I just pulled my NOISY K60 apart today to find the front main bearing VERY rough and the front countershaft bearing rough and the countershaft galled up.

It's an oddball; not like the K50, K51s. The front retainer is different from all the others I've seen, and all the ones in the books.

I need another countershaft, and maybe another retainer and input shaft as these are damaged slightly

Shipping would be high to the states I imagine, so donations are being accepted.... :wink:

Also; if anyone could tell me exactly what a K60 g'box is, please let me know.

K60 is the casting number for KE70 81-83 model K50 five speed

has bigger bearing in layshaft then KE30-55 model gearbox.

Yeah; All the other ones I've owned had either K50, K51, K52 on the bearing retainer and it was far different than this one.

I NEED A COUNTERSHAFT!

If anyone has a parts tranny lying around........

I'd like to have a countershaft, input shaft and bearing retainer if possible.

price + shipping to the states, please.

whats wrong with the retainer?

 

and that shaft is only about $40 new from toyota, is the needle roller bearing that cost $$$$

 

what type of transmission casing is it, smooth or ribbed (thats the outside of the casing) theys 2 types & those shafts are different

 

 

ive done 100's of these boxes & this is the most common problem (except for the retainer) cheap to fix

The retainer is broken on the bottom half where the snap ring goes. I'm sure I could still use it, but If I could get another one, I'd be WAYYYY happy.

There was no such thing as a KE7X in america. The last KEXX corolla was in '77. Then you had the starlet from '81-'84. This is supposedly an '83-'84 4KE K60 and starlets are super rare, especially out here in hillbilly country.

I work for a large auto parts chain and all the bearings I ordered were wrong. I called toyota and the only bearing availible was the front main one. No needle bearings, no shaft.

I would be TOTALLY happy with good used parts, or if new ones are available, I would have to pay someone to buy them and ship them, (hint, hint)

This is my bread and butter, 35mpgs 70 mi ONE WAY to work; it HAS to drive.

Help me Tony; I think you're my last hope.....

p.s. it's a ribbed case.
