can some teach me where on earth on the gearbox has stamping, mark that say it is T50, k50, k40, t40??

20v_ke35. I don't think it's actually stamped anywhere. Not that I've seen anyway.

 

You should be able to tell between T50 and T40, one is 4 speed, one is 5 speed :angrybird: Same with K box.

 

K box looks quite different to T box.

any pic?? what kind of different??? i know that 40=4 speed, 50=5speed, k with kengine, t with t engine...but when the box in the junk yard how u can tell which is which?? :angrybird:

you learn what they look like from pictures, or you look at other cars in the wreckers and compare differences

If it's bolted to a K engine (and I'm sure you know what that looks like) chances are it's a K box. Or, jack your car up and look underneath. If it looks like yours, it's a K box.

Basically the box is done apart from serious modifications to the tailhousing to allow for 5 speeds in reverse in case of a spin :thumbsup: we never got ke55 here but i`d say they look like ke30 floorpan at a guess gearlever in the same spot so yeah it`ll bolt in,as for a part number for the bellhousing one day if i have some spare time i might go and look it up... but then again why should i when ive got one already :angrybird:

Because I don't have one! :angrybird:

 

IF you can find a part number, that would be excellent, otherwise, I'll just have to find another way around the matter... as we all do :thumbsup:

Ok ok i`ll go have a look when i get a chance the guy i bought it from ordered it new from japan and he reckons its a us spec ke35 T box bellhousing so thats where i`ll start :angrybird:

If I could, I'd kiss ya! hahahahahahaha

 

Just kidding

 

Thanks dude! :angrybird: That would be a big help.

hold on a minute.....

i know we got the k40 and k50

but i have seen a k51 from a starlet (what i'm using now)

and a k61 (5 speed)from an EFI starlet....it has evenly spaced gears.

the k61 has a totally different bearing retainer than the k50,51

does k box can be bolt on to 4ag ??? heard some mechanic tell me it can...but some friend tell can't....how about u guys???

there is a k50 which came on 3a-u motors, but you wouldn't use it, it would break very quickly behind a 4age. find a t50

I think the "T" gearboxes bolt up to 4ag motors. "K" boxes don't.

Besides, "T" boxes are stronger and will bolt straight up to a 4ag motor. It doesn't make sense to change down to a weaker gearbox and spend more money making it fit.

Thats how i understand it anyway. Correct me if i'm wrong guys.

 

*EDIT* There you go. Jamie just beat me to it.

k box can out hold how much power??? i think for a standard 4ag it can hold till 4 to 5 years...

You wouldn't put a K50 behind a 4AG, not when T50's grow on trees for them.
