hey i have a datto 1200 ute a 1982 modle, it has an a15 engine but still has a dirty 4 speed how much would a swap cost to a 5 speed and were can i pick a suitable 5 speed up from (what type of donor car) i am not a mechainic so i could not do it my self. cheers

Where are you?

i got quoted $1100 4 a 5 speed, so i scrapped the idea and went with a rebuilt 4 speed for $160

hi, i just recently blew up my sunny 5 speed box behind my a15 after having it for nearly 2 years, i dont thrash it and it was supposed to have been rebuilt, so i have now decided that getting a conversion kit from dellow automotive to put a celica box behind my engine is the way 2 go. i have been told to get every thing gearbox, conversion kit @ getting it installed would work out $1500-$1800aus drive away and with that it is easier and cheaper to get parts and spare gearboxes from the wreckers (approx $250for a ssecond han gearbox)(in australia any how) considering you are looking at around $1000-$1500 for a aseries gearbox not fitted with, god only knows what history it has had, id say a celica box i going to find its way in to my car as soon as i ca afford it. just my 2cents anyway

Agro-A12, What happened to your box when it "blew up"?
The 63A stanza box for A12 can be had for $900 and for spares a stanza box is available for $150 - $300 depending on condition.

If you break the input shaft and countershaft gear it won't be from taking it easy.

i live in waihi (north island east coast just up from tauranga)
