6 speed box

hey..anybody here know anybody that can rebuild a 6 speed on the cheap?? i was quoated €600 to €1000! its a bit much! if i had that sort or money i'd just buy a hole car from japan and get the engine aswell!

i was told it needed 3 and 4 selectors and i'm sure bearings too maybe even 3rd gear.

it was a 5 speed untill i converted to 6 speed as it works far better for what i use the car for.. a celica 6 speed? is it anyway close to the levin c160? is it possible to swap bell housings on the celica box?? or has anyone here ever tried or even is it possible using a celica box?

i dont see the point in buying another levin box ...in ireland anyway...as there is no way in knowing what condition it actually is in!

thanks for the help!

he well i have given it a good go...easy enough job apart from the mount to the right...i got the cables and shifter just in case...i also got 6 speed shafts...i think they are the same anyway..i just bought the lot a a good price... and will probably need spares!

i'd sooner buy a celica box here or see if i can get a ae111 box sent over from japan...i know there is one over in japan with a cusco 1.5 way and was told the box was only rebuilt a few 000k ago! €700 shipped...but a 12 week shipping time!! haha. if i had the money i'd probably go for it! :wall:

carina e gearbox?

hmm you do know the proper 4age 5speed uses a lower final drive than the normal corollas, and I wouldnt call then slower pends on use/driving style

carina e box fits in fine and will work fine for just driving from a to b.....certainly not what i'm using it for...and obviously no LSD.... I'm gonna hold out until i can afford a proper 6 speed levin box..hopefully its less than 3 weeks !!lol :P

yeah c series lsd's can be swapped but the gear bolted to it also needs to be changed.

clutch is fine will work with any c series gearbox just make sure its to worn since you have the box off a new clutch disc is cheap.

gear linkage is also fine

shifter should work fine 6sp -> 5sp (some mods 5sp ->6sp)

you will need the 5speed end gearbox mount
