Gearbox Question

Featured Replies

Hey guys

 

As you can see by the description I'm new to corollas and I've got a ke70 flat front and just wondering if a five speed box and other associated parts from a ke30 would fit in my ke 70

Probably the rear part of the gearbox is too short, so the gearlever comes up too close to the front of the hole. The Ke70 has a long output casing.

 

That means driveshaft will be different too. All you can do is measure it or take a photo of the gearbox & stick it up. Gearbox internals are the same.

The shifter holes won't line up mate, so I'd advise swapping your ke30/55 5 speed and crossmember with someone with a ke70 5speed and crossmember that has a early ke :)

 

I you can just cut a new hole for it but the shifter will hit the dash

Tailhousings / gearboxes are the same length, ke30 ones just appear to be shorter due shifter position is further forward.

That means you can use your old driveshaft with it.

 

If you already have a 5speed in your ke70 you can just switch the tailhousing with shifters over.

If not, you will need tailhousing with shifter from a ke70

unless you want to cut a shifterhole 10cm further forward

Hey guys thanks for the info my ke70 has an auto in but I know where a ke30 I think it's a ke30 maybe 55 but it's a five speed and it's been sitting there for years do I'm trying to get in contact with the owner to see if he/she wants to sell and my ke70 will get a five speed soon enough although I don't really mind cutting the whole further forward if that's what I have to do just one other question does the pedal ox between the two or is it different

if its got an auto, driveshaft yoke probably wont fit. Might be able to swap over the yoke from ke55 by renewing front uni joint

 

Will need a ke7 k50 gearbox crossmember as well. ... remember putting a spigot bearing in flywheel and bypassing

 

neutral switch. pedalboxes /clutchwire not the same

 

Better of finding a Ke7 donor

Ok cool thanks for the info just scored a free ke70 gearbox off a friend and also buying a 4 speed manual ke25 wagon off him for 200 bucks and what I can't find on ke25 wagons it sounds like a pretty good find

You will need a manual pedalbox too for the 70 of your converting it bud
