gearbox problems

[BOBKAT]

Im changing my engine in my car to the 3SGTE. Im looking at putting the E153 V6 camry gearbox in my 88 Celica. Has anyone done this conversion or know of anyone thats done this conversion. Just wondering what drive shafts would have to be used.

i have that tranny on my 5sfe and the stock drive shafts work fine (my car is a 1991 gt-s)

As far as im aware the 5sfe has the same block as the 3Sgte, Correct me if im wrong. But, Are the drive shafts on the 91 the same as the ones on the 88 SX 3SGE. Also what year model/model number box will i need for my conversion.
Cheers,
Bob

im dunno if are the sme as the 88 to be honest...give it until night and someone (Pineapple?) might be able to answer this question. Otherwise come on celispeed.com and ask the question in the 5th gen section and you will get answers

Thanks for the link A Diddy. Will wait till tonight and see, Otherwise will check the other site.

my 88 gts that i had would accept the v6 axles at the hubs but they might have been too long, now the pass side stub shaft bracket is going to be a problem that bolts to the motor

Just bought the E153 box. My standard axles from the SX (GTS) wont fit into the box. The splines are deeper into the box compared to the SX and also the GT4 box. I think im gonna have to get the Camry inner stub and go from there. If anyone knows a better solution please let me know, Im stuck.

Hey Fred, What axles do you think will fit this.
