Im looking at purchasing a Celica 5speed from a 1977 ra28 celica with a 18r engine. The question is, is this the gearbox to suit the dellow kit and is it a 2t or 3t.




Thanks

nah, it dont look anything like mine.
they look more like a supra box sorta.
my gearstick comes out of a big round hole not a square lookin one like on box in pic.
i havent seen a 2t, i got 3t in mine.

Thanks for that. Im trying to work out all the toyota engine and box codes. There's so many it gets confusing. Im chasing a t50 right?

yeah i think so,
i had the same confusion when i was buyin all the stuff for my ute.
give the dude from dellow a call he'd prob be able to help ya with all that stuff.

You can fit that box behind an A series auto bellhousing with very little trouble there are a few people on this site that have done that.
I used a 60 series bellhousing cut with a plate to mount aT50 box which are a split case.GREG

Despite eveyone saying the split case toyota box is a good one my mechanic disagrees
He was a Toyota mech in the era of the TA Celicas and he says if you put more than 200 flywheel hp thru them they tend to break 3rd gear.
I'm contemplating going to another box (maybe even a cast case 5 speed as shown) for the supercharged engine for piece if mind.
I've already had to rebuild this T50 twice since I got it (about 100 trackkm or less)

So might have a rebuilt one with bellhousing,clutch,flywheel etc for sale in about 6 mths

I was going to put a t50 box in my ute but everyone talked me out of it as they are too weak so I adapted a w50 same as the one shown in the pick below as thats what a mate of mine put in his sprinter and never had any drama with boxes after that.But in saying all that I have a t50 box that I want to get rid of That I bought and never used

there are 2 t50's available...do you have the stronger one??

How much is a rebuild as my one may need rebuilding?????

Mine cost around $800 to rebuild the first time
Add another $3000 for the close ratio cluster 1:1 5th gear. Needless to say I didn't get that fitted.

The T50 the gearbox came on the rwd 4age. They r #### n break very easily... a ford sierra 4/5spd box will take the licks or W50/W58 toyota boxes.
