If your going 4age you will want T-50 gearbox which bolt straight up to the 4age but MIGHT need to cut the shifter hole to fit it right and modify your gearbox cross member. Its worth doing if you can do most of the hard parts to save money.

yep, the shifter hole needs to be cut. gearbox crossmember moved and redrilled. watch the sump hitting the swaybar when you make your mounts. you need a hydraulic clutch setup. you need bigger brakes all round. you need a tailshaft made up to fit t50 to whatever diff you run. get a brake booster.

 

what 1.6 is in there now?

 

is it worthwhile doing? it goes good but not insane, if i did mine again i would definately look at finding a 4agze and putting a turbo on it.

I'd say it may have a 2T in it :)

sorry for the delay its a celeca (that doesnt look right.) i waa go the 4age because its my girl friends car and she doesnt want to much power and 100kw isnt bad. and ive heard its a preety easy conversion.
