C56 is a common conversion, shorter final drive and a few different gear ratios. Same design internally. Just swap off the 4age bellhousing and drill the passenger side mounts into the casing and your good to go. Good and strong.



C160 also fit but are a weaker box. Probably fine for most setups though.



Larger E series boxes don't physically fit without massaging the chassis

Do 2nd gear crunch?

No everything is fine no crunches, the shorter ratios give it more of a punch in the lower gears than a starlet box. only thing you have to modify is the shifter as reverse is next to first on this box. just need to notch some plastic from the shifter housing. gear cables, mounts etc are a straight swap

Stock c52 and c56 are very similar other than the c56 is a shorter ratio box. Both are pretty strong.

C150 (EP71 N/A), C152 (EP71 Turbo), C160 etc are all lighter weight gearboxes

Will a C64 Gearbox fit? Does it hold enough power?

E58 would be perfect!!!

Not sure what all would need done to make a c64 fit but Juba do an uprated 3rd/4th gear for them so def a swap I'd be interested in.

Come in Toyota engines lotus etc

E58 can hold tons of Newtonmeter Torgue =D

bit heavier.. but i think u cant break it with a starlet

does somebody now how Strong the C64 gears are compared to C52?

No way of getting e85 gearset into our casing/bell housing?

NO sry, no chance to do that

i think i try C64 swap in my starlet. Think this will hold better than C52..

300whp is much..

Fire us as many details as u can

I wondered before if a c64 gearset would fit in one of the 6speed gearboxes that people use from a g6 corrolla? Then mate it to the c52/56 bellhousing?

Pretty sure the c64 casing isn't suitable in terms of selector position and starter position etc being from a rear engines rwd lotus

What gearbox comes in a fwd tsport 2zz?

Its just a case of using the right housings so that the gearbox bolts to a e series engine.

EDIT:

Its interesting looking a the ratio comparisons between the C56 and the C64.

C56

A 5-Speed Manual Transmission for FWD and mid-engine cars. Compared to the C50/52, it features close-ratio 3rd-to-4th gearing.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Reverse Final

3.166 1.904 1.392 1.031 0.815 3.250 4.312

C64

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Reverse Final

3.166 2.050 1.481 1.166 0.916 0.815 3.250 4.529

Really short final drive, would be doing a fair few revs at 100kph!
