C64 Lotus Transmission in a Yaris?
Does anyone know if the Lotus C64 transmission will fit in the Yaris? Would it be worth the effort? Am I going to get flamed for asking a question that's already been asked and answered before?

thats a good question
especially with the 2zz swap, your car would really fly with that gearing. weight is pretty close anyways |

I think it has been done, but don't quote me. There may be differences between the FWD (Celica) and RWD (Lotus) versions?

Would it be worth it to make an adaptor plate?

its more a matter of notching the frame rail to fit the longer transmission in the yaris

I know for a fact that the C60 fits in a Lotus Elise, people have swapped them for the taller 6th gear to improve fuel economy when cruising on the highway. I'm almost 100% positive those two transmissions are identical besides 6th gear.

why not just buy the gears you want and keep your trans?
TRD offers a variety of gears and you can also have gears made.

they can probably do the tranny swap for under a grand. i doubt you can do that with TRD gears and a rebuild, that would be more like 3 grand.

tranny would be cheap-ish...maybe 500 depending on the wrecker
2zz trannies arent cheap and i don't know how much a trd gear set would run...
