K-50 Or T-50 , Can Someone Tell Me Please

[steve_tm]

hey all

 

i was sold this gear box saying it was a k-50, however after having a few mates look at it, no one can really tell me what it is! it looks like a T-50 with a bell houseing K-T

 

the gear box bolts up fine to th K-5 engine, and the drivetrain from the auto that was in the car also fits the output shaft of the so called k-50.

 

could someone please confirm what this box is, and if it is a t-50 or k-50 what do they come out of, since i have to chase down a shifter and box mount

 

any help would be much appreciated

thanks heaps

Nice find

And i'd reckon you would have gotten your t50 with a k bellhousing pretty dirt cheap to

 

As for cars - most that had a t-series motor (like ta22 celica, t18) or an a-series rear drive donk (eg ae71)

t-50, looks to big to be a k50

 

how much you pay for it?

[beerhead]

He's right, your a lucky devil, def a K - T bell housing there. those bellhousings go for $200 on there own. It's a TA22 box by the forward sitting shifter.

[trav_555]

yeh looks like i hit a little bit of a jackpot with this one. bet th young guy who sold it to me would be spewing if he found out what he was acturly selling, he sounds like me, no idea until now, haha. i did get it all for pretty dirt cheap! gota have a win occationaly!

 

thanks heaps for the info guys, really appreciate! now i know why i was having trouble hunting down mounts to match when i was looking for k-50 stuff

 

cheers again

Just a question....what car is it going into? I may be able to help you with some info.

[tojo2]

Great find. The rubber mount can be from any t-box I think, but the shifter must be from a forward shifter pos. one (ta22 celica)

 

Try to track down the one that was there originally. You can probably use a k40 gearbox crossmember.

[steve_tm]

Xany - Its going into a 73 KE-20, yeh if you have any info for it it would be awsome, cheers

 

tojo2 - i've been told i can use th original cross member and just move it back to some pre-set provision holes. i'll find out when i give it a go this week, haha. all i'm now hunting for is a shifter, so hopefully i can get one somewhere without buy th whole bloody box. can't get hold of th guy i got the box/engine off tho, but i start hunting down th TA-22's at wreckers, hopefully i get lucky!

 

cheers

:) Worked for me in a ke35.... don't know if a auto crossmember will suit though

[Taz_Rx]

What did you pay for it you lucky bastard?

[camerondownunder88]

I take it the guy who sold it to you was wreckign a KE35 coupe?

 

Most KE35 coupes were a T50 if they were a 5 speed model

Ahh, wouldn't they be K50s?

 

KE35s seem to be a lot more common than T50s with a K-T bellhousing.

Some early ke35s (before mid 76) came with wireclutch t50. Could it be thats when they started making k50?
