Help (You'll Have to Guess Vehicle Info)

[scooter]

Hi guys, I joined the forum in the hope someone may be able to answer a few questions.

 

I don't have a Corolla, I have a 1983 Lite ace.

 

My questions are.

 

Is there a 5 speed available that is a column shift?

 

Will a diff from a Corolla or another Toyota fit the liteace, something that is more conducive to highway driving?

 

Thanks in advance

Try having a look at where and how all the linkage's mate up to the box. It's quite possible that any 5 speed that came with that series engine (is it a 'k' engine?) will fit. I know that with kingswood's, you could change it from 3 speed (with column shift) to a 4 speed and keep the column shift. All the linkage's bolted on. So I'd guess just have a look at the box, what sorta engine you have, etc. Hope this helps.

 

Sorry I can't help you with your diff question

Wait until TRD Ke70 gets on, or send him a PM, he should know all these answers and more.....

In the future can you PLEASE put something more than "help" in your topic. You have been warned.

factory option, hit the wreckers, has to be a van and has to be a k series, you may need shifter to suit i don't think the 4 speed shifter will work

First you have to tell us what model car you have. Look on your ID plate and tell us all the numbers. Maybe your van is a KY30 or something like that? Don't know. Then find the Transmission code. Maybe W40, or something. So next post, give us something like this:

 

Model: KY30

Trans: W41

Diff: E382

 

Only then can we help, because we don't know vans that well.

10/79-8/85 20 series Liteace's have an E series diff.

 

E252 = 4.556

E362 = 4.778

E152 = 5.125

E282 = 4.3

 

Try a YM21 which have the 4.3 diff. MX3# cressidas have a 3.9 diff centre which will fit and be nice and tall on the highway!!
