TRD ke70 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 4 speed or 5 speed??? I'm assuming it's a K engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Basically the only difference is the shifter position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidrat Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) its a 4 speed. i am looking at putting a 20 box in my 70 but i thought i had heard they did not fit. so does the shifter come out in a completely different position? or can i still make it work? sorry yes it is just for a 4k Edited September 6, 2010 by skidrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 You'll need to cut a new hole in the tunnel, pretty sure the shifter is closer to the front of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidrat Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 ok thanks guys. I'm not overly keen on cutting a new hole in the tunnel. so I'm glad i got onto you guys first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 ..so just swap the rear gearbox housing from your KE70 onto the KE20 gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 There'll be a couple of holes on the bellhousing that won't line up. Not enough to matter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongwow! Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thought there where a bit shorter?? not 100% thoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some early blocks had different bolt spacings - a couple miss out by half a hole. Just leave them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 ok thanks guys. I'm not overly keen on cutting a new hole in the tunnel. so I'm glad i got onto you guys first. KE30/55 shifter pos is a couple of inch further forward than KE70. KE20 is about the same again further forward so a '20 box in a '70 would have the shifter coming though...... :bash: just in front of the heater box!!! :laff: Pongwow! - Pretty much all Toyota RWD gearboxes are the same length. :rolls: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono1986 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 How bout the rear mount for the manual boxes, are they all in the same position or do they differ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyZ Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 save starting a new thread, size wise and shifter location are the T series and W series boxes same length and width, and are the shifters basically in the same spot. just the bellhousing is different?
