My box is gunna cost over $800 to get repaired, so i figured i might as well get a supra one. Anyone that has one thats in great condition and is less than $500 including freight I want to buy!
I'm in a real pickle as my car is at the workshop waiting for a heavy duty RPM clutch, and it turns out that the supplier has gone broke and i cant get one anymore! Now i have to get a custom one and pay big $$$'s and get the box fixed and pay too much money or get a new box and pay more money to get it custome fitted!
Any help would be muchly appreciated!!!! I'm am desperate 
Even a good W50 would be better than paying $800 on this one that might not handle the 300HP i intend giving it! Just need a good box thats cheap!ASAP!!
PLZ help!
Thanks
Ben

I cant SMS u, i dont have a mobile anymore  I will buy the box and bellhousing and anything else for $500+postage, so dont sell it!!!
E-mail or ring me 2morrow at home- having a sicky! But i will buy it all. I cant afford it yet, but in two weeks i'll get the money to u, and u can freight it up for me. 
Finally found a W58!- thanks very much
Ben
PS- do u have to move the mounts underneath to make it fit or anything??? and what about the centre consol? Do i need to get another custom one made?/Will the stick sit back further???
Thanks again.

Dude, to fit a W58 to a RA28 you have to fiddle with the mounts. I got an auto crossmember and turned it around also, you can seperate the rubber bit from the steel bit and turn that around too (it was a while ago so memore is a little sketchy). The idea is to get the crossmember sitting as far back(or forward, I can't remember  ) as possible, then you can get one hole on each side to line up, you then have to weld a bit on and drill out for the other 2 holes.
Look at the transmission pic on the sixworks article on putting 1ggte's into early celicas. it has a shot of the crossmember, the 2 holes look off-center because they have been added.
If you don't have the auto crossmember then just modify the manual crossmember more (like the sixworks one)
