does anyone have any info about putting a 6 speed M trans in my 1st gen xB.
i know it can be done
what series is "our" trans?
would i need different axles?
electrical?
mounts?

 

if i recall correctly, the 6-speed from the celica gt-s fits up to the engine just fine, but you have to notch the frame to get it to fit, don't know if it has been successfully done though really...you'll have to dig through some old threads in the xa/xb drivetrain forum, try SEARCHING

 

I know what you need to do to swap a 6 speed, I and others have posted it up many times here in the past so please use a search.

 

come on guys, ive been aroung long enough to know how to use the search.
i wouldn't be asking if i haddent done a detailed digging threw the search.

 

How funny I to wanted to find out some info on the 6 speed MT for the xb and I used the the almighty SEARCH tab and it brought me back to this link.

 

you know if people gave a decent title the there thread (like i did and always do) it would make the search alot easier.
istead you get stuff like "question", "help", or "tell me what you think"

so mister "bB384"
if you would be so kind, tell us one more time or post a link, and when people do a search.................. they will find just what thay are looking for

thanks for the threads

ive seen the first 2
Wraith is the only person that i know that has done it but he hasn't given any more info about the competion or how its worked out so we don't real know what happend or if it even worked right.

 

i found this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...lenotsupported

 

that tranny looks like an automatic to me with for a rwd car or truck...

 

The tranny in that Ebay listing is not for a Celica, infact its not even for a front wheel drive vehicle, actually its not even for a Toyota.

 

ist the celica gts rwd?

i did a little more digging and it seams the c160n should be from a corola

 

Nope its FWD. You can also try the Corolla XRS and Matrix XRS as well since they share the same engine & tranny (not the current gens though because they all reverted back to 5 speed).

 

Find/get a C160 from a AE111 Levin which comes with a mechanical LSD
- Remove your old bell-housing and attach it to your C160
- Notch almost 2 inches off your framerail to allow clearance for the C160 since its a longer thansmission case
- Get Corolla S axel seals

After you do what I listed, everything matches up, including your axels and clutch.
Good luck finding one, and yes this the only one you can use on a 1NZ-FE

This information is tested and is legit, since Wraith personally told me this what needs to be done, and its what he did to his car.

 

perfect info, thankyou very much

 

Let me know if and when you find one since. I'm looking for onme myself, turst me they are not easy to find, and when you do find one you might have to pay a pretty penny for it.

 

Just curious, is the process the same with an xA?
