W55 transmission conversion

Postby Jeonsah » Thu Jan 09, 2020 7:21 am

Hey guys,

I have a W55 transmission that I want to put on my BT 20v 4age. The car is an AE86. Looking side by side at a T50 and a W55, the W55 appears to be shorter. I wanted to run the SQ Engineering adapter plate but not sure what shifter I would need. I noticed that the W58 has various shifters depending on which car it came off of. I am hoping to get the shifter location to be exactly the same as the T50.

Has anyone done this swap? If so what did you use for parts?

Here is the sq kit I am referring to:

I’m sure somebody here knows; but if you get stuck or need help, I would reach out to Ezekiel at Autohaus_Z. You can reach him on instagram @autohaus_Z. He did a few podcast on this very subject and seems extremely knowledgeable on W swaps to AE86.
Progress. Not perfection.
