    So what spigot bearing do you use? this thread is good!

    Just a w5* one? and that fits in the crank?

    Do you use the standed clutch fork and thrust bearing?

    yeah when i did mine i did no work myself and got a guy to do the whole lot appart from get the box my conversion cost me on the unhappy side of $2500... but it now gets treated with no respect and the w 5x loves it like a fat kid loves cake. but prepare to have you speedo out by the 25-30kms out like has already been said, which is fun when people jump in and start roll caging when your speedo says 90km in the local streets lol you can get this fixed and i have been quoted like $500 to get it recalibrated but i had a feeling the guy just didnt want to do it

    as for your $1200 reco i have bought a w56 and a w58 and didnt pay more then $400 for either and they are fine i just looked for guys parting their ra40 celica/supra and then got boxes off them works out cheaper then talking to a wreaker who knows what they can charge for things. you can depending on where you are from get most to all of the parts needed for the conversion from dellow automotive (nsw) thats where i got mine from because it was easy and because i wasnt installing it myself, if you do it yourself i would recomend getting what you realy need from dellows like your thrust bearing and carier and folk but get ajps bellhousing heard alot better reports from his casting,

    then other then the ovious your peace of mind is so much better having it done rather then worryring if your t50 is going to fall apart at any stage.

    I would like to confirm that I have had my SA63 sourced W55 next to a T50 and the shifter apeared to be in an identical position. Also don't go near the dellows adapter kit.

    Anyone shed some more light on the T50 bellhousing to W5x box using the adaptor plate..
    Wouldn't that move the whole box further back creating spigot bearing and clutch issues.. Or is the Standard 4a bell housing slightly shorter or close enough in length to not cause ant drama's..

    The input shaft will not reach the spigot bearing so you need to make up a sleeve to extend it, anyone have pics of it?
