diegoh Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Anyone know if I can use a 5 speed column shift from a Hiace with 18r motor? In the future will upgrade to a 7K and will need the overdrive for FWY use. Edited November 2, 2011 by diegoh Quote
Ella Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 easy answer: no. hard answer: you could adapt a W50 with a lot of head scratching (your box is a W40) but youd be pioneering the job i think. Unless someone here has been there already?? pretty well certain the hiace box will be a similar box to earlier hiluxes so wont do the job. Quote
diegoh Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Its lists online that cargo vehicles using the K motor are L40 gearboxes So that would mean the L50/52 would fit? http://members.iinet.net.au/~stepho/engcodes.htm Quote
Ella Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 every liteace ive pulled apart has a W-40 box, stop reading everything online and go ad look at a few cars in person at the wreckers.... Quote
diegoh Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 As for "stop reading everything online" ill take that what I'm reading from you is also in the same boat. I spend most of my time at wreckers but liteaces arent common anymore at the usual places I venture. The last one I owned was 11 years ago so its been a while and are bullet proof so never bothered playing with them. The only ones I remember did resemble a w40 at first sight but apart from the different shifting mechanism rear extension housing they seemed different. If it is a W40, I can easily use a w50 to combine the 2. Quote
