R155 is from late model hilux I am pretty sure, I am using one behind my 1UZ cheap as chips, can but 3 or 4 for the price of 1 R154.
Apart from the gear ratios what’s the difference between these gear boxes can they handle the same amount of power?

Exactly there heaps cheaper I’ve driven a few Hilux’s and they change gear very nicely just looking for a gearbox to put behind a beams that I can punish every day R154 seem like strong gearbox but they cost too much and they’re getting old
Might be worth the punt, given a r154 sets you back around $2500. Are the bell housings the same?
Ae86 Drivingclub - Toyota AE86 Car Club where AE86 | KE70 | Toyota 86 / GT86 | Subaru BRZ | Scion FRS owners
are they common?
and as matt said same bolt pattern for both sides of the bell housing?
Well they still make them new at the moment... I thought a average R154 was around 1500, well I could buy about 5 R155's for 2.5k, haha. It didn't matter to me with the bellhouseing because I had to use custom one anyway with 1uz.

Gear ratios.
Plus you can get these if you really need them -
I would rather just bend the shifter back a bit though...

That low ratio 1st gear on the R155 looks like it'd be really annoying on any performance engine.
Is there anything wrong with using a W5x box? If they can handle the torque of an NA 1UZ I'm sure they'd be fine for a beams.
I'm using a W57 behind a 1uz in my current 2WD Hilux build, and apparently they are more then up to the job.
If you take a look at Lextreme forums, W Series are the most common box used behind 1UZ, and good for up to 300+hp set ups with mountains of torque.

1st 3.285

I'll let you know how good they are in a couple of weeks, just got the engine/box and shaft mounted yesterday and have started to wire it up now.
Ali.
