Does anyone know definitely weather the 1.8l st uses the same tranny as the 1.8l 7th gen corolla? I ask because I want to know if the cc axles will be the same.I plan to upgrade the suspension to the celica 5 lug all wheel disc brake set up because after a nice weapon r intake a set of headers and a high flow cat I just think The standard suspension isn't going to do the trick ..... The car is much more aggressive now.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section wasn't sure if I should post here or in engine section

thanks Joe

there are some 92-97 Corolla that come with 7afe engine. The other engines are the 4afe 1.5 or 1.6 liter engines.

they use a C series trans just like the 7afe but idk if it is compatible.

all I know is that a 85-90 4age engine found in corolla's and mr2 will not bolt up to a C52 transmission found in 94-97 ST Celica's

if its a c series trans, it will bolt up, only in fwd format. the rwd like the 86 corolla obviously will not work. if im not mistaken a c52 and c53 are the same just the 53 is more refined.

the 2zzge and 4age blacktop 6 speed are the exact same transmission. the 2zzge has no lsd and the blacktop has a lsd. the bellhousing is different between them
^^^ this is the same case for the 85-90 4age vs the 94-97 7afe engine.

What your saying makes sense, but the corolla was rwd back then. unless your talking about the 4age that was offered in a fwd version from that time.

So far from what I've learned through a friend at the parts store the cv axels are definitely different lengths which isn't a problem I'm down to going to the local junkyard and measuring the routers and counting splines. I had previously considered using parts from a Camry but there is a size difference there that frightens me. Not sure if it going to be bolt on or if I will have to make some hybrid axels. I'll let you guys know for sure though as I've noticed many of us celica owners have corollas for daily drivers

uhh where did your conversation of a rwd come in?? never did I mention it nor did toyota123

86 corolla is rwd. I guess i didnt know what 4age he was talking about. when i heard that engine code for some reason i automatically think ae86
