I solved my AE111's 1st to 2nd (into reverse gate) by installing a quick shift kit (Tsuda or TRD use same dimensions). Goes into 2nd easily every time now. If you want to make it feel even better, install solid bushings into the shifter housing (4 bolts) and replace the shifter linkage bushings (view from inside the engine bay) from rubber to metal. I pressed in 2x 608-ZZ skateboard bearings and its an amazing feeling. Strongly recommend!

Thanks for the detailed information! This information would be helpful to C160 users. My current AE111 (white one) has no problem in shifting between 1st and 2nd. I'm also considering TRD's quick shift, which is no longer available as new, someday in the future.
I agreed with the C160 not being very smooth in shift, I have one too in my EP82 Starlet, it helps a lot with acceleration.

EP82 with transplanted C160, that's great! It is also said in Japan that the 2nd gear of C160 is not smooth. I tried Wako's gear oil (75W-90), but only slightly improved. It's kind of a habit, but I think C160 has good durability.

@@paleae1115 I bought one with low mileage and inspected the synchro when doing the transplant, all appear to be in great shape, 2nd gear doesn't feel too different from other gears, but it does require better rev match when downshift from 3rd. I think this transmission shifts a bit better at higher rpm, during which the oil works better to help synchro to grab the gear.

@@gtpdz I see. The situation may be different in case of tuned cars like yours. Not a few C160 users point out stiffness in upshifting from 1st to 2nd gear. In my impression, downshifting does not need such a strict rpm control. Of course, as you said, adequate rpm is necessary for smooth gear change.

@@paleae1115 Indeed the shift feel can change quite a bit when transmission is transplanted. I use a C's short shifter for the EP so the shift feel is heavy in every gear, and the shift select (left to right) is also shorter than Levin and original EP C52.

@@gtpdz Hearing your shit, I also want to introduce TRD's quick shift, which has shorter stroke than the original. Thanks!
