I wanted to post here, to show the people who work on the issues that i appreciate it. So, to everyone working on the forums and who put the search filter back on the cars for sale thread, i say a big THANKYOU! Makes my life a lot easier. You can lock this thread now if you want, seeing I'm not bringing up an issue. But i really wanted to actually say thanks to the people who do all the work ;)

Isn't the 4a-c mounted to a T50 gearbox in the AE71 though? :D Okay, i think I'm starting to get it. ae71 uses an A>T bellhousing, making it compatible, BUT the G bellhousing, although using a rear W pattern doesn't have the bolt pattern to mate to an A block. So, custom it is. Didn't hurt to ask, but that's topic solved now. Thanks for the help.

Thankyou, but just a little clarification, wouldn't by that logic "A series engine to T series box" -> "T series engines share the same pattern with G series"? So does that mean a G series bell-housing doesn't have the pattern to bolt to the W box?? Nice find. :D

Hey all, new to the forum bla bla bla anyway, A Ke70 corolla is on the books for me, but before i buy I'm working out the details of my future plans for the car yadayada. I'm planning on a W series gearbox to be mated to a 4a-gze motor. The motor in its final stage will be turbo and putting down some pretty ponies so i want a relatively tough and nice box to transmit it. After a fair bit of research i had decided on getting a custom bell-housing from 'niteparts', because although a bit pricey, the quality is apparently top notch and you can also fit a supercharged 4a flywheel in it will minimal modification. Then i came across a bright spark who stated that: "W55,7,8 all will bolt up to a T series engine using a G series bellhousing... Tailshaft in most cars which came with a T50 can be substituted with that of the automatic version, provided they used the A30 or A40." :D As you can understand this is music to my ears. But as i have no hands on knowledge with toyota gearboxes (only word of mouth) I would like a second opinion. Now my question is this: Can you bolt a W series (example, W58) gearbox to a 4a-gze motor using a G series bell-housing? Also, if i bought an auto Ke70 and decided to change it to manual early, would the G series bell housing also bolt up to the 4k? (I see no reason why not, seeing both the 4a and 4k bolt to the T series gearbox...)
