Just wanted to know if either the ST-185 or the ST-205 gearboxes could be used to replace the RAV4's stocker.
On RAV4World.com I talk to a guy from NZ who has done this conversion, but he's a right racer with no conception of 'normal' driving. His philosophy on the box is "throw it in and race it". Not much of a help...
How are these two gearboxes different to the RAV4 (I'm guessing it's out of an All-Trac Celica)? In your opinion, is the stock RAV4 gearbox good enough to handle the power of a turbo, or does it need strengthening/replacing?
What is involved in getting a gearbox strengthened?
Answers to any or all of these questions appreciated, just so I know where I stand with this project, and how much to shell-out (if any) when the time comes.
