hey guys, just curious,

a friend and i bought a datto 1200 ute with an A15 engine, however still has the old A12 4spd in it...

just wondering if u would know any other 5 spd gearboxes i could put in , besides a sunny coz well u all know that ive got better luck finding a needle in a haystack.

or even better where, around canberra area i could get one to put in it.

thanks heaps guys

give dellow automotive a call in revesby, sydney and get the current prices for the toyota t50-1200 conversion parts.
there was a member here a week or 2 ago was selling a dellow conversion for a measly 900. to buy new from dellow will run into 1500 after a reco box,bellhousing and tailshaft(which will be sourced seperately)

just stock up on 4speeds, they are cheap and plentiful, or find a 60a 4speed, perfect behind the a14 or a15, and strong enough too.

i had a worked a15 with a a12 4 spd, i went through 2 of them but one was driver error and the other was pure power lol They worked very well for me, the ratios are great, i only felt i needed five gears when i was on the highway.

They are easy to get and pretty cheap as previously stated, and i think they're underrated too!

the one i have in now has been behnd another club members a14 for 2 years, my uste for 2 years and the a15 sedan now for 3, all a14 or a15... and still no noises! 56a just no good for flat shfting or burouts it seems.

The only reason i put this box in last two cars is cause they were noisey and i knew this one was good!

will see what L series 200b 4speeds bring, the dreaded no reverse problems im guessing
