Does anyone know what gearbox will fit into my KE70 using a 3T-GTE without chopping holes for the shifter? W58?

a T50 will pop out in the correct place

there are 4 common shifter positions that can be found on the supra alloy W box W55, W57, W58 etc. and there will be at least two that should line up with the ke70 hole assuming you're using te71 crossmember/mounts. you are able to swap the shifter housing and selector fork to get the correct position. i've had in use 3 of the shifter positions in my ke70.. the rear most one i reversed the shifter 180deg and bent it backwards again.. but the middle two will be closest fit.

 

T50 from 80's era will line up too. hope your not thrashing it too hard.

Is about the most useful piece of information about the W box I've ever heard :)

 

Cheers for that, know doubt will come in handy at some stage

i had to cut a hole to fit a w58 into my ta22 and i had to cut a hole for my ke55 with a t50 dunno if that helps but yeah

ta22, ke2, ke3, ke5, kp6 etc use a further forwards shifter position than the later toyota gearboxes found in ke70 and late 70's onwards rwd toyota.

the earlier t50 version found in ta22, te27 and a rare ke35 variant that has the forwards position shifter, but wont need to worry bout that in a ke70.
