Just so peeps with know how can see how rare and sought after 5 speeds for A series are in japan compared to Oz and the US

The Dellow conversion kits are around $1200 from memory. a good SH T50 box would be $500. $1700 would be what it would cost here as well. I don't think the Dellow kit includes a tail shaft either.

D,
That gearbox has been for sale for a couple of months now.If not mistaken since january.

The 56A series 5 speed boxes are even more soughted after in japan than the T50 gearbox.
56A 5 speed gearboxes esp the close ratio box won't even last for a week for $1700 !

also the japanese tend to value a-series way more and most cars have a-series modified engines as compared to sr and ca conversions in Oz.

Cheers

I got a T50 for my A12. Getting close to doing the adaptation too.

Original stuff will always command more but for most of us the better t50 box
or other boxes will handle the rare frustration release we so desire

I know many cars running what others would call a "weak" gearbox,some even in rally with no issues whatsoever.The trick is simply the drivers' skill.
You will break any gearbox if you don't shift properly....

The "better" T50 box? Better because it can handle more tq/hp or?

I chose a T50 for availability, Removable bell housing, and I can get TRD gear packs for this box.

I would much rather have a strong gear box that can handle my crappy skills vs a decent gear box that can only handle them for a short time.

Agree Matt
