have you tried the st185 back mount?
[right][snapback]298486[/snapback][/right]

Yes the st185, and mr2 rear motor mount bolt to the tranny, but both interfere with the insulator on the crossmember. If the st185 or mr2 crossmember will bolt to my car then it will work.

I think you can use the st185 cross member, when I was talking to the guy at xat about doing the e153 tranny he said something about it.

we're getting many different combos, this is a summary of what i've read so far.

here, i'll try to sum it all up, up until here:
-For Axles it's looking like Camry(91)/GT4 Outers and MR2(match yr w/ tranny) inners
-For Mounts, stock GT will work for front and rear, just need driver's mount from GT4
-For Shifter Linkage - GT4
-For Shift Cables - GT/GT4


this is just a summary.

you have to specify which generations of gt4's
6th gen gt cables are different from st205 cables. st205 cables are different from st185 cables. st185 cables are also different from 6th gen GT's

Those cables in the top pic(which are GT cables) will not work unless the horseshoe clip is modified to be thicker. Even then, I don't think they will work. You can see the 1/4" gap between where the clip locks the cable in place and the back part. I put the gt cables in place with the e153 tranny, put the clips in that hold them in place, and there was so much slack that the cables wouldn't stay on the tranny. Is that a good explanation? I will circle the part which is different and then you can see the gap.

Let me just correct this a little bit.

Axels:

Inner shaft = MR2 Turbo (Match year of axel with year of tranny)
Outer shaft = 91 Camry V6 OR 91-93 All Trac

Mounts:

94-99 GT-Four mounts and brackets (front, rear, and driver side)
6th gen front mount ( be advised that with this front mount installed, we can't get the rear mount to line up, no matter if it's a all trac or mr2 mount)

Comments: I think the problem that people are having is that they are using different mounts for every side. Not all mounts are the same, and not all motor mount brackets are the same. For example, if you had all All Trac mounts but GT brackets, they will bolt up together BUT will not bold up to the crossmember becuase the bracket throws it off by an inch or half and inch. All of these things were problems i didn't want to face when i did my swap. That's why I decided to get all GT-Four mounts and brackets. I know that this setup works for a fact. If someone else has a diffrent setup, please post it. This way we can know what does work and what we can't seem to get to work. just my 2 cents.

Shift linkage and shifter cables are the same thing.

Also, if you notice on the picture, the GT cables are a bit longer than that of a 94-99 GT-Four. I wasn't aware of the fact that the GT cables wouldn't be able to be cliped onto the MR2 tranny. I had talked to a guy at El Prototype before hand and he said that they could be used, but the problem was that once the GT cables are installed, they're so long that when shifting into 1st, 3rd, and 5th, the shifter get's too close to the consol where the sigarette lighter is at and you'll hit your hand all the time. Therefore, he advised me to use the GT-Fout cables because they're a little shorter and i wouldn't have to go through that problem. Just a thought.

I would seriously suggest that someone call up xat racing in tampa and ask them about the mounts. I'm almost positive that they use the st185 cross member and they use custom mounts.

I am using GT cables and they work without hitting my hand. I have had shifting issues though I am almost positive that they are related to the alltrac shift actuator not matching the year of my MR2T. I will report back when I have the correct actuator installed (should be next week).

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I'll ask XAT when I get back into tampa next tuesday. They said to use the mounts that spinx said, I never asked about the crossmember. I think I'm having issues b/c of my passenger mount that I'm using. I think that it offsets my motor.

These are both 1994 GT mounts

I just tried using the st185 crossmember and it in no way will bolt up with the east-west suspension crossmember or the front radiator support on the st204 GT. I also tried using the 185 mount (insulator) on the 204 crossmember but it won't fit in anyway on the rear.
So that rules that out.

I have been asking all workshops here in Australia and have found that the north-south crossmember is the same on both the st204 and st205. The st204 and st205 (same) being different from the st185 and st184 crossmembers.


I believe the easiest way to fit the e153 is to use all st205 mounts, to avoid confusion.

NOTE
*The RH engine mount is the same on all the st20# series

#The rear engine mount (insulator and bracket) and LH engine mount (insulator) are specific to the st205.

That would be my best advice at this point. Go with ST205 mounts and brackets for the swap. You can't go wrong.

Not sure if you really mean st202 because that was a JDM RHD only 6th gen
I terms of engine mounts, st204 and st202 use the same tranny and mounts.

All st20#'s have the same north-south cross member, only difference being with the suspension cross member having differences due to four wheel steering and superstrut suspension with each model spec.

Basically in summary

Mounts
RH Side= Any St200 series
Left Side= St205 bracket# and Insulator
Rear= St205 bracket and insulator
Front= st205 bracket and any st200 series insulator

#note bracket is no longer available in Australia perhaps worldwide. I'll try to use/modify the mr2 bracket i already have.

Axles= St185 outer shafts w/ mr2 inner shafts w/ matching splines. The half shaft with carrier from mr2 is also required

If using an Mr2 e153 specific year does not necesarily mean certain diameter spline. Also note that the circlip on the end is also a variable. It can either be 5mm or 12mm from the end.
It is very important to get the driveshafts that go with the tranny at the same time to make sure you are getting the correct shafts.

Shift cables
Any St200 series cables can be modified to be clip to the tranny and the cables work perfectly once secured.

Please correct me if I am wrong as I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out a working combo.

Wow I havent seen this much GOOD information in a long time, someone sticky this and rename it E153 Tranny install in ST204 or something.

I'm putting in a E153 and I have St185 & St204 shifter cables, I think im going to try both to see what works best. What displeases me is this ST205 engine mounts being needed, thats expensive stuff.

Jeff where did you get yours?
