Have you thought about buying a Dellow kit and a Supra/Celica box?

In case you hadn't read.. this exact quest made me install a CA18...12 years ago. I bet the challenge to find a good 5 speed is even more difficult today.

I think I once read somewhere that you can mate a 1200 auto bellhousing to a celica 5 speed box am I right there?
then you save money on the dellow housing

I have owned two 5speeds... a 60a and now a 63a. Some have all the luck

They do come up cheap or resonable price. You just have to keep your eyes peeled on the usual datsun areas. I was lucky with the first box got it very cheap through a mate after it was imported from New Zealand.
