    I don't think a standard 4AGE pressure plate will cope with a W57.

    From what I have seen, the throwout bearing and input shaft on a W5* box is bigger than a T50. So you may run into troubles trying to use these with a pressure plate designed for a T50.

    What sized flywheel are you using? From memory some form of Hiace uses a 200mm flywheel and W5* box (well a G5*, but they arer the same as far as this matters).

    Best bet is to talk to a clutch shop.

    The parts you will need to attach 4A to W5*:
    - Any 4A flywheel will work
    - Clutch to suit flywheel used and W5* input spline
    - Custom bellhousing
    - Throwout bearing and clutch fork to suit W5* (from whatever car it came out of)

    That makes the box fit the engine, the other things you need to think about are:
    - Clutch slave and maybe new lines if it's moved
    - Shifter location (extending hole in floor if needed)
    - Clearance to fuel and brake lines in tunnel
    - Tailshaft
    - Gearbox Xmember

    PS a little more grammar, punctuation and an occasional "please" go a long way.

    Standard clutch will work, but if you have had to fit a W* box, then it won't work for long.
    My standard heavy duty clutch lasted 3months
    Then i fitted the W* and a 5 puck button....lasted 3 months
    Onto full (i think that whats its called) faced ceramic button clutch, seems to be running alright now.

    Also what flywheel are you running?
    If you run a GZE flywheel, the clutch will match the g/box splines.

    What bellhousing are you using? is the slave on the drivers or passengers side? If its on the drivers side, you can use a Hiace slave, smae dimensions, much cheaper.
