For all the time and effort we spend on making power, few people really take tuning to the next step by optimizing the transmission's gear ratios to the engine's power curve. It's not nearly as important if the car is new and has an abundance of power but, in the case of Project Corolla, gearing can mean everything on the track.

We rarely take apart transmissions here at SCC simply because there is rarely a need. Discounting Coleman's rally beater Datsun 510 (which has an engine and transmission swap), Project Corolla is the oldest project car in the ranks still running on its original transmission. This means the track beating we've been giving it has brought the stock gear box near the end of its service life. The slop and bearing material in the transmission oil was proof.

So we need a fresh transmission. We might as well freshen up the differential at the same time since the OEM LSD had pretty much worn out years ago. If this were any other car, this could have been taken care of with a trip to the junkyard and a weekend parts swap. That's the problem with old cars. Even with the piles of T50 transmissions that Toyota produced for the Corolla and various other vehicles over the years, reasonably low wear parts are just too difficult to come by. The added craze of SR5-to-GTS Corolla conversions has all but depleted the Corolla parts bin. The only reasonable option left was to rebuild the transmission. As the adage goes, if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing. So we've decided to undertake building our stock gearbox with all new internals and a TRD gear set originally designed for spec racing back in the days. The rear axle would also be rebuilt and refurbished in addition to getting updated with a TRD 2-way clutch-type LSD.
