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 used the shift linkage from a AWD trans.
and swapping a LSD into a trans, is not a huge deal with the proper tools, but I still stand by my point. the cost of a non LSD trans + cost of LSD + hours of work in install it is not cost efective, unless you manage to score both for a GREAT deal. non LSD trans low mileage goes for around 350, and LSD diff goes for at least 350 as well, thats 700, you can find LSD trans for around 500 if you look hard enough. --------------------  |

I think the only human being in the world I know that scores ridiculously good online deals is you. The cheapest I found a TRD LSD for the E153 was $585 on eBay and I had to have a genuine TRD part, lol. Better than the $1200 for the Quaife I was mentally preparing myself to spend, lol. I don't know how you've scored so many of your goodies, mano. Unless someone spends the entire day from forum to forum or is extremely patient for a deal, I don't think anyone could top you.
