I'm in the market for an e-153 lsd transmission. After doing some searching on this site, and some searching on the web I've gotten myself confused. I've heard a lot of members say that they preferred the e-153 out of the Solara due to the newer better bearings, but after searching around online it came to my attention that the Solara's were not available with the limited slip, and that i would have to buy the LSD separate and install it. Is this true? What about the v6 camry? Is that non-lsd as well? It would be pointless for me to go through all of this conversion crap just to get a non-lsd transmission.

I would have to get the shift linkage from a Camry or solar then so that it would actually adapt. How much did that cost you culpable?

The shift linkage wont work, an mr2 has the shift linkage going towards the front of the car not the rear like FWD cars. the 7th gen celica has the linkage on the front. the MR2 spyder actually has the linkage on the rear. try again.... to the OP, get a new Solara trans and an aftermarket LSD. you have to modify the case and change several parts to change the MR2 tranny to work in the 6thgen. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
