Ive noticed that T50 tranmissions found in AE71s, and ADM AE86s
cost around $350
call me crazy but that is very steep for a gearbox that exactly handle much torque.
and is 20yo old...
eg S13 SRTurbo box $450...
I might be over reacting but the whole market should
take a step back and think what they are doing..
Supply and demand not takumi tax
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (hatzo @ Dec 20 2007, 08:16 PM) </div>Im pretty sure you can pick up a T50 from the wreckers for around $150? Thats what i have heard. The only thing i really look for on this site is stuff that doesn't come stock for my car. Everything else such as spares i pretty much look @ the wreckers.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (hatzo @ Dec 20 2007, 08:46 PM) </div>The problem is getting the right version.
The T-50 was in a few different cars behind a few different motors, however only the AE71 and the AE86 have the right input / output splines.
Fact is they are getting harder and harder to come by.
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
meh , i deal with grey importers all the time...
I felt that i was spat in the face

it's cause of all the GZE ownersanyway... anyone have links between the differences etc between all the t50's because i would say one from say a t-18 wouldn't have been thrashed,and would be "fresh" so if it's just a case of changing the input shafts over it's easy
Im 90% sure its actually just a case of changing bellhousings over.
T18 gearboxes arent plentiful, but they are much cheaper.
ive always noticed that someone who puts up a WTB thread for example, will pay more for the box, then someone who snakes one in the FS parts section.
I rang up a few wreckers and toyota spares places, they all wanted in excess of $450 for an ADM T50. <_<
its what you pay to get it, so its what other pay to get it too.
not guna nock price down just coz you say so lol.
still cost the person who bought it that much.
lol.
90% of those toyota spare place got em dirt cheap just wanna make a profit
