Amd thinking that I threw one away a couple of years ago. Mine came out of a V6 Camry and was attached to a 3S-GTE in a fwd '87 Celica. 

Those came in the V6 Camrys and second Gen MR2 turbos.

I'm assuming you need an mr2 version? I have one out of a solara.

I’m looking for an MR2 version, but willing to modify as needed.

Just an fyi, the castings are the same. I run both on the Celica as we broke the Camry one and replaced it with an MR2 Turbo (My statement above is incorrect, I threw away an MR2 tranny).
The camry had the linkage coming out the back, which worked great with the Celica. When I got the MR2 Turbo transmission, we had to swap the linkage and it was a piece of cake. The worst part was that we did not have anything to cover the hole left by removing the front linkage hole and we used a nickel and JB welded it in place. I wouldn't hesitate to use either, just make sure you can source the linkage.

Believe me, I still regret it but I have no where to store it and no one wanted it. I saved the complete 3SGTE along with intercooler, ecu, wiring, etc.

Dang I have an MR2 trans but it's the weaker S54 from an NA car.

What are you going to do with a 2zz and a E153?

 

Anyways, if you find a Camry transmission, I have the linkage, shifter cables, and an mr2 e153 housing to swap with a Camry housing.

You’ll know soon!! cheeky

Are you saying you have an MR2 e153, or just the case?

Just the case. I had a Camry e153 I was gonna covert but ended up selling it as is and using an S54.

It's been a while since I had an MR2, but doesn't the 2zz share a bellhousing pattern with the 4age, and the 2.2 (5sfe?) E153 is different?  Are you planning on running an adapter?

Don’t worry about it. I never said those were for the same project.

Until I remembered the 2zz part I thought for sure he was prepping a BP+T powered BG chassis an the E153 swap is popular for them.

Gee, that’s too bad. I thought you might have an E153. Didn’t realize dissecting my project would hold so much interest for you!! cheeky

Camry is  your cheapest solution. You will have to change the linkage but looks like others on the forum have what you need.
