Since its hard to find concrete info on this.
If i have the front part of the w58 driveshaft and the backpart of the ae86 driveshaft will i also need to make the w58 part shorter like you had to do?

That IS what I'm doing.

In the photo showing the 2 driveshafts, you'll note the front halves are the same length. The full driveshaft is from my Corolla, the half long shaft, a mark II Supra. The overall length of the AZ6 requires the driveshaft to be shortened.

Well.... all in, she now has about 35 miles on her with her new transmission, and I have only one complaint....

Confused

- I have to remember that reverse gear is now far left, pushing beyond the stop, and up, where as the old T50 was to the far right, and down

It is so nice to have a modern gearbox - smooth, and perfectly placed... @ least in my AE71 it is :wink:

WAAAAY too long with out an update

from another forum Wrote:So I've been wondering. How's the 6speed working out?

(btw interiors looking good)

Well... with the S series 3.58 final drive... in reality... I don't need any gears beyond the first 4 Sad

Sooooooo... its time to swap in a final drive more appropriate. Here is Richmond Racing's 3.9 T series diff...... (originally for Legends/Dwarf cars) fitted into a GT-S housing.

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Surreptitious.....]

The Richmond is assembled with zenki spider gears... so zenki axles are the call. The emergency brake cables need a fabricated bracket on the driverside(thank you Jesse), and a zip tie around the axle hop line mount to secure the passenger side cable.

Now... along with the diff, I have to swap in a different brake proportioning valve, because instead of drum brakes... I'm now running rear discs.

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Surreptitious.....]

Doing some research All AE86 drum brake cars use valve 22040, while the GT-S uses valve 12040. I then look up my car, and low and behold, the valve is the same as a drum brake AE86 - 22040. So even though I have a different master cylinder, AND the proportioning valve is mounted slightly lower, the lines will not have to be customized to fit the GT-S valve! So I remove the drum brake valve, and swap in the GT-S valve. Then I go about bleeding the brakes. At this point brake bleeding can be a REAL pain... because there is no longer any fluid in the master OR the proportioning valve... so I go about palm bleeding. What is palm bleeding??? You fill the master most of the way, and you put your palm over the reservoir and work your hand like you would a toilet plunger.... This slowly pumps the fluid through the master, and the proportioning valve allowing me to circulate the fluid without having to pump the brake pedal, or use a power bleeder.

More to come....... Big Grin
