I prefer to keep Toyota clutch fork and release cylinder , than using the Ford cable system. The Ford type 9 gearbox is a Quaife kit (straight pinions), which should be stronger than Lexus and Nissan gearboxes

The Lexus/Toyota gear case is stronger then the Nissan version.

As to strength as compared to a Ford type 9 box... I'm not qualified to answer since I don't know the Ford gearbox. What I do know is this transmission was used by Toyota in a 3000# car(Altezza, and IS200), these cars all have over 200hp, and more importantly all are over 160# feet of torque. In each case these are far more loads then a 4AGE, and a Corolla's mass will place on them
