the swap is easier if you take the entire subframe out and switch it all over. the thing about it is you need a 95+ 1mzfe due to the fact there is no hydrolic fan.
Well a while back I posted about swapping an MR2 e-153 tranny into my car, and people said it was a bad match for the v6's. So the Solara Trannies are different?bigbird said:well most people who dont own a camry would say yes, insane. but if u have the time and money, i say go for it, i know some people who hate to loose to my camry:lol: i think most people do the E153 solara swap. heres a link that should help.

u could also try the 97+ 1mz. if ya do that, u can mat the trd supercharger(if u can find one) to it and u dont have to fab much of anything cept trying to get it to fit under the hood. thats the way i think im gonna go.
No they didn't. They added synchro's between the '91 E152 and the '93 E153. Not the later E351 transmissions which have a hair different gearing that match the other E53 series transmissions in the MR2's.and they did change in the es/camry/solara, from the e153 that was matched up with the 3vz, and the ones that were matched up with the 1mz (97+)- they added more synchros for better shifts
And to quote Node:Toysrme said:OK... I get asked on a regular bases what the gear ratios for all the v6's & such are. So... Here they are. Again!
These are not negotiable!!! They are straight from the factory service manuals, and the factory sales brochures. If you think this information is wrong. That's because you don't know which damned transmission is which so stuff it, I don't want to hear it LoL!
(Why people argue when they don't know what they're talking about I'll never know!?)
"In the beginning for the v6's" <cough 1987 cough>, there was the 2vz-fe. And the 2vz-fe gave forth the E52 M/T, and the E52 was good LoL!:
1st 3.230
2nd 2.045
3rd 1.333
4th 0.972
5th 0.82
R 3.583
Final Drive 3.933
Then came the 3vz-fe for 1992 and the gen3 camry. Mated to a newer, I guess stronger??? E53(E153)
E53
1st 3.583

The E53 (E153) Recieved an extra third gear synchro in 1993. It was a rare option. For example! Of the 78,564 ES 300's sold in the US during 1992-1993 ES 300, there were only 2,194 sold with the M/T option! That's less than 2.77% of them sold~!?
Then came the re-introduction of the E53 (E153) in the 1997 Camry/ES
E53 '97-'01:
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.545
Final Drive 3.933
THEN! Then E53 series disappeared, and reappeared! Re-designed to work with the 2az-fe, NOT THE v6's. To which is was then re-mated to the v6's
2002-2006 v6 transmission = E351:
1st 3.538
2nd 2.045
3rd 1.333
4th 0.972
5th 0.731
R 3.583
Final Drive 3.944
But don't forget! Before the E52 v6, there was the E51 i4 mated to the 4a-gze!!!!
E51:
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.583
Final Drive 4.285
The E51 begot the E153 3s-gte transmission!!!
E153
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.545
Final Drive 4.285
So that's every non S## block transmission that should mate to a v6. Now the S blocks are a whoooole different story, cause they used those little things in abot everything LoL!
Node said:Nice job!
Quick note on the E51 off of the GZE. It requires the swap of a bell housing to work with a V6. I have a few sitting here and can attest to that.
Yeah, the current thought is that we'd pull both cars into the garage, drop both subframes, and swap them around into the opposite cars. I want to put the I4 stuff back in the donor just so i have a way to roll it around easily before It's completely parted out.ASG14 said:On an interesting note, the Gen 3 I4 AND V6 subframe are the same. So you can either drop the entire subframe with engine/tranny, and slap on a V6 one without touching anything, or use your existing one and swap it all over bolt for bolt.
yeah i found that out later:lol: my revs were going into the 8k before it shifted:whatwhat: i was freakin people out95WhiteCamry said:don't forget to change the clusters.... the tachs between the different models were calibrated differently.
so that means i'd have the PRN12D indicator thing on the cluster. ohwell..well worth it if I had a v6 I suppose.95WhiteCamry said:don't forget to change the clusters.... the tachs between the different models were calibrated differently.
