hey guys. got the 5 speed in no worries.. so cheers for the info. but now managed somehow to screw up the heater tap. I can get a genuine toyota tap but not till next week. Bursons tell me they have 2 universal taps but i'd need to the dimensions of the hose. so i guess anyone ever used a universal? or anyone near their car or have a manual and can get the diameter of the hoses ? cheers guys I guess I can always buy both and see how i go.. hmm

thanks for the replies guys, managed to source a K50 from pick-a-part. $96 gamble though do have a 30 day warranty. Wondering do i need an extension housing seal? I read an old post from Taz_Rx Bolt straight in, no mods. HOWEVER, so corolla clutches are 19T, some are 21T, so just make sure the spline in right. wink.gif You won't find a k40/50 bellhousing gasket, because they don't exist!! The bell housing don't come off them. If you mean a gasket between the engine and bell housing, then they don't exist either. Not needed. So from that, do I actually need one? we talking the same thing? and I guess I need to confirm the clutches are the same yeah? thanks fellas..

will do mate.. thanks for that.

hey mate It doesn't spin so much (when engine running, clutch out, light acceleration) but rotates clockwise then counter clockwise rapidly (10mm-ish travel). almost like a shudder more than anything. hope that helps

Hey guys, did some quick searching couldn't specifically find an answer.. So soz if this has been addressed before. I think I blew my gearbox in my 84 KE70 on the weekend, wondering what checks I should do to verify that it is the gearbox and not some other issue with the drivetrain. THE PROBLEM: Can engage any gear while engine is running and the car will not stall and nor will it drive. DIAGNOSED: If you rev the engine whilst in gear the tailshaft quickly rotates back and forth (talking less than 10mm of movement). Out of gear the car can be rolled. In gear the car can be rolled. In gear, engine running, car can be rolled. So I'm thinking diff is OK.. I guess what are your thoughts on the problem? anything else I should look at. Hassle I have at the moment car is sitting on a mire of clay so jacking her up will be interesting. Was planning to tow her to a mates place to do the work, but was looking at getting what I need to fix her up before hand. Ya I know stupid lol. oh and if u guys reckon it is the gearbox, anyone have KE70 K50 (seems like the smart move if it is the gearbox) in good nick they wanna part with :lol: Noticed a few being up for sale.. though the threads seem fairly old. cheers JK
