Sounds like its time to cut your losses and swap in an E153
Its crossed my mind but i like the feel of the s54
Right now i just need to find a upper oil pan

The S54, while shorter geared, is much more fun to drive than with a E153.


If you could find a 5sp Solara you can grab it's trans and mount. Not sure if the mount would then need further modification to fit the Celica axles or not. If you wanted to swap though you would need to get a new clutch disk, as yours is splined for the S54.

The welds on the axle mount wasn't strong enough an broke off
the axle slid down an thudded against the oil pan an put a hole in it

Rollback is a flatbed tow truck

So the V6 motivates you less than it motivates a 3000lb car? tongue.gif
i dont think the axle mount sees much torque.

i would imagine bumps and what not would put more stress on that mount than anything.

if you welded the mount yourself, i would do it again, but instead of doing full welds, just tack it in place and take it to a welding shop.

putting pretty beads down is easy, making solid welds is HARD. i thought plenty of mine were great, till they peeled apart.



If you had an e153 you could use the stock mount that came with the engine tongue.gif i used mine and only cut off half of it... the mount was both an engine mount AND axle mount.

Perhaps it was welded on out of alignment which caused extra stress?

No my lil welder isnt big enough to do the job
The plate thats bolted to the motor is almost as smooth as it was before i welded on it

So i just need to find a friend with a bigger welder

Or you could make it a V6 AWD..... Talk about awesome
If i ever have the extra cash for the awd parts i want to do just that

Or find a alltrac an swap a v6 into it

Hey stephen lee that was a joke about having too much torque at the wheels. Members always argue the 1mz vs beams motor
