were you able to get console aswell ??

You would use 5th gear on the freeway, around town the max you would probably shift up to is 4th before you start slowing down. Ahh, trimatic. Thats a dirty word, as long as it does the job thats the main thing mate. I wouldnt mind coming to see your 55. When are you free?

Brian,

Unfortunatley the console had a crack in it, so I left it there. It was grey too which was a shame, I'm assuming your is grey with the green/silver exterior? Paul believed it was an auto console surround even thought it had the fake leather around it. I'll buy one other grey manual console cover off Paul eventually, or swap for something of interest :(

Hopefully I can make the cruise so I can see it, yeah waiting for the rwc and reg is the frustrating part so I know how you feel.

nah my cars got blue interior but i don't have blue manaul console and the car bought for manual had grey interior aswell but it was damaged

Today dad and my self did more cleaning, this time on the diff. The thing was caked with grease like no tomorrow, heaps of degreser was sprayed on and it eventually bubbled away at the grime. As the weather was beginning to turn (rain) I did the quick option and pulled out a tin of petrol and paint brush and went to town that way. Now its schmick and begging for a few coats of gloss black.

 

While I was giving the t-50 a second wash, I noticed where the extension housing mates to the main body of the box there was a relatively new metallic gasket installed which is always a good thing I suppose. I might go out and start buying or shopping around for some new parts too, and maybe buy a gasket for the back or the diff cover plate too.

 

In the boot of the ae82 was a 5 speed gearknob floating around, and next to it was two old casettes. I put each cassette into the deck and guess what..... I plays sounds crysal clear!!! bass, treble, balance, side 1 or 2 shuffle mode works perfectly. Just the Neil Diamond tape was a dud :(

:P I'm guessing you can get from repco, supercheap or bursons? As all three are in Thomastown I'll go and buy some.

Thanks for the heads up Evan.

its called 1207c "redish brown sealant"

 

if they don't stock it they should be shut down!

Your bits and pieces are coming up nice and clean Ben. I have a parts washer at work, if you need some bits done you can leave them with me and i'll clean them after work for you.

Thanks for the offer Matt but the dirty things are nearly clean, I just have to start buying parts now :P

Okay the homework has begun and I have obtained prices. Just a little problem though, I ask for a clutch kit for an ae71 Corolla and its all good, but then the question is whether its an Australian gearbox or Japenese gearbox? I thought all T-50s were japenese, anyway I asked what the difference was between the pair and discovered that the Australian kit is 210mm while the Japenese is 215mm.

 

I don't have a clutch plate or relevant component to measure so I don't know what size it is, also is there any difference in starter motors for auto's and manual's. Or are they just the same?

 

Here are some photos of the diff clean, and removal of rear cover plate to create a new gasket.

 

Factory red check paint now visible

The real Mc Coy.....

i came across the problem off clutch aswell apartly you can use the clutch trust bearing to tell the difference between the 2 clutchs

Thanks for the tip Brian, but i'll go back the wreckers today as I need to purchase the manual starter motor and while I'm there i'll measure the diameter of the clutch plate.

Today I ordered the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder from Repco, I went back at 4pm to pick up the slave and on Monday the Master will arrive for me to claim. Then I went to ABS and purchased a new rear rubber brake line hose. Later in the afternoon dad and I went to pick a part to measure the clutch plate and its the Aus version (200mm) in diameter, so now thats sorted.

 

And lastly I bought the manual starter motor which I gave a quick clean up (very greasy) and left it at the autolec so he can bench test, and replace any parts which may require attention. Better to do it while its out I think. :P

 

More photos too including the installation of the new diff plate gasket, and a thorough wire brushing of the whole unit to remove any dirt before giving it a lush coat of gloss black.

 

Here is a photo of the doner car if anyone wants other CSX parts, the tacho dash is still there so I took a photo of it.
