Any other brand: do some research. =)

Thanks so much!!!

Side question. Do the final drives from a c50, c5x work in a c160?

No worries. Glad to share what I know with the community.

No, the C15X/C16X are a smaller, 6-bolt diff. The C50 in the Yaris and xA/xB are an 8-bolt, but are also different from the 8-bolt xD C50 and Celica/MR2/Matrix C56/C59.

The C160 is a 6 speed and has an 8 bolt diff. All the gears inside are actually much larger than the C150.

You're new here and I already answered your PM you sent me regarding this, so I'll explain in more detail.

The C160 is a 6 speed as you already know. In order to have 6 gears you need a longer input and output shaft. The output shaft also carries one of the gears that turns the differential. The gear is part of the shaft. That shaft will not fit into a 5 speed transmission and is why non of the 5 speed final drives ratios will work in a 6 speed.

Thank you!! Yes I am new and it's nice to have it explained. I read a thread from a different form and he said all c5x FD will work in a C160. I understand that one is a 5speed vs 6 speed. But I thought maybe only 1-4th gear were on the shaft. As I understand some Trans you can pull off 5th gear while the Trans is in the car.

I will try to find that thread and post a link.

Again that's everyone. I am very appreciative.
