B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Its a T50 gearbox with what appears to be a JDM A series bell housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryE10 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thats great news!! got a 5a-fe lying around. Will it bolt straight on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'd assume so if a T50 can bolt to a 7AFE block for a 7AGE conversion. But don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldeskewltoy Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure the bell housing is for a 4AGE equipped car, the throwout fork opening is on the side not shown, that is the location for cars that came equipped with the 4AGE... because if the opening, and fork were on the other side... they would interfere with the exhaust.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, probably correct for your location. Aussie ae86 and ae71 came with 4ac engines with the exhaust on the other side so the fork is on the opposite side to the pictured gearbox.

cherryE10 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 got a FWD 5a-fe (jdm-only motor)so when mounted in RWD setup, exhaust mani is on your right(when you look from in front of the car). is that the correct position please? don't want to blow €300 away!!

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes thats correct. Even with the exhaust on the fork side (when converted to 4AGE) in Aussie cars we just put a banjo joint on the clutch line for slave clearance.

LittleRedSpirit Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm not a big fan of buying 30 year old boxes that have been stood on the end like that. There now is most likely 30 years of crud inside the input chaft bearing, and it will never be quiet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
