no you cannot use your 7afe transmission for in a 3sgte swap they wont bolt up.

and yes "tranny" means transmission

So how do us 7afe guys hook up a new transmission? what do we need to buy to correct what is wrong? do we use a 3sgte trany? Also, does the clutch of a 7afe fit in a 3sgte? Thanks!
You will need a tranny from a 5sfe, or you can also use the tranny from a V6 camry. as far as the clutch goes, i'm not sure... but why would you want to use the clutch from a 7afe tranny with the 3sgte? if you have a 3sgte, why not go all out and get a high performance clutch?
5sfe tranny, all 4 5fse mounts, 5sfe clutch, 5sfe axles, 2 axle brackets, Shifter cables 5sfe, Everything from the 7afe goes BYE BYE.


I will return one day.
