Its possible.....BUT expensive....for one the engine mounts are not the same....two the wiring harness is not the same....three the computer is not the same....four the driveshaft are not the smae and probably not the same length....etc etc

It would be cheaper to buy a new transmission for your car!

plus who wants a 4cyl when you have a 6 cyl

Suggested Repair

Do not install the 2002 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. Replace the failed transmission with the correct transmission for the 1995 Mazda MX-6, which should be cheaper than adapting mismatched mounts, wiring, computer, and driveshafts.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Mazda MX-6 with a 24-valve V6 asked whether a low-cost 2002 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder engine and automatic transmission would fit after the MX-6 transmission failed. The expert said the swap is possible but expensive because the mounts, wiring harness, computer, and driveshafts do not match, and recommended buying a replacement transmission for the MX-6 instead.
