4AG w/ W58 in AE86? Mon, 22 November 2004 22:15 Go to next message
Hey Ppl,

Just wondering how everyone has gone about using a W58 in their sprinter?

What shifter housing are you using on your W58?

What bell housing? If using a spacer plate do you need a custom length tail shaft?

Are custom mounts needed to bolt the gearbox in place or do the T50 mounts work?

the people to contact are:

* Niteparts in NZ
* Castlemaine Rod Shop

These guys do the custom bellhousings.

Witzl, you failed to mention the other creator of fabulous bellhousings..................for good reason I reckon Rolling Eyes

The NZ made ones appear to be quite good, be interested in seeing one on a car here.

When did castlemaine rod shop start making them? Anyone tried one yet? Gotta be better than De**ow!! Very Happy

-No, you cannot use the T50 gearbox crossmember/mount

-Yes, you will need a custom tailshaft, cause the output shaft is different

-I tried to get the correct shifter position for the sprinter (19" from memory), without any luck. They do exist, I just couldn't find one. Ended up using an RA60/65 shifter location, which just fits through the original hole in the floorpan, right at the front.

Yes, as I have said many times before, avoid the dellhou..... er, the other brand Evil or Very Mad The RA60 shifter can be made to work just fine with a little bit of modification.
