how to identify gear box?any numbers on them?

[Rob H]

I have 3 gear boxes sat in the shed I have a ep82 GT box, EP91 SR box and a corolla box I know which one belongs each car thats the easy bit but is there any numbers on the boxes to say which model the box is so I can compare the ratios befor I stick my cusco diff in one???

Cheers Rep will be given!!

im not 100% sure but there is no numbers on g'boxes too identify them though ( for Starlets). Only indication of what gbox you have, on a Starlet is written on the fire wall mounted plate, there is a transmission code there

How does one know when a box has lsd or not?
i can get a imported 4EFTE engine with box, but dont know if it has lsd or not?

 

[JasonGlanza]

if its the standard gbox with stock lsd the gbox mount will be different from a stock non lsd gbox and drive shafts will be of different lenghts too

hi rob all i know after doing my research on corolla and mr2 forums is
where the fork is that connect to clutch release bearing, there should be a number there on a c52 or c56 box.
if the number ends in 180 its a c56 gearbox.
i know not much help, but thats all i know after my research when had mine apart recently.

ask and you shall recieve - this is an oem lsd gearbox as you can see it has an extra bit of housing around the back of it

 

[Skalabala]

so you look at the two marked sections?

OEM limited slip diff

@Skalabala: wait. i concur with the lower left extension being part of the OEM LSD in the picture you just shared but the top side is a standard part of the ep transmissions, unless you're saying maybe it's larger than the one on a standard box..?

I searched all five gearboxs in my possession, from 4efte, 5efe, 5efhe, etc. its easy to tell the which box is which from outside, due to the many differences in the housings between them. but a stamped part number or reference i cannot find.

just bottom left one you circled in the pik matey - other part is the same

vin plate box identity

i concur mate. there's no stamped identity on the box itself. just the detail on the vin plate..
