W 55 Boxes- Out of what?

[skin]

As far as i know there were quite a few cars that came out with a w55 behind them
Can anyone identify all of these for me?

Also on a side note, for a 4agte pushing 160rwks what would the ratios be like?

[IN 05 NT]

i think the 55 n 56's are HILUX, low ratio boxes,

the 57-58's are from corona's/supras/soarers, longer ratio's

the numbers define the ratio......which i dont know

[skin]

Well i know 55's are out of rt141 coronas and a few others i think, didnt know about hiluxs

Nah W55's isn't a 4wd box (56, and 59 are tho?)

W55's came in Some RA6x, SA63, TE-72? Carinas (3T-GTE), RT141, GX71? at least to my knowledge.

[o_man_ra23]

Ratios:

First Gear: 3.566:1
Second Gear: 2.056:1
Third Gear: 1.384:1
Fourth Gear: 1.00:1
Fifth Gear: 0.85:1
Reverse: -4.091:1

They came in:
1982-1983 Toyota Carina
1982-1985 Toyota Celica
1983 Toyota Corona
1986 Toyota Soarer
1986 Toyota Crown
1983 Toyota Chaser
1984-1988 Toyota Hilux 2WD with 22RE(EFI) engine

Edit:

W55 is different in every ratio to a W58. W57 and W58 share all gears except 5th so you were close.

And someone comes through

cheers buddy

Nope te72 had t50

ra6 and sa6 i think your right but

You'll note that I put Carina and 3T-GTE after that. I'm well aware that the Aus TE-72 T-18 with the 3T-C had a T50

And lets break down LeeRoy's list
1982-1983 Toyota Carina: I said TE-72 Carina
1982-1985 Toyota Celica: I said RA6x, SA63
1983 Toyota Corona: I said RT141
1986 Toyota Soarer: I didn't list this
1986 Toyota Crown: I didn't list this
1983 Toyota Chaser: I said GX71

The two I didn't list are also very rare

Anyway just a bit annoyed that you didn't listen to me I guess

Oh and o_man_ra23, not that I know of, tho some GX6x might of had em. (crazy japs!) All AUS MA61 were W58

Wilbo, the Carinas were based on the A subframe werent they?? Or did that get changed when the RA6xs come out??

Also, I may just need to find an MA61 to pull a W58 from

[WDE_BDY]

For Carina (which you have bugger all chance of finding Oz anyway) the 3T-GTE powered TA63 used a W55. However there is also a 3T and a 3T-E powered TA63's that ran T50's. There is also the 18RG powered RA63 with a W55, 3T-GTE powered TT142 and a few others.

W55's came out in gz10's from factory... see a factory 1gge manual with my own eyes

Hmm, yeah you might be right about them being based on the A frame...for some reason I always thought they were pretty well a T18 with a 3T-GTE
(this is what I was thinking about http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/P.../MyCarina.html)

ps, re gearbox perhaps talk to brett

Also TT141? corona's came with 3T-GTEs and W55...

And I also think a late model lexus might have come with a steel plate W55 (Don't quote me on that one!).

btw, out of interest why does it matter what they come out of? Something to think about is that these days it has been so long that there is no guarantee that the stock gearbox is still there (as opposed to a w57/w58)

I'm pretty sure my RT133 Corna Sedan with 21RC has a W55 box as it is alloy compared to my steel W50 in my RT132 Liftback.

[o_man_ra23]

Wilbo, I have a feeling Brett is using that box for his Twincharged RA40 project How much strength difference is there between a W55, W57 and W58??
