Title: current 1zz 5 speed box with 2zz conversion
Post by: foci on January 26, 2017, 15:38
Hi,

Just a quick question.   I have nearly all the bits for my conversion now.    The only thing that is worrying me is the 6 speed box that came with the celica I purchased.

It sounded a bit whiny,   I would like to get this rebuilt before I put it into the Mr2 and get the LSD put in at the same time.


My question is, Could I fit my 2zz to the current 5 speed box then fit the 6 speed at a later date?


Thanks for the help as always


Stephen

Yes you can but ..... the 2zz gearbox has different ratios to allow the engine to rev, with the 1zz gearbox you will have a crap delivery of power
