IIRC there are pics of it in jims build thread from when i did his mr2 LSD tranny. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Hey, I'm a noob. I'm trying to research all I can on my new Celica. I've seen many people say you can use an MR2 tranny or an AWD tranny on a FWD Celica. I haven't been able to find any posts detailing what needs to be done for either of these options, and I figured this was that post to ask on!

keep in mind that stock 5sfe bolted to a e153 ( MR2 turbo transmission ) will make you hate your car, it'll feel / be slow as it can get, because the transmission is designed for different power levels than a non turbo 5sfe can deliver. so you either turbo the engine along with this transmission swap, or look for a different transmission from a camry. solara, mr2 or celica, make sure it comes from a 4 cylinder and not from a v6 or turbo car.

Theres a write-up on celicatech for this. But basically you'll need a differential from an mr2 and have to remove all the internals and put it all back together.
