T56 6 Speed Manual Gearbox to 1UZ-FE Engine Adapter Kits

[DrLorenzo]

Hi All,

If anyone has any questions about using a T56 manual box on a 1UZ engine, I have made an adapter kit that works very well and would be happy to answer anything relating to this type of conversion

Have you put a t56 into a mx83 cressida before?

What version of t56 have you done a conversion with? I assume the commodore vt-vz?

even with google seems a bit tricky but any idea if a later VE tr6060 has the same input shaft length and pattern bellhousing>box?

Im unsure of what the patterns and dimnesions are on the TR6060. But I would certainly be happy to assist with the MX83 install. Should be fairly simple. Ive converted an MX83 to 1UZ manual (W58), and a soarer to manual T56, VT-VZ, and it works well.

Are you located in Sydney? Are you wanting to use a TR6060 box?

no im not in sydeny. a local guy had a tr6060 for sale which is said to be a much nicer box for shifting. Ill just for the earlier vt-vz t56 instead. should be okay with a rip shifter, cant be any worse then a tired w58.

upgrading from the w58 was just curious to know if you knew how much tunnel modding would be needed, if it could be bashed or a new section would have to be made. Its pretty large, esp around the mounting flange. having said that recently a jza80 getrag was put into a mx83 without tunnel mods just by spacing the gearbox x-member down slightly and those boxs are huge.

Hey mate. Well the body of the T56 would be very similar to the getrag. Id almost be certain it will fit without any trouble.

I have a rip shifter thats fairly new, i know they are pricey at about $500 new, but can off this one to you for $300 if that helps persuae you to get the T56.

I also have the adapter plate kit ready to post out.

cheers

Yeah fair enough. I know the r154 generally require some massaging. will just see how it goes.

Ive descided on the t56 and have ordered the adapter plate.

Nice choice. Where did you order the dapter plate from? i have the kits in stock for $325.

[Shakotan_Aaron]

You have revised pricing? I remember them being quite a bit more then that. I would have considered yours if i knew that earlier. Ordered from CRS who have been making this type of thing for decades.

[DrLorenzo]

Yes I had been misleading. My kit included a clutch kit for $650. CRS have been doing conversion parts for decades, i have bought many things from them.
