Just for reference everyone, if you want to extend the ratios on the E153 gearbox, you can use the ST165 final drive ratio. This will increase each gear by 9%. Means you can hit 60 without bouncin the rev limiter in 2nd, and in 5th gear 163mph @ rev limiter becomes 177.6mph

I've also heard that the 5th gear from the S series tranny in the manual Camry/Solara from the US is not E series compatable.

Part numbers if you're interested in doing this are:

3.933 Shaft, Output 33321-20120
3.933 Gear, Ring 41221-12240
3.933 Gear, Oil Pump 33407-12011

I think the parts come to around ?320 - then of course it's fitting on top.

Paul: Do you work on gearboxes? Just for an indication of how long something like this would take?

Just for information :)
