  1. O.K so I found a E154F out of a ST205 for $600 I could possibly swap it out with BUT.... Discovered the 2 following potential "issues" 1: The ST205 Box has a vehicle speed sensor on the box where as the ST215 box apparantly uses wheel speed sensors to determine vehicle speed. 2: The ST205 box uses a differential gear ring I guess because as above the ST215 doesn't use a VSS there for does not require one. Taking these 2 points into consideration would this gearbox I have sourced from the ST205 still be O.K to use in the ST215?
  2. So I guess I just ring around then?
  3. Any suggestions on a shop that may be familiar with this gearbox or car and would do the work?
  4. Thanks.. Will give it some thought as to how to proceed. What would you think it be better/cost effective to do, replace or rebuild? And how easy is it to find another box to replace if need be... Thanks again for your help Trent. :)
  5. 130k. If thats the case is it a throw away?
  6. Hello, Not being a mechanic I was after some thoughts on my gearbox issue. So the gearbox in my 5sp man 97 Caldina GT-T has started not going into gear properly under spirited driving or highish rpm up/down shifts, particularly 2nd-3rd shifts. Under normal driving it is perfectly fine and not noticeable but when driven with some gusto and shifting gears it does not engage gears and the shifter feels like its disconnected from the box itself and all that can be felt is the spring tension on the shifter. Also in 1st at around 6K rpm a small bumping sensation can be felt coming from the trans. I have been told it could be a nylon bushing or something at the end of the selectors slipping? But not being a mechanic cannot take this for gospel.... Anyone out there have any better guesses/ideas. Could it just be shagged? Easy fix? Chance of finding a new gearbox or cost of rebuild if required? I know its going to be a bitch to remove... Thanks in advance for any input received. Mike
  7. Hi... Does anyone know where to get mounts for a caldina gtt or if it shares mounts from another toyota model. Thanks..
  8. My guess is that its cast? No bulge in the fork as you described on opposite side of fork to the slave, its flat. And it does have a cast look to it. Spent the last hour trying to upload the photo i took but it keeps screwing up..
  9. Ok so until its apart there's really no way to tell... Maybe i should just get a cast fork from you, and then order a clutch kit that's the cast fork specific one and go from there. Daniboy how can I get a cast fork from you, how much ect. Are you in Brisbane and do you want to help change a clutch I have no experience but want to give it a go, knowing its a crap job. Have been quoted $1500 for a clutch place to do it and installing a organic kit. Cheers Mike
  10. Does anyone know if the 1997 Caldina GT-T 5spd man has the cast iron or pressed metal type clutch fork? Ta. mike
  11. Thanks for that..yes Im on the north side of Brisbane so Albion would be handy. I will give them a call.. Thanks again
  12. Hello, Was after a clutch kit for my Caldina ST215 (3SGTE) and was wondering would a clutch kit for any "S" motor fit my car eg. celica turbo or other models that run an "S" motor. Or can anyone recommend a clutch kit to me that will fit, and how much will it cost to install roughly? Would love to do the work myself but I can imagine its a **** of a job and Im not a mechanic, would give it a go if I could though with help. Im guessing the flywheel would need machining also? Thanks Mike
  13. Sorry.. not been on this site for a while but i did a fuel filter change and it was still happening. So i pulled out the spark plugs and one was loose, checked the gaps on them all and reinstalled...problem never happened again!!!
  14. Caldina ST215 Started rough today and the check engine light came on.. It was shut down and restarted with the light coming back on moments later going out and everything back to normal... After a short drive down the road it started doing it again and the car was fighting to gain speed, hesitating rough engine sound and check engine light ect. About 5k's down the road i entered the freeway where it came good again, drove the 15k's down freeway and exited about 10k's after leaving f/way it started it again. and continued doing this for a further 15k's until i got home... Anyone want to have a guess what might be going on? I am concidering getting a obd2 code reader to see what codes have been logged.. but any ideas would be fantastic.. Cheers
