W50 vs W58 - need info to do the swap on my RA28

[wilbo666]

i cant see why it would be any different to a SA63, or even a RA60/65. they all run a W55 as a manual with the exception of some RA65's (W58). i think also that the xmembers are the same between auto an manual but you'll have to sus that out for yourself....could be wrong.

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

cheers

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
