<font size="-1">I am a lurker on the list these days since I don't
race much anymore but thought I would chime in on this discussion.
While researching the Toyota gearboxes a few years back I noticed
the W55 out of a Pickup truck will give you essentially a close
ratio gearset and still have 5th as overdrive. The cases are the
same. I had one of each, W56 and W55, for the TR3 racer. I too,
had the Eaglegate bellhousing although it was one of their
original welded units they were selling prior to the cast units
they eventually developed. Really nice guy.... As a side note I
put a Toyota T50 gearbox in a GT6 I raced a few years back. That
conversion used the input shaft from the TR gearbox grafted onto
the T50 input shaft and an adapter plate to mount to the GT6
bellhousing. Very reliable and slick<br>

Cheers, Bob<br>

<p>I dunno larry, I got my conversion from Eaglegate, who was also
from New Mexico, and it bolted in. Plug and play. Works great,
shifts smoothly, and (so far!) reliable.</p>
<p>Me being me, at the time, '13 I think, I picked up two spare
transmissions. Celica W58. For about $175 each. A friend with a
wrecking yard looked them up yesterday: around $550. No, they
are not for sale!</p>
<p>I believe a guy in Kansas City took over Eaglegate. If anyone
is interested, I could look it up.</p>

I'd rather have an A-type (or even a J) overdrive - 7 gears,
easier to shift, easier to install, probably less expensive -
What's not to like? Keep the wife definitely.<br>

Is the HVDA conversion kit for the Toyota 5 speed still
available since Herman’s passing?
