mike33 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi guys this is probably a really naff question. Is the 6 speed gearbox from a lexus is200 the same as the 6 speed gearbox that fits in a supra?? Im really sorry if this has been asked before as i did a search but nothing came up.

Scott Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm almost positive it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 No. The IS200 shares it's gearbox with the Nissan S15, and it is quite a weak gearbox. Even the 5 speed W58 found in the NA Supra is stronger. The only car that shares the Supras Getrag 6 speed is the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. If you're looking for strong gearboxes, BMW use a 6 speed Getrag on some models that has an even higher toque rating than the V160/V161, and the Tremec 6 speed found in various American cars (and the Monaro IIRC) is quite tough.

Scott Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only car that shares the Supras Getrag 6 speed is the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. Is that definite? I thought there was a BMW that had the gearbox too.... and a few other cars. All different codes of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only other relatively tough gearbox that fits straight into a Supra is the R154 5 speed as found in the mk3 Supra turbo and 1JZ Soarer. Make sure you get one with the correct shifter position though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Is that definite? I thought there was a BMW that had the gearbox too.... and a few other cars. All different codes of course. No, as far as I'm aware the BMW Getrags are different, and there's a few of them. The one found in the e36 M3 Evo, and then the toughest one is found in the 850 and a few other models IIRC. Obviously a lot of the newer BMWs come with 6 speeds, though I've no idea how tough they are. One of the diesel ones might be worth looking at, though I have no idea about the ratios on them.

Scott Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Seems like a bit of a waste, the V160/161 is an engineering marvel. Doubt the Diesel ones would be any good due to the ratios, as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
