Hi fellas,
In the future I plan to fit a red 202 with blue crank into an LC GTR. After that I want to put in a T5 gearbox, and I am looking on ebay to find as many second hand parts as I can get, then I'll go to Dellow's to get the rest.
There is a Celica 5-speed plus extras on ebay now, to bolt up to a red motor in LC/LJ Torana. It comes with bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, tailshaft and speedo cable.
My question: Which of these bits would be compatible with the red motor with blue crank?
All advice is greatly appreciated.
David

Hi David, The pressure plate and clutch won't bolt to your flywheel (assuming you have used a blue motor flywheel). On the other hand, you just need to buy a Blue motor pressureplate and find a Toyota Clutchplate that is the same size as a blue motor c Edited by user Monday, 26 June 2006 10:40:44 AM(UTC)

Dave,
Thank you for your help. I really do appreciate that you blokes give your time to help others.
Will a red motor fly wheel bolt straight on in place of the blue motor flywheel? If so, it would make the conversion easy, I could use all the bits

Hi David,
You're welcome.
Not 100% sure if the Blue and Red motor flywheels are interchangable but someone on here will know.
The other thing I thought about later is you need a special spiggot bush for a Celica into a Holden as the end of the i

Hi Guys.
Qute said - "You have to use a V8 clutch fork as the Celica box has a MUCH bigger input shaft bearing than an Aussie box. This costs you LOTS of leverage in the clutch system. I ended up going for a hydraulic clutch system from CRS."

Hi Terry, From memory, the V8 clutch fork has its pivot point further out than the 6 cyl version. I assume this was to give weight to the clutch action in the V8's because of the larger diameter pressure plates on the V8. At least, that's the reason Edited by user Thursday, 29 June 2006 9:21:55 PM(UTC)

Hi Qute.
That might be the situation with that particular bellhousing, but the 2 common units we see are the Dellow & the Hadfield (CRS). Both of these use the same pivot points & forks as per original & you can't just use a V8 fork in a 6 cyl bellhous |

Ah-hah! Never really looked closely at the CRS or Dellow bellhousings...will see if I can track one down and have a good look. I now see where the confusion came in in that you had the impression I was talking about using a V8 fork in a 6 cyl bellhousing.

Hi Dave.
Yes, that was a typo. I meant that the Celica front shaft is not that much thicker than the Holden shaft.
I had the impression you were using the V8 fork because of your statement "You have to use a V8 clutch fork as the Celica box has a M |

Thanks Dr Terry and Dave.
I'm still reading, although I'll need to print and re-read when the time comes.
Dr Terry, you said the blue and black flywheels will fit the red crank. But does that mean the red flywheel will fit onto a blue crank? Would

Hi Terry,
Glad we got that bit of confusion cleared up :-)
I'll update that linked document with the CRS and Dellow information you have provided. I wish those CRS or Dellow bellhousings were readily available in Perth when I did that conversion...i

Hi Guys.
AFAIK all Red/Blue/Black 6 flywheels are interchangeable, the only exception being the VK that has the locating pin in the crank flange, which is easily removed. I'm not sure what you mean by 'special gear'. Do you mean the ring gear. Everythi |
