G'day...
Been thinking about this for a while...some time ago I read about a Sprinter with a 1ggte, with a T50 behind it(Think it was Zoom - silver car with polished manifold featured in IDB Automotive ad)..apparently the bearings in the gearbox had been replaced with larger ones - the insides machined to fit...
Anyone know about this...is it the gears ot the bearings in the T50 that are the weak point ??
Would the cost of doing this be worth the effort or is the w58 a better option...
I am going quads with big cams on a 4ag and need reliability for the occasional drift day......
Thanks in advance

personally i dont beleive bearings are goin to make much difference. In my experiance, its the syncros and input shaft that are the weak spots on a t50. But lets face it, they are getting old now and are bound to break sooner or later.
This is coming from someone who has just stripped 2nd behind a stock 20v. So the motor will not make much difference (unless it has one of them dirt turbos on it) depending how you drive.

i've only broken one under boosted conditions.. but NA.. i caine the piss out of it everysingle time.. and always flat change.. and alwas pop the clutch... tis what i built it for.. and it is fine.. AFAIK it hasn't even had a rebuild.. just use auto fluid instead of normal G/box oil...
it is the mid range torque that smashes them, not the powahz
if your seriousely want a super strong box i can get u a rebuilt trd item for $2500 hehehe but yeah
does auto fuild help the old t-50?

i wish i had enough money for a freaking corolla
slightly off topic, but just wanted to know exactly what the advantages of using the T3 delrin shifter bush are..........is it merely a replacement for and old worn item or does it give the box a nicer shift ect?

get a second box as a spare
lie Dave said T50 behind an N/A motor
W58 for the boosted boys, you will break T50's in boosted applications, get a W58 and leave som 50's for the rest of us!
