<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike and Phil. What is the Toyota W-58 transmission? Does it bolt right up to the TR block, or is an adapter plate required? I have a Morgan and have a number of friends who have the Plus 4 model, which used the TR-3/4 engine. Most of them came with the Moss box, so folks are looking for a good 5-speed replacement.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I would not be surprised to learn that the W-58 is a bolt-up. When I was racing, I used an electronic distributor out of a Nissan/Datsun B-210 (and a number of other applications). It fit right into the TR-4 block, all I had to do was change the drive gear. And then there's the Miata. The Japanese copied a lot from the British.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thanks.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jack<br></div><div><br></div>
