MattP Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Not sure who would be interested in these but a company I get bits and pieces from for my MR2s Supras etc has recently began stocking Brand New Genuine Toyota V161 6 speed Gearboxs over the years I have seen the 6 speed boxs inflate in price and the demand for them increase so for the sake of you people who are after a 6 speed box here is a new option for you... The Boxs are New not refurb... http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts_info.asp?id=10550&cat=89&sub=1354&sec=1562&var=32&dc=0&gen=&searchKey= A few members on here get odds and sods from here I have had all sorts for various cars from them so can say with comfort they are genuine sellers. I only mention this as last time 6 speeds were mentioned people were reluctant to have them refurbed and Toyota were after around 8K for a new box although im aware a company in America does a good job of refurbing them the name eludes me (Jacks?).

j_jza80 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice find I'd rather spend £5k on a brand new box, than £3500 on a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 have you checked with nic how much a new one from Japan costs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 have you checked with nic how much a new one from Japan costs ? No mate I'm not after a 6 speed just reading threads it seems the most recent price was 8K for a new 161 just purely out of consideration for any of you single/big twin owners this would be a viable option as opposed to buying second hand for 3-3500k..

Fitz Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 What's included in that £5,000 just the box itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 What's included in that £5,000 just the box itself? Looks like it mate I havnt looked more into it to be honest all I know is they are New not Refurbed Genuine Toyota Part V161 Its probably aimed more towards ageing 6 speed owners with crunching gears and dead syncros than auto to manual conversions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Worth it over buying second hand though for the extra £1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parry_10 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's 3500 for a full 6 speed conversion not just the box. I wouldn't pay more than 2000 for the box alone, big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Tiger nobody is arguing that a second hand conversion is not cheaper this is a price for a *NEW Gearbox for anyone looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Add in dual mass flywheel, new clutch assembly, slave cylinder, gear lever, gear lever extension, propshaft front section, balancing, slave cylinder, rear mount, hose, blah blah, and as an upgrade for a 5 speed or auto it starts to mount up! As a replacement for a worn out or knackered existing six speed in a car you will not part with for years and thousands and thousands of miles, a new one is the way to go for peace of mind, of course. For a track car a modern sequential like a Hewland or Tractive will be more, but quick change ratio choice (drop gears in the Tractive give 30 minute overall ratio changes...) and lightning fast gear changes make the extra worth considering, plus they have amazingly good re-sale value. http://www.tractive.se/home__10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame Carl @ Tractive reckons my car is too powerful for their box and I quote "it’s a bit on the limit for the power" Sucks as I know you rate them highly.

Chris Wilson Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Tractive were talking of an uprated similar style box for big torque engines. maybe theyt never proceeded. For sure, a sequential dog box would be terrible in a road car, but I did say for "track cars" Are you putting dog box interrnals in a W58 case? Who does those, the Aussie people PPG? I'd have thought the gear C/L spacing was a bit marginal in that case. I think PPG do semi helical internals for the Getrag 6 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
