      second pic is an AWD E15x transmission from a celica GT4. it's essentially the same transmission except with a rear transfer bolted on. if you look at the pic of my trans in the first thread you can see the how the FWD has a blockoff plate instead of a rear transfer

                      All the time and money to do this swap will pay off when you're throwin gears around without breaking the chandelier . Hoping this economy starts turning around a little more and then maybe I can join the TRDspeed club

                        camry v6 only, the 4 cyl's only came with the weaker S series.

                        you guys figured it out, so i'll let the cat out of the bag for those who dont know - my transmission is from a 2000 camry v6. the late 90s/early 2k's camry/solara with the 1MZFE is the best place to get the trans IMO, because the linkage is already setup for fwd and they have the revised synchros like the 93+ MR2 turbo. the MR2 turbo trans would work but you need to flip the linkage which involves drilling holes in the case etc. the only celicas that came with the E series are the alltrac/gt4 cars.

                        basically you need a trans from a 3SGTE or 1MZFE powered car. bolt patterns for the motors are the same.

                        starter mounts to the adapter plate in the stock location, look at the pics on page 3 it's on there. you have to "modify" the bellhousing to clear the starter nose.

                        as far as a kit goes:
                        My girlfriend's dad works as a welder/fabricator at a shop that custom builds everything from huge gravel processing/sorting machines to small one-off pieces of almost anything you can imagine.

                        He and I are going to build the first kit on my car. Once it's done (and tested, etc) we'll figure out what the cost might be to build jigs and "mass produce" it through his company. If it seems worthwhile/affordable and people are interested I'll pull all the mounts off again this winter to make the jigs and reproduce kits.

                          kinda there were some 80's fwd celicas that came with a 3sge( nonturbo ) that came with an e-series, but are hard to find.also they came on any camry, solara, avalon with either a 3vzfe or 1mzfe

                          if you are going to buy a camry gearbox get the 98 v6. it has dual syncros. shifts real nice

                            from what i read any of the later v6 boxes should have the dual synchros, i'll be opening it up pretty soon to install my quaife so i'll confirm

                              also awd guys can use a rav4 transmission and rear diff with alltrac/gt4 axles. from what i read the rav4 and A-T/GT4 are close to the same strength, the differences being gear ratios and the center diff is a lock up on the rav4, not a viscous lsd like the alltrac.
                              here are the gear ratio differences ive found
                              gear rav4 st205
                              1 18.62 14.5
                              2 9.98 8.2
                              3 6.28 5.4
                              4 4.59 3.93
                              5 3.87 3.13

                                good call on the Rav4, probably a bit easier to find

                                i've been looking for different TOB options just in case the clutch linkage doesnt work out quite right... it looks like the rav 4 bearing will work with my trans and it is a little thicker.
