6G Celicas Forums

Hello,

I've converted my 7AFE to a 4AGE 20V Blacktop, but i've kept my C52 gearbox. I want to change to either the Corolla AE111 (C160 gearbox i believe) or the Celica 7G gearbox.

Is it easy to use the 7G gearbox? Can i use my old transaxles with this gearbox? What else do i need to make it happen?

Did search the forum but couldn't find the answer.

Thanks!

i think its because you are pioneering this effort. its a c series tranny, it may work. but i guess you may be on your own.

C60 mates up to the 7A, and has been used with success. I can't find a link to where or who, but it is doable. The C160 is unheard of like Nico said.

I remember that thread
Its an older build
Tweak dropped a 4agze an a c60 into a st they said it worked great

Hopefully tweak will react to this topic

nope tweak is long gone...

hope somebody else can tell me about this

C60 n c160 have same gear ratios, c160 had helical lsd. They are same size but have diff transfer, whatevr thats called that connects to engine block

^ Bell housing?

Yea bell housing. I have a friend with a 88 corolla gts who did 4age 6 speed swap. Now since i know that then it should fit into at200 chassis just fine no

So swapping the bellhouse will be it? Can I use my own axles /drive shafts?

Thanks!

the 6 speed that came with his 4age blacktop 20v is the one that comes stock with the engine. its the c160. so i'm not sure what axles you can use

ii was at my buddys shop all last week. they were building a mean ass 4A-GE and bolted it up to a C60 from a 7Gen. they used the bell housing from the MR2 trans and gears and body housing from the C60.

this is what it looks like if ya'll ever interested in it...

it sits slightly forward as you can see by pics so it'll give you more clearance to run a 4age blacktop itb setup without worrying about it hitting firewall.

and inside an AE92 Corolla. oh and the bell-housing adapter plate and custom flywheel.

Did you swap, details?

no, but i can put details of cost from the guys in south africa who have done it and the beams dual vvt-i is the guy in panama. price are different for sure... expensive and for a few hundred $ more you can get a dog box i believe.

C60 Transmission = $800 (give or take on condition)

Custom Flywheel and Bell housing Adapter Plate = $1500

Clutch Kit = $350.

as far as axles go. the guy in Panama says the S54 axles are plug and plate, but im skeptic of it until i see pics....

he also said the c160 diff is different from the c60 transmission.. how so? doesn't make any sense to me.

not sure how the C160 is different, maybe the linkage on the other side? maybe the gearing, LSD?

yea WAS thinking the same thing anyway. too expensive to justify the extra gear and gearing benefits. but if i had 10,000 monies i'd do it!

No oil drain issues from the head with the different angle?
