T50 Gearbox from 4ac in 4age?

[li21]

Hi all,

Just wondering how well does a stock ADM's t50 gear box work with a 4age conversion?
I heard stuff about the ratios not being well suited to a 4age?

What are eveyrones thoughts?

Also what would be the cost to recondition a t50 gear box?

well I had a t50 gear box behind my 4agze and it went fine.the ratios were ok aswell.ran out of legs in 1st a bit, but besides that it was all good.for the cost i cant help you on that one.surely it wouldnt be 2 much.

^^^^^^^^^ THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

you do know that the main part of the ADM and JDM 4age box is identical right?

whats considered a main part???
everyhting is needed to make it work..... JDM boxes have slightly closer ratios and yes it will be fine....
to rebuild??? a fair bit just second gear synchro is about $50 depends on how much you want to rebuild though

i'd hazard a guess and say 97% of 4AGE equipped 86's in oz are using an ADM T50

for the last time, no

main part: the only part that comes off is the bellhousing, apart from that its the same box, ratios and all

thats why they r becoming a rarity....everyone smashes them...it took me 3 months with tired 16v to kill 2nd in a t50
