2.4 I4 5 speed to Celica 6 speed?

[Monkeyman]

Does anyone know if the bellhousing is the same for the Solara I4 and the Celica 6 speed tranny? Is the input shaft the same? Is the managment computer the same? Are the CV shaft inputs in the same place?

To the point:
Will the 6 speed Celica transmision fit in a 2.4 litre I4 Solara with a 5 speed manual?

I am thinking that it might lower my rpm's in top gear, then with lightweight wheels and flywheel I should see much better acceleration, a higher top end, more torque, and better fuel economy.

PS: I put this post here because it is not an aftermarkt upgrade, but a factory upgrade...... of sorts.... I am hoping that some one who is either a Toyota tech, or some one with a whole lotta' Toyota experience will read it and give me an answer.


Thanks guys!
