shaq Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 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. Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 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 Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Can you take any photos of the box? Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaq Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 okay we like dirty pics but not this kind(excuse the leaky driveshaft seal needed to check parts seals and stuff,thats why i need you guys/i know drop the gbox as soon as i get a chance,i dont like her leaky)lo and behold the gearbox that gotaway from toyota area 51.it clearly says ''3''. unless i i got a prototype gearbox woo.but im hoping its just a known gearbox make it easier getting parts i need for her. http://imgur.com/aatgpBg http://imgur.com/YljXS0H http://imgur.com/JNuyTT5 http://imgur.com/4xTcNXA http://imgur.com/r45SNAf http://imgur.com/letWPku http://imgur.com/c6pisfQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaq Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 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.
