NoPsi Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Ok. I am seriously considering an auto conversion for wagon of death as I am looking to build it into a cruiser not a bruiser. If I were to run an injected 5k or 7k motor what auto do the k gods suggest? Is there a 4spd to bolt in or am I stuck with old 2/3spds? I don't really want to run to the trouble of converting w-k or w-t either. That wreaks of effort. I am looking for the easiest and simplest late model smooth to drive efi conversion.

Teddy Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Toyoglyde was an amazing 2 speed with the exclusive Ratios at 1 and 1.18? Trimatic or traumatic, being a 3 speed - Leaky, strong and bad ratios. Theres the A40 which is a 4 speed i think ? Auto, by toyota. Which wouldnt be too bad.

JiP Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'd be interested too as I hope to keep My Hardtop auto. An A40 wouldn't bolt up would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPsi Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 So is there a bellhousing that will suit K-A that will be easy to source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammo[RL] Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The toyoglide 2 speed IS an amazing box! The ratios are actually 1.82, and 1. Good for a top speed of around 140ks!, 0-100 in about oh, a long weekend. The holden trimatic, would be easy to get parts for tho, and maybe be able to beef it up a bit too.

Taz_Rx Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The K-W option is pretty easy and cheap, just a matter of finding all the parts, but thats still heaps easier than finding K-T bits! :y: Nothing has to be modified except the W spline onto a corolla tailshaft, with a holden uni joint. No shortening or lengthening is required. Basically all you need is: KM20 liteace bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, clutch fork, TOB retainer. and the just the W40 or W50 with the output spline to suit. I paid $50 for mine. Only reason I haven't got it in the car yet, and hence updated the thread is because that car is now off the road getting EFI stuff done. When it is running again it will be with the W50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPsi Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nice one Si. This is why Rollaclub is the bible for corollas. Thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phife Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Unfortunately the A40 is also a 3 speed by Aisin-Warner, found behind the 4AC AE71. The K-series 3 speed is the A30. Apparently there was a RWD 4 speed behind an A-series engine but is found in JDM and USDM markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPsi Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yeah it sounds like a W series 4spd auto is the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) :) dunno if the auto will be as easy as a manual. Is there actually such a thing as a W series auto anyway!? The ease of the manuel conversion is only due to the "fluke" of the KM20 flywheel/clutch! It has a K flywheel, but with a clutch diametre and spline right for the 29mm/19T input shaft. Do some research into auto KM20's (if they exist) and see if you can find a similar fluke. :y: Edited August 9, 2007 by Taz_Rx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 :y: dunno if the auto will be as easy as a manual. Is there actually such a thing as a W series auto anyway!? Nope, pretty much all Toyota's autos are A-series, with different numbers and number of digits representing individual gearboxes. W-series are purely manuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phife Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Here's a link to an incomplete guide to the A-series autos. LINKY There won't be any straight bolt up options in 4speed unless you can find a swappable bellhousing with maybe corona/celica etc. Might also have to factor in mounting, and whether the thing will fit!

NoPsi Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Argh. Maybe I'll just have to fork out for another motor combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) I have a Toyoglide, it was behind the 1.5L 2R in my RT40 Corona, it was removed today and wait for it. It was rubbish there is a reason I'm doing a 4AG on twin solex conversion Jordan Edited August 10, 2007 by Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
