First Off I'd like to apologize to the people I told that the final drive was 3.930 ... I recently double checked with Toyota about the final drive which is 3.526

This thread is a spec sheet for the conversion I'll be doing this end of the month ... C150N which is our tranny to C160N which is the 6spd off a '96 to '97 AE111 Black Top 20valved Levin Corolla...

heres your specs:
GEAR C150N C160N
1st---------------------3.545---------------------3.166
2nd---------------------1.904---------------------2.050
3rd---------------------1.310---------------------1.481
4th---------------------0.969---------------------1.166
5th---------------------0.815---------------------0.916
6th-------------------------------------------------0.725
reverse----------------3.250--------------------3.250
Final Drive------------3.526---------------------4.529

ok guys ... I was shown the light tonight... I stand corrected ... I went on with a long and informative conversation with KAAZ's head Tech guy Saji and he said that their is no way of actually converting the C150 into a C50 input shaft or final drive... So the only way to do it is convert over into a C50 trans from a XB, XA, MR2 Spyder, Corolla, or 1zz-fe Celica... The way to do it is using the XB and XA because it should bolt right up ... But the problem with the rest is the housings are different...

I saw my car finally and didnt know that the 6spd was already in and then taken out because of the wrong bearing... But, anyway they need to cut my frame to make the 6spd fit but they also boxed welded the part of the frame they cut which means its alot stronger...

My original theory of swapping tranny case over was also wrong... I had originally thought that you would need to convert over the internals into our case... But, heres the brake down ... You need to swap bell housings and the rest is C160 (make sure its a C160 6spd off a Levin BZG Black top 20Valve) then the rest is history ... Everything else bolts up except your required to cut...

I apologize if I gave the wrongfull information... These was my theory and thought it thru every angle except for this one... i.e. the cutting

Please make sure you get the C160 because the difference in the axles are big. Between the C160 and te C60 off the Celica

But, by this time tomorrow... I will be officailly the first 6spd Echo in the world... Thanx to KAAZ
