my diff has jus decintegrated only an hour ago... jus got it back from a full respray yesterday 2 :/ not amused lol

does anybody know if i have to drop the engine or can it be done without doing that..

also i have a spare gearbox but it is out of a gt turbo... will it fit onto a glanza engine?

any advice would be much appreciated!

Pretty sure you can drop the gearbox off without taking the whole engin out.

Gt box will fit fine.
If you are changing from an OEM LSD box to a normal box or visa versa then you will need driveshafts aswell.

If you leave the drivers side mount on and remove the bolts from the other 2 mounts, you can lower the engine down with a jack under the sump (use a bit of wood between the 2) enough to get the box out easily. If it was an aftermarket diff you had in the box it will be a straight swap to the GT box, if it was a Toyota LSD box then there will be differences, this thread should tell you how to spot the differences.

ABS rings can be took off with a screwdriver easily, they are only pushed onto the joints, dont forget to use nothing else but 75W/90 gearbox oil when refilling it.

If its a Toyota LSD you will need to change the drivers side shaft, the rear engine mount and the dust cover from behind the flywheel as well if you are not putting another Toyota LSD box in.
