ok i know now that i need the e-153 tranny in order for the 3sgte engine to run smoothly and allow everything to work fine and not blow anything up. my question is how much would it cost me if i was to go to toyota and ask them for one? what year should i get for this v6 camry tranny? all i need is this in order to start my 3sgte swap. I'm really excited to start on it but this is the only thing holding me back. can't wait >>

1500? that's a little pricy if you ask me that's about how much it cost to get the half clip. are you sure it's that much?

Yeah, a NEW tranny is always preferrable to a used tranny, and it's gonna cost you. Same as if you ordered a 3sgte from autozone (you can, I checked). Costs $2500, but it's either a new engine, or one that's been rebuilt, so it's worth that much. Used stuff is "cheap", new stuff isn't >>

I believe what he is asking is from what year camry, and what other parts are needed to use this transmision with the 3s-gte.

i work for toyota and they said they are charging me for it for 2300 and that's with employee discount because they have to order it from japan since it's a rare occasion to find a stick v6 tranny so that's what they are asking for. same goes for the mr2 turbo tranny. And shut up about the noob thing. i may be a noob but i probably know more than you dickhead i was just making sure.

if i already have the half clip for the st 185 do i really need all those stuff? i know that you must change the tranny if i want it to remain as fwd but.....shift linkages and other parts too? is it really necessary?

***Half Clip? meaning front clip?

Hey, I am doing that swap right now, and YES you do need all the parts. I might be able to get the 3SGE(E-153) tranny but I will need to make custom axels.

As of Now I am using the 5SFE because of toysport.

You will need a lot more even if you are doing the swap. There are a lot of little things you need. Also depending on what you are going to do with the body, you might need a FMIC and is recommended.

Also you will have to make a custom exhaust and maybe intake for the AFM

You can make a search and you would see there are a ton of stuff that you may need or may not need.

PLUS the wiring is pretty hard if you are getting a JDM clip

so wouldn't it be easier if i was to get just the engine and transmission or is it better to get the front clip? >>

if u can afford it get an st-205 from clip, u will need is the diff from an mr2 turbo gearbox to make the gt4 gearbox fwd and half shafts from the mr2 turbo and u will have to get custom axles made. every thing else u will need the front clip will provide.

no matter what it will be FWD, the only way to make it AWD is very expensive, so no one will give you any advice on how to make it anything other then FWD.

Whats different about the solara tranny, and did someone say that the 3s-ge tranny is an e-153?

Like I said before

You will need a custom exhaust

Maybe a custom intake for the AFM..?

Probably a Full Tune UP

FMIC is recommended, unless you are going to install a scoop

There are a lot more little things you need so you should do a search and you will find it easily since this swap is constantly talked about.

the st185 axles are too short for the st-205 so i had custom axles made unless the axles off the v6 camrys fit. let me know what u used.
