RoverP6B Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 What pedal box did you use? ( 3500 S? Rover 2000 T/C? Other? ) Thinking: OZ "Dellow" bellhousing kit + Toyota 5M/T to replace BorgWarner 35... Any advice appreciated! GW North Island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i know nothing about rovers but i do know that 5M toyota engines are crap. is there a better engine you can use? or is there some quirk that demands you use a 5M toyota engine?? there aren't many rover people on this forum so it might take a bit of time for someone to give you some advice but please enlighten me as to why 5M? sheepers.

Raizer Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Lol he wants to use a Toyota box not engine 5M/T = 5 speed manuel transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ive never herd any toyota box refered to as a "5m/t" what box do you mean?? W50? or W55/58 style?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its not Toyota specific, M/T is an abbreviation for Manuel Transmission, 5M/T means its a 5 speed manuel. Just like A/T = Automatic Transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Manuals for 5M are very hard to find. They take a W58 (i think) and an R series off a hilux, with modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 depends what you want it for. maybe worth sourcing a 5spd out of an sd1 vandlenplas, although it will be hard, it's probably only going to cost you about the same amount as a toyota box, which you will want to use a w55 or similar..... you'll also not need an adaptor and may even be able to use your standard driveshaft maybe? could be a direct bolt in. if you're going for a box that you can beat a bit then definitely the toyota item. jsut to get it manual and for economies sake, see what you can find by way of sd1 stuff. on the topic of pedal boxes, if the tc one fits then go for that,otherwise you're looking at fabricating it from scratch. if you find a donor car get as much of the pedal assembly as you can... master cylinder and clutch lines etc as you may be able to use these.

RoverP6B Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks,　good advice! Trying to avoid the Rover 5 speed as these are just too uncommon + prices on Trademe show that people do pay up large for these Expect the driveshaft will need to be modified then balanced; getting the speedo to work accurately wll probably be the biggest challenge after the pedal box Cars a dailly driver Best GW depends what you want it for. maybe worth sourcing a 5spd out of an sd1 vandlenplas, although it will be hard, it's probably only going to cost you about the same amount as a toyota box, which you will want to use a w55 or similar.....you'll also not need an adaptor and may even be able to use your standard driveshaft maybe? could be a direct bolt in. if you're going for a box that you can beat a bit then definitely the toyota item. jsut to get it manual and for economies sake, see what you can find by way of sd1 stuff. on the topic of pedal boxes, if the tc one fits then go for that,otherwise you're looking at fabricating it from scratch. if you find a donor car get as much of the pedal assembly as you can... master cylinder and clutch lines etc as you may be able to use these.
