W55/W57 gearboxes.

[matt dunn]

After some info and identification of some of these gearboxes.

I want to order some gearbox parts from Toyota but need chassis numbers from some cars to make sure I get the right parts.

I run a gearbox with a shifter location the same as this pic.

I want a chassis number of a car that comes with a w55/w56/w57 etc etc with the shifter in this position
so i can order a part from it.


Also want the chassis number of a car that has W57 on the chassis tag,
so i can order some parts specific to those ratio's.

Thanks

Matt

I think I have that position W55 Matt. It is still in the car at the moment.
Once it is out I will confirm the position and post the build plate...
Do you have a measurement from front of box (not bell) to centre of shifter hole? Just to avoid hassles.

I'll have a look at the position of my w55 and grab a pic of the ID plate tonight.

[Mr Revhead]

looks like a gx81 turbo has the right box.

So have you got it sorted?
I have the pics of my cresta box and tags etc...

If you could email me a pic of the box and the tag etc etc would be great.

ive seen a few jdm gx61 with the mid/rear shifter position like in pic.
my '85 'nz new' ma61 celica/supra has factory w57 in it.. with front shifter position. ma61's usually have w58 in them so it may be the 'nz new' ones that got the 57? hope that helps

the 4 common positions...

front
ta63 + tt142 GT-T 3tgte w55, ma61?

mid
CE71 wagon W51 or W56

mid-rear
80's cressida's

rear
*a70 supra

the easy way to remember which position is which by looking at what angle the shifter housing slopes up from the end of the alloy tailhousing (where metal output shaft shroud fits onto)
front = angle forward
mid = straight up
mid/rear = angle rearward
rear = horizontally rearward

later model large sedans?

Shit that post is GOLD.
Couldnt find a good set of comparison pics anywhere, looked high and low for ages!

Should be put in FAQ!

[Mr Revhead]

agreed, done

if anyone has other info, or seem good threads let me know

[thegreatestben]

My GX81 uses mid rear position.
The w58 out of a GA70 has that position so I'd Say *A70's and maybe *A60's would be rear shifter

[KinLoud]

I added a pic of the shifter and buildplate of the gx61 I parted. Might help you Matt
