jack_wetone Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 okay so someone put me outa my misery what gearboxes do the uk spec ep91s have in them ? Thanks Quote
morgey Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 General rule of thumb with toyota boxes2 digit is thicker gears3 digit is narrow gears (this is the case with C series boxes)the 4, 5 or 6 dictates the amount of gears. C52,56 turbo boxes, thicker gears. C150 uk specProblem with this is i think the lsd box is a c153 but that should have thicker gears lol#tomuchinfo haha Quote
daniel_g Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Every manual EP91 on trade car view (in Japan obviously, UK or Japan should make no difference id of thought, they were all made in the same factory) that has a pic of the chassis plate says C140-01A. Cant see them all being 4 speeds ?! I know you got EP82 N/a in 4 speed. For example https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/toyota/starlet/15941471/ Quote
morgey Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 This is true but everywhere online seems to think the c140 is also a 4 speed Also.Ill check mine out tomorrow its a uk spec. I wouldnt be surprised if they got it wrong though haha Quote
jack_wetone Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 okay well what I really won't to know is are the paseo boxes the same I have both boxes and have seen and been told that they are different ratios according to wiki paseo is the c150 box and at dosent say wich one is the starlet box so ?

5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The paseo gearbox have different ratiosI beleive the paseo gear ratios are more like glanza (longer 3rd, 4th and 5th) Quote
NewbieLewby Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 you wouldn't happen to be the lucky fecker who got that SR in Portsmouth with a dodgy gearbox a while back would you? Quote
jack_wetone Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 yes that was me although there wasn't really anything wrong as such just wined a bit on tick over couldn't hear it once moving I'm only wondering cas I have since put a 5efe engine and box in and i just wondered wich one would be better in my car, I'm not gona put the old one back in but there's another 1 with low milage in my yard and wondered if it's worth getting before it's scrapped to go in mine otherwise I won't bother thanks Quote
NewbieLewby Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 well you got that car for a bargain i would have snapped it up if i had the funds at the time. so youve put a 5E in that SR sounds good Quote
jack_wetone Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 well you got that car for a bargain i would have snapped it up if i had the funds at the time. so youve put a 5E in that SR sounds good yer it pulls nice got loads more torque and got a nice 100hp corolla 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and inlet to fit also so should finish the change off nicely Quote
