    Default 3vzfe manual transmission

    I'm sorry if this has been covered, I've searched google and toymods and can't seem to get a strait answer.

    Which 5speed gearbox did the 3vzfe come with?

    Does this box mate up with the 1mzfe?

    Is it considered reliable and strong enough for either a charged 3vz or 1mz (if it fits)?

    Again sorry if this has been covered.

    Front or Rear wheel drive?

    Do you mean transverse or longitudinal, or FWD/MR2? It'll be transverse into the back of an MR2.

    E153 (MR2 SW20 Turbo) or S54 (MR2 SW20 Natro) both fit the 3VZ and 1MZ motors.

    Edit: Ok, so I've since found that the donor camry could have either an E53 or an e153. How can I identify (on vehicle) if the gearbox is an E153 or e53? i'm really struggling to find even small amounts of information. I can't even find out where to find the gearbox number?

    Thanks again.

    I stripped down a '99 1MZ Camry manual the other week for my conversion. The camry had the gearbox model (E153 in my case) on its build plate on the firewall.

    Thanks for the help (can't believe how obvious it was) turns out it has an E53. Back to the search.
