    Question Manual Gearbox Needed

    Hi Ive got a 1976 toyota corona mark2, original running gear ( 6cyl auto ), was thinking of changing to 5 speed, so I need gearbox, bellhousing, pedalbox and clutch assembly any help would be great. Emgine is a 4m...Was going to drop in a toyota v8 but after speaking to a few people the cost would probably of knocked me out due to the brake upgrade needed also the fact that I live in Sydneys west and the travel to the shops needed to carry out conversion would be a drama, so any help with the manual conversion would be great, thanks

    I still see the odd manual MX23 & MX32, with all the manual parts...
    But the MX's only had the W40 box (4 speed)..
    But i think the Celica W50 will bolt up to the W40 bell housing..
    or a MA61's W58 with "M" bell housing..

    cheers

    PS. For a disc brake conversion, see "How to fit RT142 rear disc's to most 4 studs" thread

    Sounds good, what model car is it and what motor is it sitting behind, If its bolted up to a 4m motor than that would be perfect, although I would only need all parts for the conversion, not the whole car, thanks

    I have a spare W50 and a bellhousing that may be for a 4M, but I am not sure. Can anyone take a pic of a 4M engine to check the bolt pattern?
