W58 question indentify/shifter position

[maxhag]

hey guys,
I am currently doing a W58 G/box convo on my 86. I bought everything from AJPS.

My query/question is:
Every picture of a W58 and variations i have looked at on the net, the Shifter Mount Plate has 6 mount bolt locations, 3 each side.

The box I have received, the shifter mount plate only has 4 bolt locations, ie; unable to swap for other shifter positions seen on the net?????
Where it would sit now, the stick would come out about under the stereo. Looking at the box on the ground next to the T50, the shifter sits way forward.

Meanwhile, the 4A-W58 bellhousing bolted right up and the clutch disc fits the spline. :2thumbs:

Dave, I think it is, has told me the box is a W58 from a turbo Supra, dont know what model

So, I just really would like to find out why mine only has 4 Shifter Mount Bolt locations, and all the others i've seen have 6????????
What model would this box be from?
Am I missing something obvious? :crazy: Is the box wrong?

Any feedback/info/ help is much appriciated.....

Oh, and sorry, I dont have a camera :sick:

Aahhhh the joys of buying long distance, it is a bit hard to tell without a photo or some sort of description, has it got a steel or alloy case ?, but definately a photo would help, has it not got any ID tags ?, just goes to show it pays to do research.

to change the shifter position you will need the rear housing off another w series (with shifter)

i dunno what your on about with the 4 bolts. Mine has 4 6mm ones holding the shift and then 6 8mm ones houlding the shifter housing.

Some Toymods guys reckon it cound be a G52 box Hilux?

i think its a toyota truck gearbox i would hate to c what the ratios are like. Did the say it was a w58 if so sounds sus. Put some pics up i have 5 real w58s and all of them have 6 bolts.

[Rollabender]

I have trouble contacting Dave most of the time but he is usually good when i do.....

The Toymods guys have identified it as a G52, from a Hilux that has shit ratios.
