Gearbox Identification

Hey guys,

Just wondering how you tell the difference between a celica 5 speed from a Sierra. I've got a 5 speed in my car at the moment and want to get a quick shift for it but i am stuffed to know what box ive got. How can i tell the difference between them?

Cheers,
Rhys

    g'day
    A quick check From the shift point of veiw the sierra 5 spd reverse will be push across to the left and up. The celica/supra boxes are generally across to the right and down,bellow the 5th gear gate

    Sierra looks just like a normal 4spd escort box with an extra alloy spacer between the cast iron gear case and the alloy extention housing (circled in red below) and a different shifter fitting (three bolts instead of 40-odd mm screw fitting);



    Two most common Toyota boxed fitted to Escorts - firsdt is a T50, second is a W50;



    Hoe this helps you identify your mystery box....

    Cheers

    I took some photo's, Maybe you can pick the box?










    I Hope that's enough angle to see what one it is.

    Cheers,

    yep type 9,to confirm have a look at the gear shift bellow the console going into the box there will be 3 bolts holding the shifter in place.
