just wanna know what gearbox crossmembers ppl are running in their ae86 with the w50 celica gearbox... need some help. just not sure if its easiest to make one from scratch, or customise an existing one. cheers for any help

I'm sure there a heap of people who have done this mod, but i think the easiest way to do it would be just to fit the gearbox and dummy fit the t50 crossmember and see if you can use it.
If not i'm sure making one from scratch wouldnt be too difficult, even if you dont have a welder, get yourself a 4inch grinder and some steel, cut and drill everything to suit and take it to someone to weld up.

good luck

cheers

Here are pics of the W58 crossmember in my KE70 Ute. May give you some ideas for the W50 crossmember.















This was made by a mate when he owned my ute, with a different engine you may want to sit the engine/gearbox back a little. The 18RG needed a bit more firewall clearance.
