Yeah, what he said. The S53 found on the ST162 3SGE has the starter motor mounted on the block side of the flywheel, whereas the Camry and Celica 3SFE ones has the starter on the other side. Because of this, the Celica 3SGE gearbox isn't compatible with any other 3S motor unless you perform dicey modifications to the flywheel. I believe final drive ratios are also different.
