Let's say that I'm doing a 3SGTE swap into a 6th gen and I'm using an E153 tranny. Wouldn't picking up an MR2 clip be a cost-effective method? That way I already have the right tranny and I don't have an AWD one to get rid of, already have the inner axle parts, etc. Just need to modify the tranny for FWD which doesn't take very long. Now, I know that the alternator bracket has to be changed (with one from what? A Celica 3SGTE? What else will fit? 5SFE? And why does it need to be changed?), but what other specific obstacles are there to putting an MR2 3SGTE into a Celica?
