Transmission from Solara., The solara 5sfe and v6 ? Feasible Options

My tranny just blew and im looking to replace my tranny from a Solara. The Solara comes with a 5sfe or the v6. Is there any differnce between those two 5spd tranny?

yes there is a diffrence, the solara v6 uses a E153. it cannot work on a 5SFE unless you get a custom made clutch disk.

i'm not sure what transmission the solora 5SFE uses but i'm positive it bolts up, however you might have problems fitting axles, shifter, mounts etc...
it could also be identical to the GT tranny but with diffrent gearing.

your safest bet would be to get a celica GT tranny... or swap

so what tranny is feasible on the celica 5sfe?

unfortunately i can't tell you for sure.
most of the mainstream information focus' primarly on tranny for swaps

my advice to you is to get a GT tranny for a replacement. I have one from my old 5SFE but its old -260k kms(162k miles)- and after shipping and all, it wouldn't be worth it. contact celicarus - he is parting out a GT and he's from Arlington too.
