Only the C-series gearboxes mate with the FWD 4A-GE and you could try the 5 speed C56 (witch some times has an LSD fitted, but that was an option) or the 6 speed C160 (that gearbox was mounted with the 4A-GE 20V 'Blacktop' engine)

TRD had a whole set of shorter gears for the C52 specially made for the (competition) C52. But I hope you're sitting down when you get to read the prices

I have revised my own C52 and fitted it with a Quaife ATB helical LSD. TRD has some LSD's for the C52 aswell, but they are pretty hard to get these days (As will the shorter gears, they were discontiued several years back)

Good luck with the search!

 

last set of TRD gearsets I saw for a C52, used were about $2000 CDN. :yikes:

 

Like I said: It's gonna be expensive!

 

in worst case its possible to use the block of a 4A-FE or a 4A-GZE to mate it with an E transmission (waht i'm thinking to do once i get and install a manual transmission

but unfortunately, only the AWD tranny use shorter gears, the FWD and RWD E tranny use LONGER gears

 

What about a starlet turbo gearbox, can the gears from it be used? Also, I think the lsd from a starlet turbo box fits the c52?

 

I think the "E" trannys(C50-C52) have the same gear ratios and final drive ratio as the C52s attached to the 4A-FE engines.
The 7A has a taller 1st, and 4A-GE have a lower final drive.

Don't hold me to this, I am going by memory.

Some information here.

The 4A-GE does have a different final drive. But it's longer than the 4A-FE C52's

Final gear 4A-GE C52 gearbox: 4.312
Final gear 4A-FE C52 gearbox: 4.058

 

Thanks for the help guys.

 

anybody have info on installing helical lsd in c52's i don't want to pay 1000 labor cost unless i have to ...

 

Again...see my website

On http://www.ae92gts.com there is some info aswell...I believe he fitted the same LSD as I did
