    BZZZZ incorrect.

    SA63 is not the same as RA6X, because of the 2S-C being a little furthur forward Toyota fitted the W55 with the rear most gearbox shifter position and changed the gearbox crossmember to fit.

    The following is what I think is the case....

    RA6X manual = MA61 manual = MZ1X manual
    MA61 auto = MZ1X auto (RA6X auto I have no idea but I suspect not!)
    SA63 manual = SA63 manual

    well its probable then that the SA63 has a different length tailshaft. (front section at least).

    stupid 2s what are they good for really.

    sorry to bring up an old thread.

    can a w58 box swap onto a w50 bellhousing easily?
    I have a custom bellhousing and want to keep it but swap to a w58 box

    No.

    W5x alloy case (W55, W57, W58) cannot bolt to W50 bellhousings.

    Have a look at some pics on google image search when you get a chance
