all toyotas are like that ie an a340 is about 5" longer than a w5#
you would probly just need a manual gbox xmember and a manual tailshaft but i havn't looked at one so i cant say 100%

Just got the auto out from my 91 hiace, and noticed the manual box that i want to install is way shorter.
have a look at the pics:
The bellhousing bolt pattern is the same, the only thing stopping it going in and working is tha fact its about half a foot too short, the mount wont line up to bolt in, and of course the driveshaft isnt gong to reach. Im stumped. the fellow who sold it to me said its from a 94 hiace 2rz (same as mine) and that it will be suitable... yeah right!!
My best guess is it came from a short wheel base hiace and mine is a longwheel base.
Does anybody know for sure? and if i am still able to use this box by changing that last section with one form a LWB hiace gearbox?

So im totally confused to say the least.

you could be right Linden, im starting to think the fellow must of sent me an auto tailshaft and gearbox mount instead of a manual. Either that or its all suitable for a shortwheel base hiace.
