T50 to AZ6... a "new" option for gearbox issues

[oldeskewltoy]

I DO understand the borderline... I will do my best to not muddy this.

Once it has been tested and it becomes available, I'll be more than happy to abide by any changes the MODS deem necessary.

The AZ6 sells for about $900.00 used here in the north west USA. It sells for similar prices around the USA, from what I've been told.

the shifter section of the case will get cut, and then about 8" of it will get removed, along with 8" of the shifter rod. The rod will be reinstalled, and the shifter housing welded closed. ONCE the adapter is made... this is the most costly part of the project, since each one will need to be hand done. It was discussed, and it may still go that way if there is enough demand.... and that is to recast the rear section so all that would be required to be done by hand is shortening the shifter rod.

Why don't I go for a whole drivetrain swap??? I don't know about you... but I LOVE my 4AGE, in my AE86.... I'm running about 112hp@ the wheels, my engine pulls smoothly and wonderfully from mid 2000s to redline. The sounds coming from under the hood and from the exhaust(Fujitsubo twin tip) are pure music..... why would I want something else???

There are tons of people who are swapping in 3SG, or KA24, or SR20, hell even a 1UZ!... but you lose something when you do that to the AE86... you lose the cars charachter.... I believe the AZ6 will ADD to the AE86's charachter....
