Grasmt Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 To start off ive minced the W58 in my TT, obviously not the best box for what its being used for but its all i had. Emailed every breaker asked people i know, posted on forums but not coming up with much luck. The best plan is to 6sp it but i cant justify the cash and im also on a deadline, Now my question is; My dad has an old hilux(same ones top gear failed to kill) now its fitted with a G58 4x4 gearbox. From looking at it, it looks to be 4 pieces; bell-housing, gearbox, hi/low diff, transfer box ... Good chance im wrong on that as im not 100% on boxes... Cutting to the point if i was to split the G58 and use my W58 casing with the G58 gearing, Would it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Would probably pull like a bitch but run out of steam very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasmt Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I can live with that for the time being, just need it on the road and off my ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Don't take it as Gospel that it'll work though!! Was just saying that the derv ratios wouldn't be much cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasmt Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yea i understand that buddy, just need to get the car off my old mans ramp, somethings better than nothing, plus if it works then it gives me more time to source a proper box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullAttack Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Whats broken in your box? I think you'd strip both boxes down and find that it won't work for some reason, or many reasons. I know of someone thats used R151 gearset & counter shaft to fix an R154, but it was serious hag and the labour time cost out weighed the cost of a replacement box.
