Just pure curiosity

Seen alot of starlets with this 6 speed box? anyone on here got it and is it any good? Or just more brownie points when telling the spec? Lol

I beleive the ratios are longer = more speed per gear

[kavan-k]

You must have to gear it properly tho? Surely you cant just bolt it in and away you go with 6 gears? Would be good having another gear but there has to be a flaw in it lol

[TurboTobz]

Don't quote me on this but I think they're restricted power wise to 250bhp area before they're at risk of spewing. I may well be wrong though. They're corola gearbox's

[kavan-k]

Thats a bit shit then i suppose, i would hate to be restricted power wise !

[morgey]

I think the gears are actually shorter meaning better acceleration.

Good for an n/a car if you but with boost it doesn't matter as much.

They are, the 6th gear is about as long as a standard Vs 5th, so quicker acceleration yes, same revs at motorway speeds :-(

[kavan-k]

Quicker acceleration is a win i suppose

[daniel_g]

Can you get a LSD for them ?

[kavan-k]

Good question! Must have a nosey through the forum!

[morgey]

Not sure if they are a 6 or 8 bolt diff. Chances are they are 6 bolt which would mean you can use an n/a or mk1 gt aftermarket diff.

[Chris Green]

Is a Corolla G6 the ones which is good swap?

[daniel_g]

Aye thats the one ^^.

What about levin boxes, AE111 6 speed, that fit ?

I know they are bolted to A series engines, but the G6 is a AFE and that box mates to a starlet.

[morgey]

No the g6R is a 4afe

The g6 is a 4efe.

Either way they are all C series boxes but you would need to change the bell housings

[daniel_g]

Ahhh, decent info.

[morgey]

Also some boxes have different size shafts on the cups. Ae92 corolla gti shafts are bigger than ep91 shafts but both boxes are c boxes. Just to confuse people

[kavan-k]

Thanks for the confusion morgey!! Haha. Id love to hear from someone that has a box in theres, id say it would be some job way a good diff! Standard box is hard to beat but! Handle serious power for a standard one lol

[rmsnoel]

You would get seriously pissed off at constantly changing gears.

[morgey]

I skip gears anyway, and shorter gears mean you could leave it in a higher gear as it could accelerate easier ;)

Geo had one in his ep80 with a few other bits

4th seems to top out around 100mph

[dan106]

How haven't I seen that before? Don't Spose there's a thread is there morgey?

[Glanza Mac]

the corolla 6 speeds will hold the gt and glanza LSDs

Rob.

[daniel_g]

Dan, Build thread here.

He did pure quality EP work with all his starlets, introduced many to 4paws too...

[kavan-k]

Acceleration is mad in that wee minter lol id be so tempted but i can see it running into stupid problems that can be avoided lol. Them corolla boxes be stronger than the standard fte box?

As far as I'm aware no one has tested one to destruction yet! But the sensible limit seems to have been agreed upon of around 250bhp :-P

[Spoon_tuned]

my mate ryan had a 6 speed box in his GT think a lad called bean or something owns it on here now...it was a good gearbox especially with that 6th gear real good for motorways
