica body and a Lotus fetish I need fixing.

i know there was a manual 1MZ in the gen 4 Camry. But i don't think it was even an option on the gen5. If you could source a manual tranny from a gen 4 i guess its possible. But it def wouldn't be cost effective.

the gen 5 camry V6 (3.0/3.3) was never offered in a manual....
however, the gen 4 camry 3.0L/ gen 1 solara 3.0L V6 (same engine, minus VVTi unless a 2002-2003, then its the same engine) was offered with a 5 speed manual...
ive seen them swap into MR2s plenty of times...no reason you couldent shoehorn one into a celica, provided it isnt the last gen celica.

what if I have a 4cyl 5-speed?will 1mz bolt to tranny?
