Norbie Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	Re: W50 versus W58 Thu, 04 September 2003 05:22 5th gear is a known weak point of the old W50's. They used to put them behind old-school V8's, but the advice was always given that you should take it easy in 5th gear (ie don't load it up at low speeds). The first 4 gears are strong as though - in fact W40's are popular with the rotary drag boys because they're strong, cheap and plentiful. My late-model W58 is a much nicer box than any of the W50's I've owned or driven, and it's lighter to boot. Clearly these boxes are quite strong as mine has survived the massive torque of the 2JZ and a pretty strong ceramic clutch. [Report message to a moderator]
