spoon Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi i just replaced the gearbox on my glanza s and there is no sign of fifth and reverse literally no movement at all from the shifter at all. It has a short shifter which is very stiff and uneasy but still had all the gears prior to the gearbox change. Can anyone shine some light on this issue please thanks.

5e colin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 yes u put in a 4 pot ???? or the selector fork for 5th is jammed in tha box ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What car did the box come from ? Some jap EP82 N/a had a 4 speed box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Take the cables off the box and try select gears using the selector on top of the gearbox. If you can get all 5 & R then your problem is either the cables or the shifter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spoon Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 The gearbox is off a 1998 corolla 1.3gs e11 model, thanks daniel_g i'll try that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spoon Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 It can't be a 4pot as it doesn't even have reverse! it'll be something with the shifter etc but we shall wait and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Did you use the brakets/arms from the corolla box or did you swap them for your starlet ones? One of my boxes had different arms so the length of the throws would have been different. If it was too long it might not allow the shifter to go over far enough to allow it in 5th or reverse.Bit of a long shot but worth a mention Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spoon Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks man, i'm going to look into this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spoon Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Still not having any luck with gearbox i've swapped the brackets over, all the gears are there manually its when you attach the linkages to the bracket. The shifter gets really stiff and losses 5th and reverse...SOMEONE HELP!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
