Please try and keep to the english language. Reading that hurt my head.

T50 is celica and wont bolt to your k motor unless you have a K- T bellhousing..

 

Other is K50 yeah.. bolt to any K motor. only diff in K motor 5 speeds is the KE70 shifter is more towards the rear.. about 10cm back i think

Photos would help in identifying them..

but i don't if the other one is a celica 5 speed

if you have any info please let me know thanks heaps

I thought the later model K50's (KE70) had slightly different internals, like larger layshaft bearings or something?

Something would have to be different internally for the shifter position to be further back. But I'm pretty sure that they would be the same ratios.

You only need to change the length of the selector rods to move the shifter position....gears/shafts/bearings etc could all stay the same

As I've done this before, to change the selector position, you only need to swap over the rear extension housing between 5 speed K50's.

 

4 speed one's wont interchange with the 5 speed variant.

New pic's

They're both k50s. The one with the shifter further back is out of a ke70.

Ah no. YOU'RE WRONG.

 

I have a 7k in my wagon with a regular old K50 behind it.

Yes the 7k block is wider, but the all the K GB patterns are the same.

use the clean one. cause its clean.
