^^ unless the weldings were looking like bird doodoo. lol or the diff was hooked up to a 154390whp 22r and tried burning rubber on flat 52 inch boggers.
ok then yes...... ive seen them fail at those points. i doubt however that was the case with his tho....
i did the same to my old 92 when i was doing a burnout. had 4.10s and 16" steelies. grabbed 2nd and it went byebye
u dont need to burn rubber anyways! all it does is ruin stuff, tires, gas, relationships with neighbors lol
i was shocked when it happened. my diff was locked for a while so i knew the spiders had welded together, but i didn't think this could happen
thats why i made sure mine was VERY well done when i had the spiders welded and braced it all down. given i whent overboard on how well it was welded but it will NEVER break....... other parts will bust before this diff ever does.
who's sway bar you have? should fit just fine...... i have a hellwig in the back of mine that came from a 7.5 but fits mine just fine....... comes squeaky close clearing the back of the diff but clears just enough.
so if Im running the 4spd rear with 3.07 gears and want to swap to a 5 spd what year of supra's am I looking for
i have a hellwig that i got off craigslist. it came off a second gen truck. fits like a glove. it rubs on my exhaust a little but thats because my pipe dumps out the back instead of the side the pickups came with a 5 speed. 84-95 with a 22r. i think the 20r has the same bellhousing but i'm not sure
yea I know the 84-88 came with 5spd's but I'm wanting the taller supra gears so I can make this truck a freeway flyer that gets some what decent milage
well my 78 has a record of 31 on the highway. that tank i was doing about 75 on fairly flat freeway in cali. its got an intake, carb, ignition, exhaust, W50, 4.10s and 24.5" tires. the mileage has gone way up each time i mod the motor though. the carb helped a ton. the exhaust gave me a couple. ect ect.
i would regear the diff instead. way easier than swapping the tranny. you won't have to modify anything either
well if there is a supra tranny thats got taller gears then that of the 5spd truck trans and its a bolt in app and I'm swaping to a 5spd wouldn,t the supra tranny be the way to go instead of doing a ring gear change
if the spline count is the same jus use the 22r bellhousing and put it on the 20r trans case, im pretty sure thats the same.
20/22R have the same bellhousing to block pattern. but, not all the trannys had the same bellhousing to trans pattern. the older W50 wont fit the 55/56/58. the W58 from supras and 81-85ish celicas did have a taller 5th gear than the truck 5 speeds did though. here...check this out. W40 4-speed transmission offered in base model vehicles. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.287:1 * Second Gear: 2.043:1 * Third Gear: 1.394:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Reverse: -4.091:1 Applications: * 1971-1975ish Toyota Celica W50 Often called the "steel-case" transmission for its steel shell, in contrast to the later W-series transmissions' aluminum case. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.287:1 * Second Gear: 2.043:1 * Third Gear: 1.394:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.853:1 * Reverse: -4.039:1 W55 This was the first of the aluminum-shelled W-series transmissions. The W55 appears to be a base reference point for gear ratios that Toyota used to fine tune later models of the W-series. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.566:1 * Second Gear: 2.056:1 * Third Gear: 1.384:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.85:1 * Reverse: -4.091:1 Applications: * 1982-1983 Toyota Carina * 1981-1985 Toyota Celica * 1983 Toyota Corona * 1986 Toyota Soarer * 1986 Toyota Crown * 1983 Toyota Chaser * 1984-1988 Toyota Pickup 2WD with 22RE(EFI) engine * 2002-2005 Lexus IS300 (US Market only) W56 A common truck transmission that came in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive varieties. Its ratios differ in comparison to the base W55 in the 1st and 2nd gears only; this is to allow a slightly heavier vehicle (truck) to get up to speed slightly quicker than if geared like a car. This was most likely accomplished by taking the W55 base gears and changing the 1st and 2nd gear sets, as the rest of the transmission remains unchanged. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.954:1 * Second Gear: 2.141:1 * Third Gear: 1.384:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.85:1 * Reverse: -4.091:1 Applications: * Toyota Hilux * Toyota 4Runner W58 It differs from the W57 in its fifth-gear ratio. This transmission is popular as a replacement for weak stock transmissions in other vehicles. It came in two varieties: the original found in the 1982-1989 non-turbo Supras, Celicas and Cressidas of the early 1980s; and the later version found in Mk3, Mk 4 Supras and Lexus SC 300s. The W58 & W57 share the highest gearing and closest ratios (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (direct)) of the stock W-Series transmissions. Toyota engineers have shown favor to the W58 over the rest of the 'W' series by including it in so many models and even building a stronger version for higher powered applications. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.285:1 * Second Gear: 1.894:1 * Third Gear: 1.275:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.783:1 * Reverse: -3.768:1 Applications: * 1982-1986 Toyota MK 2 Celica Supra * 1986-1992 Toyota MK 3 non-turbo Supra * 1993-1998 Toyota MK 4 non-turbo Supra * 1986 Toyota Cressida * 1986 Toyota Soarer * 1982-1992 Lotus Excel * 1992-1997 Lexus SC300 * 1998-2005 Lexus IS300 5 speed W59 A common truck transmission, this was the successor to the W56. Like the W56, it came in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive versions. Ratios: * First Gear: 3.954:1 * Second Gear: 2.141:1 * Third Gear: 1.275:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.85:1 Applications: * Toyota Tacoma thats some trimmed down info from wikipedia. heres the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_W_transmission
