Hey I was checking on other forums and they mentioned that the 6th gear does not have to be broken. They only replaced the speedo, seals and bearings.

Posted

if you've got the right tools and experience then 6th can be removed without being broken.

Spoken to some, seen some and personally, I would rather budget for the 6th "just in case" as they do not seem sure ............

Don't want the car to be in the shop longer than needed to.

just brought a used mr-s helical unit today as a birthday present to myself :)

will start accumulating the other stuff i need and hopefully find some1 to install it in the next few weeks.

Going to get a new oem replacement clutch, i found the stock clutch offers plenty of grip and is pretty easy on the gearbox during heavy driving.

originally wanted a fidanza lightened flywheel but decided to retain stock flywheel as im concerned about driveability with a lightened unit - unless some1 can convince me that my gf wont have trouble driving the car with a lightened unit . . :)

hopefully it improves the cars cornering performance, will keep you all posted with myprogress.

Just need to give it more gas when you start. Else, everything should be fine.

Kudos for the LSD project!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

ordered the lsd install kit from mwr.

anyone know if i need a speedo drive ?

also, anyone got the part numbers for the 6th gear ?

Posted

help needed!

Called around today and got a price on a 6th gear for the corolla - $430 inc gst. Anyone know a workshop in perth that might have the required gear puller :)?

Ive been doing reading on the US forums, they are suggesting that the speedo drive needs to be replaced. I asked Toyota for a price on the speedo drive and I was told there was no listing for it. Do our cars run an electronic speedo drive from the abs unit or something similar ?

wheres the experts at :)?

the part number is speedometer gear: 33481-20160

I checked with toyota before and its quite expensive. Around $200 NZD for one. From what I read from other forums, you can install the LSD without breaking the 6th gear and you don't need the special equipment that everyone is referring in this forum. There is a particular way of dissembling the transmission. And if your mileage is not high then you can reuse your speedometer gear as well.

I have my LSD lying around and waiting for JUN lightweight flywheel to come with my Xtreme heavy duty clutch. I ordered the LSD install kit from MWR as well and bought 3 Redline MT90 gearbox oil too. This is going to be an expensive modification if you have to buy the 6th gear and the speedometer gear.

Any pics or links to your JUN lightweight flywheel or Xtreme heavy duty clutch ??

Why would you need to change the speedo gear?

Cheers. You mean this extreme clutch ???

That's by ACS which is made by Daikin who also makes Exedy that breaks ...........

I would re-consider that ..... But that's me. If you really to, try eBay for 275 + delivery.

Thanks for the flywheel info though.

How about the speedo question ??

Posted

from what i have heard, the speedo ring can become damaged while trying ot remove it - just like that 6th gear.

as stated above, i purchased a second hand lsd that appeared to include a speedo drive. Hopefully between that one, and the one in my car i have one thats usable.

on the other hand, i have been quoted $700 to remove and replace the box, would really hate to pay that twice if a $200 speedo ring fks up !

fun times!

I remember reading that it is only easy to break if mileage is quite high. Its adding up isn't it?

adding up - lol man, sorta regreting atm to be honest ;)

Haha that was how I felt too. I got the LSD first and then realized that it wasn't the end of the shopping list. I think you got your LSD from ebay right?
