Falken_KE30 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 T50 is celica and wont bolt to your k motor unless you have a K- T bellhousing.. Other is K50 yeah.. bolt to any K motor. only diff in K motor 5 speeds is the KE70 shifter is more towards the rear.. about 10cm back i think Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Photos would help in identifying them.. Quote

philbey Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I thought the later model K50's (KE70) had slightly different internals, like larger layshaft bearings or something? Quote
JiP Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Something would have to be different internally for the shifter position to be further back. But I'm pretty sure that they would be the same ratios. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Something would have to be different internally for the shifter position to be further back You only need to change the length of the selector rods to move the shifter position....gears/shafts/bearings etc could all stay the same Quote
Raven Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 As I've done this before, to change the selector position, you only need to swap over the rear extension housing between 5 speed K50's. 4 speed one's wont interchange with the 5 speed variant. Quote
BReNt Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 They're both k50s. The one with the shifter further back is out of a ke70. Quote
trav_555 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Other is K50 yeah.. bolt to any K motor. only diff in K motor 5 speeds is the KE70 shifter is more towards the rear.. about 10cm back i think EDIT: was wrong my mistake Travis Edited February 3, 2009 by trav_555 Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 not true, i don't think it bolts to a 7k but rest yeah Travis Ah no. YOU'RE WRONG. I have a 7k in my wagon with a regular old K50 behind it. Yes the 7k block is wider, but the all the K GB patterns are the same. Quote
