    Checking the ratios is the easiest way mate.

    thats definitely a W5x box, the only way to tell it is a W58 is the ratios.

    Judging by the shifter position and bellhousing I'd say its a W55 from an SA63 Celica.

    I'd have to agree with you there...

    Someone with an SA63 may have replaced their W55 with a W58 and swapped over the shifter housing and bell, but more than likely not...
