steve_tm Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 hey all i was sold this gear box saying it was a k-50, however after having a few mates look at it, no one can really tell me what it is! it looks like a T-50 with a bell houseing K-T the gear box bolts up fine to th K-5 engine, and the drivetrain from the auto that was in the car also fits the output shaft of the so called k-50. could someone please confirm what this box is, and if it is a t-50 or k-50 what do they come out of, since i have to chase down a shifter and box mount any help would be much appreciated thanks heaps Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nice find And i'd reckon you would have gotten your t50 with a k bellhousing pretty dirt cheap to As for cars - most that had a t-series motor (like ta22 celica, t18) or an a-series rear drive donk (eg ae71) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav_555 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 t-50, looks to big to be a k50 how much you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) He's right, your a lucky devil, def a K - T bell housing there. those bellhousings go for $200 on there own. It's a TA22 box by the forward sitting shifter.

Xany Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just a question....what car is it going into? I may be able to help you with some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo2 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Great find. The rubber mount can be from any t-box I think, but the shifter must be from a forward shifter pos. one (ta22 celica) Try to track down the one that was there originally. You can probably use a k40 gearbox crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_tm Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Xany - Its going into a 73 KE-20, yeh if you have any info for it it would be awsome, cheers tojo2 - i've been told i can use th original cross member and just move it back to some pre-set provision holes. i'll find out when i give it a go this week, haha. all i'm now hunting for is a shifter, so hopefully i can get one somewhere without buy th whole bloody box. can't get hold of th guy i got the box/engine off tho, but i start hunting down th TA-22's at wreckers, hopefully i get lucky! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camerondownunder88 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I take it the guy who sold it to you was wreckign a KE35 coupe? Most KE35 coupes were a T50 if they were a 5 speed model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most KE35 coupes were a T50 if they were a 5 speed model Ahh, wouldn't they be K50s? KE35s seem to be a lot more common than T50s with a K-T bellhousing.

Some early ke35s (before mid 76) came with wireclutch t50. Could it be thats when they started making k50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
