hello there

i've been thinking to changing my current auto gearbox on my 4AFE to a manual gearbox.. and been interested to find a AE111 20v 6Speed manual gearbox for mounting on my 4AFE, but some mechanics and my other frenz suggested that better to swap the engine also, i would love to change it to a 4AGE 20v, but the 4AFE are still in good condition, so it better that i wanted to keep the 4AFE than changing to 4AGE.. the 4AFE has its own sentimental value to me until now.. any ideas or suggestion on mounting the 6speed gearbox to my 4AFE?
:smile:

I don't quite understand what your question is. If you want to stick the 6 speed 'box onto your 4AFE and it can be done, go ahead. It's your car.
I have to agree that it's probably more fun to go all the way and swap the engine as well. Hey, it's your car. Do what you feel is best for you.

Actually what's the purpose of doing it? Converting it from AT to MT?
If so, the common method is to get a 5spd box from Blacktop. Reason being 6spd box is not cheap (more expensive if 6spd LSD) and you'll need full set including gbox mounting, shifter cable and shifter itself. The clutch and brake pedals u can use local corolla MT or even 5spd ones. If i'm right, one of the driveshaft also needs to be replaced.
Next is the ECU, where it is possible to use your current AT ECU with some minor rewiring.
Last but not least, the 6spd ratio might not be suitable with lower revving 4AFE unless the engine is modded to some extent.
FYI, for a price of 6spd box you can get a BT engine lantai with some spare change.
Also, you'll need to go to JPJ to update your geran from AT to MT...maybe puspakom inspection required as well.
My suggestion is to get a decent 5spd box (C56) and if you want improved handling, get one with LSD.
Cheers

PCMOD..., great input, guy. It is always good to hear from someone who knows the subject matter really well.
This project sounds like it is more trouble than it is worth. I guess a complete halfcut swap is the way to go.

Bro intel2800,
If u want an economical ride, juz maintain the 4AFE...if u want fun, can 'lantun-lantun' ur RPM, go for 4AGE...l think hybrid kinda thing like 4AGE g/box+4AFE, 'kacuk' here and there will make u pening later if any prob occurs...to enjoy the power of 6speed, need to find 6speed ecu+wiring, g'box mounting and bla bla bla...then need to go for puspakon and JPJ to verified ur conversion....y not juz go for a complete halfcut?anyhow, ur hav to go for the same route.. go to puspakom,to jpj and insurance company to verified ur car cert...this is my opinion...agree with PCMOD :burnout:

are your AE111 96" or 99"?
do take note that the gearbox mounting point (the chassis point behind battery for secure the gb mounting) of 96" AE111 and 99" AE111 a.k.a Cystal light version is totally different...

96" has the 2 pieces of chassis steel a.k.a ikan tulang which u secure the gb mounting with 1 bolts/screws,
99" doesnt hav tat 2 steel and the gb mounting directly bolted on to the chassis with 4 bolts/screws.

if 96" will b jus get ready the complete parts and PnP,
for 99" u hav to mod a bracket for connect both the gb to the 99" ori auto gb mounting...

4afe and 4age silvertop is using same gearbox which is C52
4age blacktop using C56.

both of these gearboxes PnP to 4afe engine.
the only difference is gear ratio.

C56 has longer gear ratio on 3rd and 4th.

1,2,5 same for C52/56.

I asked my mechanic find me the GB, he said C52, i dunno la he tipu or what, but so far quite nice ride :)

Gear speed at 6300RPM

1 - 40
2 - 85
3 - 120
4 - 155
5 - 180 <- RPM 5500 something like that .

not bad i guess :)
with proper ignition timing, well maintained system, exhaust 2" possibly reach 200 with this engine.

and to be honest, the pick up is not bad as well. easily reach 150 for normal high speed cruising :)

C56 cruising RPM quite high for blacktop. BTW change gearbox is just like change paint colour, don't need to go puspakom, just go jpj fill some simple form only, if you don't update the grant also no problem.

Monsh, your driveshaft still same with stock 4afe?
