how much would it cost to put a gearbox in it??
ANyone??
Would it ever be drivable??
Depending what engine it has in it, the gearbox would cost anywhere from $100 to $250 for a manual 5spd.
The problem is swaping it over.. its the absolute most utter son of a bitch of a job.. I've done it twice in my old Celica (i didnt break the gearboxs i promise). Once all by myself and that took a weekend. and one with someone helping me which took a good long day.
I'm not sure if the model is a RA60 (rounderish one) or the RA65(square edged one). so the engine could either be a 18R (2L 4cyl), a 22R (2.4l 4cyl) or the 4m/5m-ge (which is 2.4/2.6 6cyl from memory).
If Jase could supply these details I can u more info on what gearbox your after.
If you do get this car running it will be a great run about.. they aint fast, the dont handle like a sports car, but the are easy to drive and will just keep going and going and going..
EDIT: I also wanted to let u know these Celica models are the most ugly models ever.. they came out when Japan was trying to do the whole "large square USA look".. which was a bad idea.
Heres a pic of the model i beleive it is.. Jase correct me if I'm wrong.
