which tailshaft for a ke70 wagon

[Sam-Q]

oh yeah your right I tottaly forgot about that, and no I have my original AE86 T50

[Matt-AE86]

Maybe if you have an S series shaft lying around and an S series diff, lop all the mounts off and bolt it up to the wagon. Just an idea.

EDIT: or get creative and put 4 link in

like someone else said, t18 t50 will work with the ke70 wagon tailshaft, the ke70 sedan and wagon are exact same tailshafts, can only assume the ae71/ae86 swap into wagons too. (obviously ae86 with s diff)

[Sam-Q]

so basicly I take the box out of a t18 or a ta22, fit that with the right bellhousing then use my existing tailshaft?

[Golberg]

TA22 one is crap, shifter location is different. But a series 1 T18 should do the trick (series two I am told are 22 spline), although you'll more than likely have to slightly modify the A series bellhousing to get it to fit perfectly.

There are a few threads on toymods about fitting an A series bellhousing to an early T50, best to have a look there.

[Sam-Q]

I thought the TA22 and the T18 boxes are one and the same thing? I dont mind moving the shifter hole

[Golberg]

Its a long way forward, but if you don't mind hacking into your floor go for it... Although the stick may very well hit the dash.

[Sam-Q]

so the ta22 one is on the left? now I know this is a realy difficult question but any idea on how many mm there might be between them? because in the photo they look the same and they obviously arnt

[Golberg]

No no, they are both TA22 versions, hence why they look so similar. Should have specified sorry.

An AE86/AE71/T18 shifter sits slightly over the edge of the cup at the back of the box.

Roughly around 100mm, probably a little more toward the back of the box.

EDIT - Even better, JDM AE86 box:


It may be possible to swap extension housings from your AE86 one onto a TA22 variety.

wow ok, I will have to do some measurments and see if it will work for me, your pics here will be usefull and thanks for the info
