stearman Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I live in B.C. Canada and as far as I know, I am the only person with a 70's corolla... let alone a 4 spd. I'm sure thats not true but I can't even find pictures of these cars outside of this website. So I am wondering, in the Corolla world of Australia, is a 4spd. transmission worth much? Is it rare? I am replacing mine with a BMW motor so I will be parting out my old motor soon. I will be extremely lucky to find any buyers on this side of the pond. Quote
coln72 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Ours were never fitted with a T series motor :( The majority of ours would of been 4 speed manuals though. Some of the later ones could be optioned with a 5 speed. Quote
styler Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) If its a T40 ie T series 4 speed, maybe $100 but most people would go a 5 speed. The T series Gearboxes were very common but as they get older get difficult to source. Theres an option to fit a 5th gear but that upgrade kit was only avaliable in the 70's! Shipping here for 30kg would be about $500. Edited January 11, 2012 by styler Quote

tojo2 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Might find some takers on 3tcgarage :wink: if not, tailhousing, shiftershafts and shifter could be worth a few bucks for someone modding shifterposition of a newer T series gearbox. Doesnt weigh much either. Quote
