Warehouse_XIII Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Hey everyone, can anyone tell me what gearboxes these are. The first one is a 5 speed and I am pretty sure it is a k50 The second on is a 4 speed but nfi what model it is, and have not been able to find a picture of one similar to it anywhere. I have tried every possible search on google images and in these forums, but no luck. They are both from a 4k engine and have identical bell housing bolt patterns, the extension housing bolt pattern is a lot different however and appears not to be interchangeable. Quote
Jono.C Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) They both look ke30/55 shifter position.. the top ones much bulkier though.. I'd say top is ke55 and bottom is ke20 at a guess Edit, that top one is weird.. don't think I've had a K gearbox that bulky before.. almost looks like an auto box but it's not..

LongJohnSilver Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 If it's a 4 speed attached to a K engine, it could be a K40 gearbox. Give this a read. Even if it doesn't help with your current problem, it's still interesting :P . Quote

Cheers, yeah I've had a read of the wiki, but just realised I had myself confused, the bottom gearbox is the K50 not the other way around (as per the image on the rolla club wiki). Ok so now I really need to know what the top gearbox is cause I need to find a shifter assembly for it as the one from the k50 box is a little smaller (about 5-8m between bolt hole centers in both directions). Oh and the shifter position is the same between them too Anyone got any ideas? :hmm: Edited October 1, 2012 by Warehouse_XIII Quote
Warehouse_XIII Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 FYI - Just found this http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/48445-k50-5-speed-gearbox/ Now I am really getting confused, two very different looking boxes, both refered to as K50s. Could one be an Aussie version and one a Japanese version? Quote

Warehouse_XIII Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 What Jono said, he's on the money. So the smaller 4 speed is a k40 and the larger 5 speed is the k50? In that case we need to update the image on the wiki page cause it is showing the smaller as a k50 which is what was confusing me lol Or do the k40/50s both come in 4 and 5 speed? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 K40 denotes 4 speed, K50 5 speed. There are different kinds of both as older to newer corollas had different shifter positions so the shifter housings are different. Quote

Awesome mate, thanks for your help guys :) Now to go hunting for a k50 shifter assembly...... Quote
