79gooser Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) So I have a 79 Corolla with a K series transmission, and I had heard that the Starlet transmissions were the same. I was just wondering if an 82 Starlet transmission would fit into my car (79 Corolla). Thanks! also if this is in the wrong section let me know Edited September 10, 2016 by 79gooser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 82 starlet would be fwd. You need to look for one from a kp starlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 They made KP's till '84 taz. If it's a k50 it'll bolt up to the engine, you may run into crossmember and gearstick location issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what sort of gearstick location issues, like will I have to move it forwards or back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo2 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Since Your 79 Corolla is a ke30 there wont be any location issues. Same shifter location as kp6# A wide range of corollas were made in 79` ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloRolla Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Would this work with starlet engine but corolla box? (looking at the GT engine ofc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Would this work with starlet engine but corolla box? (looking at the GT engine ofc) Are you referring to the EP71/EP82 Starlet GT? That's FWD with a completely different engine and transmission compared to what the OP was referring to (RWD and K-series) Edited March 8, 2017 by Hiro Protagonist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
