Gearbox Converstion Check List

[original]

Ok so the T50 is buggered so I've source a W5x series gearbox and its pretty cheap for coming with a bellhousing as well.

 

RWD is normally not my thing so I just wanna make sure I've thought of everything so the process isnt slowed thatmuch.

 

Gearbox with bellhousing -> Check

starter motor -> the standard 4a one ok?

Speedo cable -> electric/mechanical? interchangable?

Clutch -> Still at a loss for this one, need one to fit 200mm 29.8mm centre and 21 tooth. Found out its a bluetop flywheel :)

 

Shifter position -> Holes will need to be cut, both the t and w boxes are long

Driveshaft -> Will need to be shortened, use the front half off the w55 box and the 2nd half of the k/t series drive shaft and get made into one big ass shaft :)

 

 

Any help/comments is appreciated

speedo cable?

can i use the one from the T50? is it electronic?

clutch?!

 

the t50 has a different spline to the w55.

 

So which clutch should I use?

i want to know that last one as well

 

i was talking to a fella about that

he said that you have to use celica clutch disk onto a 4agze pressure plate

he spoke to extreem and they said to do that

Well as far as I have found out, The w5X boxes all have 21 tooth splines, and a 29(?)mm input shaft. so the only hard bit is finding a clutch that matches your flywheel diameter. MR2 4agze or MA61 supra's are fairly common clutches to use.

 

remember that from the blue top through to blacktop and both 4agze's the fly wheel ranges from 200mm to 230(?)mm

 

Ive posted above some updated info that I have found out along the way. basically no 4age/4agze clutch will fit unless its an MR2 clutch and flywheel.

The 4agze and the e58 gearboxes use the same spline as the w55/57/58 boxes. However generally a 4agze clutch wont fit inside there custom bellhousings.

 

The tailshaft will need to be custom use a ra65 front yoke with what ever diff rear and get someone to make one up to the right length.

 

Speedo cable is mechanical. What car you putting it in? The factory one from a corolla should fit onto the w series ones. Not 100% about this.

 

starter motor fwd one is compatible.
