16 Spline Ke10 Trans Guts Vs 19 Spline

[CorollaNut68]

I'm losing the guts in my transmission. It's getting where it pops out of gear and won't go into gear sometimes....synchro's going, lots and lots of miles.

I have a 19 spline later model trans that got the rear case broken and the output shaft slightly bent when a front u-joint broke. I have it mostly torn down with the shafts and gears all out and it seems all the internals are fine. It was working well before the break.

Can I slide all these guts off the 19 spline shaft and put them on the 16 spline shaft? Most of the gearing and synchros are on the output shaft which seems to be splined the same where it fits the driveshaft.

I see no difference in the book other than the splines on the input shaft, and being my only transport I will have to get it all done, back together and tested on one weekend. It only takes a few minutes to tear down but I would hate to pull the trans, tear it down and find out the shafts are different diameters inside or something. I can't just "get" another whole trans around here. Has anyone ever tried this?

Wouldn't know about 16 vs 19 compatibility, but I can tell you a stripped down 2 19's once to build 1 good one. Its a very fiddling job and you would want to give yourself a goodwhile day to swap stuff over if you could do it.

The 19 came apart pretty easily...laid out in order. Haven't removed the gearing from the output shaft yet. If the 16 will keep limping me to work without coming apart, first chance I get I will then pull this one apart and then piece by piece, slide everything off both, swap em out and hope, because from that point on it's all or nothing.

I have to keep this one going until I save the money for the other KE I found. 69, yellow, all there, runs and drives...they want $1500
