Hello all. I will be after a w58 5 speed gear box in the near future. Any idea where the best place to start looking is? Any help would be sweet. Cheers

G'day, I got mine from Dellow, they are a main land company that specializes in gearboxes. They are a bit pricey but you get a fully reconditioned gearbox and you can specify the length of your shifting housing (don't know what you call it) if you measure the from the back of the engine to the middle of the hole where the gear stick comes out they can put the right housing on the gearbox so it comes out in the middle of the hole without cutting the tunnel. I payed $2277. for mine Including postage and handling. I have had no troubles with my box. here are the details..... Website: www.dellowauto.com.auTelephone: (02) 97743873

I was just reading the Dellow Catalogue, they say that the W58 box is very rare hard to find. There is good stocks for W55 and W59 and limited stocks for the W57. The ratio are the only difference. The lenghts I was talking about are... The Gear box itself is 22" long The different stick positions are 14", 18", 20.5", and 21" these are measured from the back of the box to the stick pivot point. The bell housing and clutch fork and throw out bearing can be order to fit you Engine too. This was all part of the Total price.

yeah what Mike said, a 55 or 57 will take all the grunt a 1Gs gunna throw at it. I run a w55 behind my 7mgte which has copped a flogging with a solid center brass button clutch for the last 30,000k and shows no sign of wearing out keep an eye out for someone wrecking a rt142/ra60/sa63/ra65/ma61 . I'll be stripping a ra60 in the near future, not sure when yet.
