Where to find gears

<< < (2/5) > >>

elimn8u_43:
If anyone is looking for specific gears at the boneyard - look for a
'76 to '81 Toyota Celica. Look on the engine side of the firewall for
a 2"x3" metal plate with codes as per the following table - only pull
the driveshaft off to look at the pinion nut paint color to confirm
that's what you really want. The only way the codes are wrong is if
someone swapped the rear end out for a differnet ratio. Most
everything you'll find seems to be the 358's, though I've found a 342
and a 373.

T412 is a 330 - orange pinion nut
T382 is a 342 - purple
T372 is a 358 - pink
T302 is a 373 - red
T312 is a 390 - yellow
T292 is a 410 - green
T282 is a 430 - blue




 
330 celica liftback
342 earlier corollas

358
410 earlier corollas
430 later models of both with overhead cams

How To Read The ID Plate:

 On the tag, there is a code number which is the very bottom line. It may be something like:
147FT11T052W55 (example)
In those numbers, the group that is "T052" in the example identify the ring gear diameter and gear ratio. The digit "T" identifies it is a 6.7" diameter ring gear (10 bolt). An "S" code denotes a 6.38" ring gear (8 bolt). You will want the "T" code.
 The second and third  digits of this group - 05 in this example - identify the gear ratio. the list below are the most commonly used:

 Code          Gear Ratio
   02               3.36
   05               3.70
   07               3.90
   08               4.11
   27               3.36
   28               4.30
   29               4.10
   30               3.727
   37               3.583
   38               3.417

 The fourth digit - in the example a "2"- designates the number of pinion gears and whether the rear end is limited slip or open traction type. The possible codes are:

Code          # of Pin. Gears          Ltd. Slip (yes/no)
  2                    2                                    no
  3                    2                                    yes
  4                    4                                    no
  5                    4                                    yes

  So, in the above example, "T052" designates that this car has a 6.7" ring gear with a 3.70 gear ratio and has 2 pinion gears and is an open traction type of rear end.

 Info from "Dwarf Car Technology" by Steve Smith
( Great book by the way!!!  Unfortunately, some of the adjustments, etc... are limited by the Legends Car rulebook.)

 Between what elimn8u_43 and I have listed, that should be the info you need.
 
 Good Hunting

JGRacing:
Thanks again for all of the help.  I'll also have to pick up a copy of that Steve Smith book.
