W55 into KP60

[craigt]

Im going to be fitting a W55 into my Starlet behind a 4AGTE, hopefully using a Niteparts bellhousing. Which is the best shifter location to use,
as these gearboxes can have 4 different shifter locations?
Im not terribly worried if I have to relocate the shifter hole slightly further rearward. Any other problems fitting these boxes into the tunnel?
I havent mounted the engine yet, and I realise I'll have to make a rear gearbox mount.

we just bolted on of brendons bellhousings up to our 4agte with w55 in a ke30, it came with the center-ish shifter and was sweet as

as for mounts etc they were way out so just made up a cross member to suit

Tunnel is tight, needs quite a bit of persuasion. I cheated and used a different tunnel and shifted the firewall back.

no need for extreme mods as metioned above- just raise the gbox into posn, wehre it hits the tunnel just massage(see BASH) it a little, it really doesnt take much
Oh and I found on my one the centre shifter posn worked a treat.

Well I had to widen my tunnel quite a bit! To give the gearbox clearence and also makes taking the box out easier. Bashing the tunnel is a bit gash tho, but it's up to you. But I do have my box sitting right up into the tunnel.
