Adapting a W58 gearbox to your 4AG
Adapter plate by azcustoms of tasmania, australia. $300AUD (that's approximately $180+ USD).
you'll notice that this kit also comes with a pilot bearing adapter to properly place the pilot bearing within correct reach of the input shaft.
keep in mind you will also need a clutch plate of the proper diameter AND with the correct number of splines for the W58 input shaft. just get a hold of a clutch alignment tool for the w58 and bring it to who ever you buy your clutches from.

tom, have you already surmised what clutch will actually have the appropriate spline count to match the w58 but still match the 4age flywheel clutch surface? do you know if it'll have to be a custom plate or if one already exists?kevlar corolla wrote:Stopped into the shop yesterday,things are apart and he's just getting a handle on whats required.Hopefully things progress a decent pace as I need to order the clutch but want to make sure its going to play out 1st.
I suspect the price could be about 1/3 less than the down under fellows asking.

What I'm going to do is have bully clutch(not far from me-which is a switch)build me a clutch.They will do custom stuff so I'm told,I haven't yet contacted the owner Frank about my needs yet.
They just need to build me a disc with a supra center for right input shaft size.I've heard other companies could do the same but will give my local guys the chance 1st.
The gze clutch works with the bigger w tans but the gze flywheel doesn't fit into the t-50 bell plus its a heavy mother trucker.
