AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

you can use your stock manual transmission with it but expect problems down the road with that route.. best bet is to locate a e153 tranny... that the one outta the MR2 Turbo.. get a 93+ one with LSD.. might be 94+ but not 100% sure on which years came with LSD stock. You will need different CV shafts though.. you have to do a combintation of MR2 ones and Camary ones.. you need the inner CV shafts from one and the outter from the other but cant remember right at the moment which ones you need from which car.. Kuya did it and it might say in the Completed engine swaps under his post.

As for AWD its a big waste of time to hook up and really not worth the risk.

haha... sorry had to get that out... next time try searching... the AWD thing has been covered alot. But anyways... this engine you talk of. Does it come with a computer? Wiring harness? Resistor pack? etc.... etc..... etc!!! Cause you're going to have a hard time sourcing all the little parts if it doesnt. If you do a SEARCH!! about the swap you'll realize that most people urge you to get a clip so you wont have to go looking for all these little parts.

I suggest selling the AWD tranny and using that money towards the swap, or to buy a good 2wd tranny such as the mr2t, which is meant to hold the 3s's power. Hope this helps

P.S. the mr2 came with LSD on the 93+ model

haha okay thanks alot guys. sorry yeah i know its been covered alot

(ST185 chassis) motor/turbo/manifolds/ac compressor/power steering pump/flywheel/alternator/top-mount intercooler/...etc, AWD manual transmission, uncut engine wiring harness, and ECU this is what the engine comes with? is that the whole clip?

who did this they must pay for there crimes i cal first dibs on car though.

whoa, mixed feelings about that car.

The absolute only way to complete an engine swap hassle free is to get an entire front clip. From the dash to the front radiator core support. And never ever trust an importer when he says "I have everything out of the clip". Things will be broken upon shipping and or most likely cut harnesses and missing electrical components that are critical in maintaing an Oem engine bay configuration.

so just get the whole rear clip of the 3sgte mr2 3gen?

That is correct. Or you can get an entire front clip of the St205.
