What year axles from the Camry V6? I found new ones cost about $400 from a 93. I can get one from pick your part for $85 and a rebuilt for $110. I just want to make sure of the year for the fit. I have the 94 MR2 tranny and inner shaft.
QUOTE(sphinx @ Mar 30, 2005 - 7:11 AM) i believe the axels that you're using ( st185 outer shafts) are a wee bit too short. That's why they keep going out on you. I've been using the camry outer shaft with for a while now, and have'nt had a problem. I've ran the car hard, and the axels don't pop out or break. Super, As for the mounts, I know the ST205 mounts work cause the are the ones I'm using and there was no modification needed. I know that you can use the GT front and rear mount and brackets. As for the driver side mounts, i know you can't use the GT mounts because the bracket is different and will not line up properly. The MR2 mounts will line up perfectly on the tranny, but not sure how it will mount up to the bracket welded on the chassis of the celica. That's why i didn't take a change and just bought the ST205 mounts. I just didn't feel like welding a mount. I know you asked for me to post some info on mounting this tranny, but everything is pretty much straight forward. Now, if you have certain questions, by all means, just ask and i'll give you my input. hope that helps. [right][snapback]263919[/snapback][/right] |

This is an excellent write up. However, I thought there are people using the st185 outer shafts. I'm about to use them on my car right now, but after reading this, I want some more input. This is some direct info, on a hard to find topic. Let's keep this going. Anyone with pics of the st185 and camry outer shaft length difference should put a pic on here. Oh and what year solara or camry axles are usable?

I know, I got a kit from there that was universal and wrapped around the joint and was held together w/ screws. lol. I took it back. No I haven't found a place. I'm going to test to see if the st185 outers will make the axle too short. I'm going to get the compressed and extended lengths for the GT axle, then put the mr2 inner and st185 outer together and measure. Get back with you guys in a couple days.

Sorry i forgot to mention that.

When you buy the E-153, make sure you find out the year. The selector shaft and plate (and all the little parts on the selector shaft) must be from the same year alltrac as the MR2T. Actually I think the 91-92 are interchangable but the 93 is distinct. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

This is great info, more descriptive than we had before. Advanced Auto Parts stocks the 91 camry axles. I guess both passenger and driver side axles are the same thing. Part #7409.
What kind of tranny fluid did you guys use for the mr2T tranny, and how many quarts? This post has been edited by celica3sgte: Jun 9, 2005 - 3:39 AM |

be carefull with axels from advance auto, they use a compay called CCT, and ive had VERY bad luck with the (wrong axels in box, some were broken, one broake after driving for 5min, etc.)
the best made axels i found were from carquest. the 1st one i bought from them (drivers side) was perfect. now i ordered the passengers side... great rebuild quality, but the input shaft is too long and wide for my car. they are working on getting me another one -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I found out today that the 91-92 st185 axles are identical to the 91 camry axle. I bought a pair from advanced and compared it to the st185 axles I had already bought, now i'm gonna take back the camry axles lol($271-$90 core). I took a pic of each axle side by side to show you all and i'll have that up by friday.

I'm using Redline MT-90 on my transmission. Expensive, but well worth it. I use it because I run my car real hard and I preffer having it well lubricated.

If you use the e153 tranny do you still need the axle bracket that is not on the st?

Here's what I used that worked.
92 mr2 lsd tranny 92 mr2 lsd inner shafts 92 st185 outer shafts st185 shift linkage st185 driver's side motor mount 94-99 celica gt front motor mount I don't have a back mount. The mount bolts to the tranny, but the insulator is almost 1 1/2" off to the side so it doens't line up. |
