C60 Owners?

IDon'tKnow · 09-29-2009, 12:26 PM

I've read that the C60 bolts up to the C50/52 bell housing with no issues. And also that the standard selector shaft procedures for FWD-RWD apply.

I've been unable to find an actual example; it seems that most of the info is hearsay. Can someone point me in the right direction of someone who has actually done this 6-Speed conversion?

I just did a c60 along with a 20v into my mr2. I just drilled a hole and have someone weld a small piece of 1" aluminum pipe to the end of the transmission. The pipe only needed to be cut to length, inside diameter was perfect for the seal.

I then had someone else drill a hole into the hardened selector shaft. The end seal was capped with a freeze plug and some jb weld to hold it on.

Total cost was less then $50 and didn't require any special tools on my end other then a drill and some sockets.

So the bell housing mounts right up to the 4A or did you use your original bell housing?

The c60 bolts right up to any A series motor. If you want one cheap, there's a guy in MS who is selling one for $400.

That is the C160 you guys are talking about, the C60 is the Celica/Vibe/Matrix tranny.

IDon'tKnow, the selector shaft procedure only applies if the tranny is from a Vibe or Matrix, those are different than the Celica in that respect. You will also need to replace the input shaft bearings on the bell housing to the Celica bearings so that it lines up correctly and you will also need MK2 NA axles.
