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!

you cant make a 5spd 6spd ![]() umm the celica box is a c series... so it will be possible to just do a bellhousing swap |

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!

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

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 |
