[Mk2] [Generic] What have I do to fit E56 gearbox into SW20 ?

Post by Eksterminator »

I just bought an engine with probably E56 gearbox from Celica.
As far as I know it supposed to have LSD in it 8)
The gear selector cables on MR2 goes from the other side. How can I sort it ?
I don't know anything about E56, but if it fits rev3 MR2 engine it must fit in engine bay as well.
I got only S54 axles. Does it mean that I will need thicker axles ?
Will E53 axles fit E56 box ?

What clutch will I need ?
I assume E56 clutch and probably Turbo pressure plate ?

Is there any way to connect thiner NA shaft ends to thicker Celica shafts coming out of the gearbox ?

Has anyone done it so far ?
I never heard of anyone by far at least. I assume there may be some good reason why it may be not worth of doing.

If I want to meke the E56 selector shaft come out from the other way like in MR2 will I have to open the gearbox or can I just replace the selector shaft assembly ? Will that assembly fit from MR2 E53 ?
I remember that I snapped the shaft somehow in past and could select just 1st and 2nd gear... All I had to do was to replace the assembly from another E53 (unless it was NA car - I don't remember).
