anyone know?
Hey there crowd,
I am looking at buying an ae85 sprinter, it has the 3au motor but i need to know if the gearbox is a t50? Because the block is not a 4a series it would have different mounting points correct? So the conversion would be more difficult? Thats about it folks.
Thanks
Cj....
anyone know?
Well there isn't many AE85's in Australia. Im sure there the same. 3A, 1S, 2T-GE, 3T-E, 4A all could use the T50, but it might be a T40. Just look under the bonnet, it should say on the compliance plate.
Cheers
Beau Yates was an ae85, correct me if him wrong but him 98% sure.
The original colour of his sprinter was panda, also it has drums.
But all of the ADM AE86 come out with Drums
Cheers
yeah i found info off some random site, the ae85 came with a k50 gearbox, only difference was it has a clutch cable, instead of hydrolic.
so did the ae85
Remember, is car was on HPI (silver) so it had to be an import.
I read somewhere that the car was imported.
I just read the article.
Before we get into that, though, let us just confirm that this car really is a Jap AE86. The fact it has drum brakes fools some thinking it is a local car or a converted AE85 but the base-model AE86 Levin GT did have drum brakes in the first series.
Cheers
Your right
Anyways, the ae85 came with a t40
or was it a k50
From what I have read in a Corolla history book, the AE85 was available in ... It also had a cable clutch K50 gearbox. It is the same box internally as KE ...
Hmm i still dont know if a k50 bolts onto a 4age. Shed some light someone? Or if the engine mounts for a 3au are the same as 4age.
