Installing a manual transmission T50 - Toyota Sprinter Trueno, 1.6L, 1985

To start their alterations, a T50 manual gearbox with a dome for A series engines, a flywheel and a clutch for the FE version of the same series of motors were purchased (differences in the number of bolts of the GE-8, FE-6 mountings, it was temporarily decided to dock 3a and manual transmission), the master cylinder from the crown in the 160 body and the clutch pedal assembly, the slave cylinder from the gearbox of the 5K engine, hydraulic pipes, a paired pedal assembly from the mechanical Levin in the 85 body was also purchased

So, let's start with the installation of the master cylinder, remove the torpedo, how it is removed here I lower it due to the fact that half of the bolts and self-tapping screws were missing))), the transverse reinforcement beam was also dismantled, the template was removed from the master cylinder, and holes were cut on this template technological stapling

We disassemble the torpedo

Trying on the pedal assembly, trial installation of the clutch pedal assembly from the crown showed that the brake pedal interferes with it and the attachment points do not coincide a little, so the option disappeared immediately, it is worth mentioning separately about the paired (clutch + brake) assembly from the 85 body, naturally it gets on the landing space with a bang, but there is one problem in 85 bodies, the clutch had a cable drive and in my case the pedal needs to be slightly modified.

The master cylinder together with the pedal bracket were successfully installed, the pedal too, the tube for driving the working cylinder was installed, the interior was assembled back
then the automatic machine was dismantled, the flywheel, the basket, the clutch and the gearbox itself were installed, the starter had to be exchanged for a similar, but open type, otherwise it simply would not climb into the ear of the gearbox, the starter interlock contacts were bridged along the way, and then I had to tinker with the propeller shaft, the propeller shaft ae85 and ae86 differ from each other in the number of knees, in the 85 it is solid, and in the 86 it consists of two parts articulated with each other by a suspended bearing, I decided to stick to the body scheme 86, I already had the front half of the propeller shaft, it got together with the gearbox, but from the second one there were problems, at first I wanted to shorten my own 85 cardan, but there was no suitable fork for the outboard bearing, so I abandoned this idea, remembering that the AL25 carib has an identical suspension and a two-knee cardan,I purchased the rear half during disassembly, the Karibov one turned out to be longer and the rear shank did not coincide in drilling with the counterpart in the bridge,

I gave it to a friend for shortening, a day later it was ready, then there
was a repressing of the shanks from the native 85 to the shortened Caribbean one, we put everything in place,
try to ride, it does not work, the clutch release is not enough, we pump the clutch circuit, that's it, the gearbox swap is over)))
