Hey guys,

 

I'm currently revising some of the info in the FAQ in regards to the K-T50 gearbox options.

 

All I want to know is: Does a T18 T50 gearbox have a 20 spline output like a TA22, or a 22 spline like an AE71/AE86????

 

Would like an answer asap so I can include it! :dance:

 

Cheers,

Si.

20 output spline like ta22

Shanks, thread can now be deleted. :dance:

Still good info to leave around on the public forum. Someone someday will Google it and end up somewhere here.

Was just reading that section, I think you'll find that a T18 gearbox has the same shifter location as an AE71/AE86 box and the TA22 one is different. The reason I say that is because the T18, AE71 & AE86 share the same chassis and as such the same shifter location, whereas the TA22 one is most certainly different. That and my T18 shifter fits into my AE71 and AE86 boxes...

 

But yes the T18 and TA22 share the same output spline of 20.

 

Just thought I should mention so that people don't go buying a T18 box expecting it to suit a KE which is pre KE70.

Hmm, intersting. :yes:

 

Can anybody confirm this and I will revise the FAQ to suit??????

 

I know as much as all T50's have the same shifter, so they are interchangable even from TA22 - say AE86.

 

Understand what you're saying about the chassis being the same between TE72/AE71/AE86, but why didn't they use a 22 spline in a TE72!? :hmm:

 

Somebody got pics of a TE72 T50 please???

Well the shifter on the TA22 box pictured doesn't look like any of mine and I've got an AE71 and TE72 one, but maybe they still mount up the same.

 

I'd imagine the reason for a TE72 to have a 20 spline is because they came out in 79, whereas we didn't see an AE until 83 (either AE71 or AE86).

 

I am reasonably certain T18's ended production in 83 also but I could be wrong, but the age would be the main factor I'd think in the change from 20 to 22 spline.

TRD (Roller club member) is the expert in these gearboxes, the Ta 22 is different in the shifter location and the shifter shafts, but the gear set is interchangeable with the T18.

 

the AE 86 and i think the AE 71 has larger bearings and shafts, there is also something in the bellhousing.

 

the TA22, T18 and K-T bell housing won't fit the later gearbox without some grinding due to the larger bearings.

 

I'm sure there's more???
