A Celica or any other Toyota FWD car has the shift mechanism coming out of
the back of the tranny, near the firewall. The cables come from the shifter and connect to it. An MR2 tranny has the mechanism on the front of the tranny, so they would be near the radiator in a Celica....... How are the shift cables going to reach that? The MR2 has them on the opposite side, because the shift cables come out the firewall behind the driver and connect to the front of the tranny..... You can convert the tranny to FWD mechanism, but it is difficult and expensive. (at least to do it right it is!) The Solara V6 FWD 5 speed is the same as an MR2 turbo tranny, but has the mechanism in the right place.... Do you see what I am saying? I might have a picture that I can show you... Carlc this is what someone told me, is it true. -------------------- |

Super: I bought an MR2T clip so I know I am not using alltrac cables. My guess is that I will be using the 6th gen cables but perhaps cables need to be sourced. I will ask my mechanic the next time I talk with him.

MR2T inner axels, Camry outters (I think alltrac outters may work as well but you need to verify this) - not sure of the years. It works for 6th gens too. Mina and Kuya both have MR2T trannies right now. Mine is going in at this very moment.
