ToyotaTech15 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Replied to your pm,If it's a ep91 LSD box the mounts and shafts are different from standard.I'm taking in you have a starlet?Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Rear mount Is different on them so you'll have to keep the standard rear mount.. Re cvs outers are defo the same as normal GT/V ones.. And only the drivers side shaft is different, not both Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I believe the MK1 MR2 gearbox will fit a starlet engine or so i have been told. However i doubt very much that it will be the MR2 box as there a few differences between that and the starlet one. The BIG difference is that the MR2 box is designed for a rear engined car so the gear linkage system is on the other side of the box. Meaning that the gear linkage would be all custom made.Im currently looking at changing my gearbox to the MR2 version as im building a rear engined kitcar with the 4EFTE engine. As for the Celica box im not too sure?Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 No probs mate.. It's because the only real difference in the box is the diff housing bolted on the drivers side.. Passenger side is all the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 hmmmid engined rear wheel drive starlet anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmer Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 hmmmid engined rear wheel drive starlet anyone? thx guys being dumb about mr2 lolwill it be worth fitting the side mounts as will not give same effect as all 3 mounts!?both the driveshafts did not fit either side so cant be an non-turbo box? is that right?EDITED: sorry i was wrong lol passenger side fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You may aswell fit the side ones.. And then get a custom polybush for the rear one.. You won't have a non turbo gearbox as you have an LSD one, which is an option for the turbo models..In what way didn't the shafts fit ? To long/short ? Wouldn't fit in the hub etc..?!?

I had no idea whether cynos' came with them or not..sorry wats cynos?i just found out that the passenger driveshaft fitted. drivers was too short, the splines were the same though so im thinkin it is non-turbo box now! is there any benefit? mechanic says mayb diff gear ratio so will be quicker in lower gears?

I guess you mean gearbox and not just a differential . There is ongoing research on the topic of fitting certain gearboxes on the 4efte here(any new finding will be published there once validated and tested): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
