Assist identifying my gearbox 4spd lsd


Recommended Posts

hi guys,i had a crash with my stock ep91 and my gearbox was damaged c140 4spd(long ratio and was hitting the limiter at 1st=60km/h 2nd=100km/h,3rd=140 4=done 170 assuming its 180/km/h) ,after it was replaced by the garage i noticed the replacement 4spd gearbox is short ratio and has an lsd?damn the lsd is sweet,how do you identify the gearbox where is the model indicated.I've been searching the net theres no info on this gearbox.could it be a 5spd , i dont know?do the linkages matter,is there a difference in the linkages /gear selector ?they just bolted it on.any assist will be appreciated.its kind a short ratio 1st=40 ishkm/h 2nd=80km/h 3rd=120km/h 4=never gone above 140km/h cause the ratios are short its just screaming never bothered going past that.


thank you in advance

Gearing does seem like 5 speed ratios. Have you tried shifting into where 5th would be? I know when we fit 6 speeds to our cars we have to notch the shifter mechanism to allow for the extra movement over to reverse maybe its the same case with yours and 5th?

Im actually surprised you had a 4 speed in an ep91 i didnt even know they did them.

Theres no markings on the boxes unfortunately. It wont be an mr2 box as the shifter mechanism is on the front of the gearbox for them and also it wouldn't bolt up as they have 4age engines and the boxes aren't easily interchangeable

It could easily be a corolla box or even a normal starlet 5 speed

If using a phone download tapatalk, thats the easiest way now. If on a laptop, imgur or tinypic etc then post the img link.

Or as above, paid member and direct upload, this is easiest on a laptop but if using a phone can be done by switching to desktop view and full editor.

cool yo check them images.thanx.
