Jeremy the reason that there are "clips" at all is because U.S. regulations require the cars to be cut in half before they are imported. If you are looking for a USDM camry engine & tranny, you will have three options: (1) junkyard, (2) Toyota, (3) private party with either car or wreck. You will not find a USDM "clip"

If it were me, I would look at car-part.com

what year V6 Camry / Solara?

You can always check Tap Recycling in Sacramento. They are good people and have everything you need. I've got a few things from them, and have no regrets. Give them a call and let them know what you need.

Yes, yes, interesting question

The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dô Kyôshan–“You can not be what you do not believe you are”
easy

USE A SOLARA V6 CASE !!!!!!!!!!! LOL

TO convert a mr2 case to fwd all you need is V6 tranny rear shift linkage assm and v6 gear selector shaft ..

it take 10 mintues to convert with parts..

with mine it looks oem and you have no hole in front side ..
