well driving home on the mass pike i just cruising at 70mph in 5th gear at 3.5k rpm. when all of a sudden my RPM raises without me even touching the gas and now i down shift like wtf. and yeah every gear my car doesnt move. the clutch doesnt sound like it engageing at all. woo to pulling the motor again to find the problem.
first ill check thing like the slave cylinder ect. but im so confused cause i dont hear any moving parts when i shif an let the clutch out. i cant feel anyhting in the pedal at all. /rant ps this sucks.

im hoping my clutch setup is ok and that my flywheel bolt havent sheared off or worse.

will the e56 bolt on to our setups easier than the e153?

Since its an E-series trans, it'll have most of the same issues as the E153. I've seen a pic of one once, and it looked just like the E153 on the outside. I'd almost bet that its an E153 with a different gear set.

Quick google search - a version of the E56 was used in the 1988 AWD Camry and Rav4. Need to do some research on that.

The axels for the E56 trans may be the perfect solution for the E153 conversion though, since they are the correct length for the celica's and made for an E series trans. I'd check the differential pinion part numbers, but its kinda pointless since the axels are probably not available in the US.

Any idea if S54 fits straight to my car ?

If I'm right, and the E56 is like the E153, then you would also need to replace 3 of the engine mounts to fit the S54. The E153 may be a smoother swap then the S54 for you.
