Hey guys,
After 1 too many track days my S54 has decided it wants to grind into gears then pop back out once in so its time for a new box. I've managed to find what I believe is an E153 from a 1996 V6 Camry in a wreckers yard for $116 if I go pull the thing out.

http://www.picknpayless.com.au/eziparts/Di...%20Camry%20SK10

For now its just going to be used with the 5sfe until I can afford to replace that with a V6. I know its not going to be great with the 5sfe but it will always keep in my mind that a V6 should be in there instead.
Now the details i'm unsure of with changing to the E153 are...
1. Can the Camry axles be used or does it need to be the MR2 inner/ST185 outter combo?
2. Will I be able to use the Camry shifter linkage or will i need the ST205?
3. Will I be able to use the Camry motor mounts? or once again does it need to be the ST205 mounts?
4. Will I need to change the carrier bracket?
5. Is there anything i'm missing or overlooking?

Ok now for the other part of the question to the V6 owners out there, since there is a complete camry V6 in the wreckers yard and I do plan to swap in a V6 down the track...
1. Do you guys know if the Camry timing cover side mount will work in the celica? because it will most likely be pretty cheap and it could save fabrication of one
2. I plan to swap a VVTI 1MZ in, is it worth grabbing the ECU out of the 1996 since its a M/T ECU or should I just use a VVTI auto ecu?

Thanks

the engine in the link you provided is a 3VZ not a 1MZ. you could use the transmission from it but im not sure what axles it has.

if you want to use a VVT 1MZ, i suggest just getting a 3MZ, and have a setup like mine
