Axles help! Options

[fran]

Hi friends! i have a little problem with my axles!... Well the thing its when i bougth the swap the came with the gearbox! but when i remove the axles from de new engine i see that they are totally diferent from my old ones!... Anyones knows from what gearbox, car, etc are this axles??? if i buy a new pair they will fit into my celi?



(The left one its from the old 3sfe engine, the cut one its the new axle )

[Bitter]

will your old inner joint go into the other axles cup? if it fits correctly then there ya go, custom axles! otherwise you need to tell us what trans you bought or what 'swap' you bought.

[fran]

im shure that the cup dont fit because the other one is much bigger. i bought a 4gen 3sgte with fwd transmission but they dont specify the type :S

[fran]

Ok, ill search around the web and i think that the gearbox that comes with the swap its an C52 gearbox. The axles cup are totally direfents, there are bigger!.. I will like to put a nice axles setup, like oem toyota axles that fits there nicely, any ideas?
The othe solution its to chage to my old gearbox! but im shure she cant old the power

There is a pic from a gearbox like mine


Help please!

Thx

nice info Mstoochn ... Ya its a A series, i moified the rear gearbox mount to do the fit in the celi the engine & gearbox bolt up nice into the mounts. Now my big question is, the long of this axles will fit in the celica? they will fit in the outside peace ?

[Mstoochn]

they are St215 caldina axles, which have the same wheel base depth. they are the only axle i no of that you can use with a c52 trans in a celica

[fran]

so i must order St215 axles ... Any ideas where i can buy those axles?

yes, the FWD axles are available in northamerica, although not THAT easy to find. I belive there is also an alternative using a mix of inner and outers from the mr2 and st202 inners. I will look into it for you.

i´ll find around the web too. I think that the st202 dont work because the other axle its bigger and i need the rear mount for the passenger side axle . I saw some pictures in the web of an engine with the fwd trans, here its the pic so can have an idea:





Other thing its that im not pretty shure that my trans its a c52, but i read in some other forums that the c52 trans have a black cover (5th gear cover). Any other toyota trans with this black cover? :S.

Thanks a lot for your help Mstoochn!

locate the starter, look adjcent to the start and there will be a Serial Num for the tranny. 8E4 or 8E5 will be the first three digits of a C52 trans.
if this came from a st215 calinda is would have to be a c52

[fran]

i dont see any serial number around there .

hmmm.. perhaps i have the wrong information, i asure you the color is a light green

[fran]

You are correct! its ligth green! ... here its the numers on the stickers

2410074140
228000-0833
A9(green) 06B2 (not painted, very hard to see)

And picture

[fran]

any idea where i can get that stuff? .... the two axles and the middle mount

[Mstoochn]

yea thats from a fwd calinda... wow
u may need to go custom axles. or use the calinda half shafts with st185 or st204 axles with an axle spacer
