Checked the VIN today... it is a grey market car and it's a TE72. That part never occured to me to look at lol. Thanks guys... I'll see if i can't get pics/stats up for it... it's freakin' sweet. Would you by chance have either of those parts mike? i HATE trying to find them...

SO i have the 81 TE (71 or 72) and am having tranny problems. Upon talking to some of you, i was told springs can be a factor... are they easy to do??

Here's the thing though... my car was IMPORTED from Japan in 1981... so i really don't know if the AE86 will bolt up. As far as the 81 liftback parts, i can't seem to find any.

I see. I do need a tranny and possibly the differential. Tranny is for sure... 4th likes to pop out when i hit rough spots... plus in any other gear than 4th, i get this HORRIBLE grinding noise from under my floorpans... It would make sense the guy didn't have the model right... he was an idiot. I don't have a digital camera, so I'm limited as to how to post pics... There's a thread on here that shows the exact car i have minus the twin cam, though i can't find it again. Thanks for the info all!

Hey all. I just bought me a 1981 Corolla SR-5 Levin. I was told it's the TE-71, but haven't been able to find parts for it. I was also told parts from the AE86 would bolt up from the suspension up. I guess my question is, how accurate is this info? I JUST got it and need some major parts, but based on the info i've been given, i can't find the parts. I need a new tranny ( or just re-geared) and possibly a rear differential. I've scoured the internet every day for a month now... no dice. Can anyone help? :)
