w58 swap question. what fork/slave

[tak209]

i was wondering what fork do i use when using a custom bellhousing for the w58 to 4ag. do i use the w58 fork and bearing or do i use the t50 with w58 bearing? also what slave? i read in one post that its the w58 slave but i just wanted to be sure.... to me the w58 fork is really long and the slave i have for the w58 from the celica supra looks like its going straight to block.... just was looking for some solid info.

The niteparts bell housing does not come predrilled for a clutch slave cylinder so you can decide either gts or celica and whichever arm you want. I'm going with all celica stuff

I'm using the niteparts bell as well , have you came Across the issue where the bearing carrier sits too far out on the snout kind of seems like it will fall off with operation ?

Have you mounted the transmission up with the flywheel and clutch? It seemed fine when I mocked mine up. Pretty much all of the splines should be engaging the clutch disc.

Not yet waiting on my clutch to come in

sorry for the late reply but ya im just gonna use the ae86/t50 fork and slave. but when i mocked it up it seemed like it wasnt fitting right...

I dont know if you know this, but the fork and throwout bearing only move fractions of an inch. I wouldn't worry about it coming off. After reading what Ron aka turtle posted about his w58 swap and my mockups, I would recommend using w58 throwout arm, bearing, and slave even.

a quick comparison of the two they look exactly the same. just the ae86 one is half a inch shorter. but the two fork end where the bearing clips to is the same.
