That's the set of 2 for the front doors. You can find a set of 4 on amazon also.

 

You can download a generation 3 factory service manaul at the top of the Camry forum over at AutomotiveForums.com.

Thanks for the info guys...Mike that's exactly what I was looking for.

Still looking for these questions answered:
2) I understand the 96 engines are (or CAN be) different from other years of this generation...something to do with a wire coming out of the timing cover leading to the alternator. The older engines can be used, but you might need to replace oil pump and timing cover??? Please help elaborate on this issue.

3) How difficult is it to replace these motors? Any specific tips or threads anyone can share would be great (search function doesn't see to br getting me any results)!!!


I did my own clutch in a 92 Toyota PU truck...how much more difficult to replace this motor? It's not my daily driver, so I'll be able to take my time, and I'll have some backup, but is this something I should attempt myself, or am I looking for trouble? I can get it done for $300, but if I can handle it, I'd rather not spend the money. Any tips for doing this so I don't F things up too badly?
