Just wondering if a 91 MR2 LSD transmission will fit my 1995 5sfe celica? Also it would still be FWD right? Just swap it in if it fits? someone is selling one for $300

I've been waiting for someone with more hands-on experience to reply, but I'll share the modest knowledge I have of the E153. It's heavier than the S54 by a decent amount, and with longer gearing it's not ideal for a stock/close to stock 5S. From what I've read, 300 whp seems to be the point when the longer gearing becomes beneficial (again, need someone with more experience to verify that.) The E153 has a 21 spline input shaft where the S54 has a 20 spline, so the clutch discs are not interchangeable. The clutch setup you have will work for your S54, but will not work if you pick the E153 up. The shift brackets are on the opposite sides of the transmission depending on whether you get an E153 out of a Camry or an MR2. The MR2 trans needs modification to be used in a Celica because of this, where the Camry E153 bolts right up. Again, I am not sure about whether the Camry/Solara ever came with LSD, but I know the MR2's did.
