V6 Camry Manual Transmission??? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

REAPER STRAIN · 08-09-2005, 09:04 PM

I have been looking but cant seem to find the answer to this question.

Which manual transmission does the 92-94 Camry come with? I have seen ppl doing this upgrade but havent seen which tranny they used. Because the tranny option was so rare I cant find any reference to it in the Haynes manual or the Toyo Service Manual.

I know is it not the same manual transmission that is used for the I4 but I cant find any other reference to any other camry manual transmission. Please help.

thanks

E153 for a V6

Hey thanks. Can you tell me a lil more about this tranny? Whether its used in another car. What other parts I may need if I wanted to do a swap.
thanks again

its used in the V6 camry and the toyota MR2. It has a limited slip differential, which the 4 banger tranny does not. Its a five speed.

E153 in a Camry does not have a LSD. You can buy a aftermarket one though (Cusco, Kaaz, Quaife).

E153 in MR2 Turbo is available with LSD.

Tranny from MR2 won't work as is though. It needs to be modified.

So ur saying my 93 3vz-fe spd comes stock with an E-153 tranny? and i wont need to buy one? Took a load right off my hands if thats true.

^ Yup, you have a E153 tranny.

^i wasn't saying there was no work involved, i was just saying its used there (in the MR2).

shift linkage is on the wrong side, you can get away with a fwd housing. also although the bolt pattern is the same, there are less bolts on the camry engine (i think)

the e153 shares quite a bit with the r154 which is a rwd version which comes in lots of toyotas so yeah, youre all good to go for making a 1000hp gearbox :P

thought that the V6 Camry (3vz-fe) came with the E53 not E153. The E153 is the updated version with dual cone synchros...In fact, I beleive that the 3rd Gen camry only offered the E53.
