...and I don't want to put another celica trans back in. I am looking for something taller as I do a lot of highway. My clutch only has 10k miles on it, so replacing it is out of the question. What are my options? I have a manual GT.

Thanks in advance.

Camry S51. But the gearing change isn't huge. Why not get another S54 and keep the fun that the Celica has? It's not like the car gets bad gas mileage. I consistently pulled 32 mpg from mine.

Camry transmissions are also cheaper. Besides, for me, I don't ever go down backroads or really have fun...it is a straight 100% highway car, so lower rpm and increased mileage are the order of the day.

Sounds boring, but if I want to have fun, I drive 10 minutes and pull my other car out of my boss' garage. I bought the Celica for the fact that I do get 30mpg easily, it has a decent cargo area, and parts are not that expensive.

What years should I be looking at for this Camry trans?
