[rolla_93]

hey guys/gals

just wondering if it where possible to put a 5spd from a RA40 celica in a KE30 corolla

is it a straight bolt in, have to change bell housings or it just wont fit

any info would be great

cheers

No dice. Ra40 5 speeds are a w50. Won't bolt up to the k motor without a k-w bell housing. I think they are hydraulic clutch too. Tailshaft is diffent.

Yes shaft spline is different, but they are still cable.....

By that i'm guessing you mean w50? Which afaik may or may not be hydraulic. Being W series and not K series it's not a straight bolt in and bellhousings wont fit, and output shaft on the box is 99% likely to be a different pattern/ size to that on your driveshaft.

 

Easiest thing would be to get a box and compare.

 

Or Just look around for K50.

Seems really odd to me, as every single ra40 manual I have ever seen features either a w50 or w40.

 

I know you need a liteace housing off an L series gearbox to make it work from memory. May as well use the liteace clutch too while you are there. Should be cable aswell.

Yeah RA40's had W40/50. are you sure your's were 55's? is the gearbox case steel or alloy.

 

 

And yes a W50 (in normal RA40 form) is hydraulic clutch, but as soon as you bolt the K-W bellhousing to it it becomes a cable operated box as the litace was still cable.
