Toyota Yaris 6 Speed Swap Tutorial

[@johnbauer4367]

Nice quick overview of the swap! I was thinking the same thing watching you hug the C50 transmission... LOL

[@ArmstrongRacing]

That C50 was great, not bad at all for a free transmission with some Cusco and Scion magic inside!

[@johnware8270]

You don't know how happy this makes me to see about what would it cost to pull off this swap

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Happy to share, people need to know how easy it is to modify these cars!

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Excellent write-up I just had two questions one if the C60 case is almost identical to the C50 case why couldn't you just use the C60 mounts from say a Celica GTS what is the purpose of swapping the internals into the C50 case just for ease of mounting and also my question was what was the purpose of cutting the frame and pushing it back and inch & welding it? do you just need clearance for something on the transmission case or is it something else? thank you very much I have a 07 Yaris and I would love to do the swap

[@ArmstrongRacing]

I cant use the C60 mounts because they are designed to be fitted to a Celica, Corolla, or Matrix....not a Yaris. You need to use the C50 case to retain the proper shift lever orientation. I had to cut the frame because the C60 is longer and doesn't fit without making more room.

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Armstrong Racing ok excellent, thanks a million. . So the yaris ecu is retained? , no need for any special ecu for the Trans.? Thanks Armstrong!

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Yes the original ECM is retained. No electrical modifications are needed.

[@AguilaJR]

Awesome video!! So do I have clear that a c60 from a 2zzge will bolt on to a 1nzfe and a c50 will bolt on to a 2zzge? I will attempt to do a 2zz swap on a xA, might do engine first only or trans as well just depends.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

C60 and 1NZ have different bell housings, that's why you need to swap C60 internals to the C50 case.

[@AguilaJR]

@@ArmstrongRacing Makes sense. So for a 2zz swap, it'd basically require to use c60 since it would make no sense to transfer the 5 speed internals of c50 to c60 case?!

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Thats correct.

[@AguilaJR]

@@ArmstrongRacing Gotya! So how possible is it mating c60 bellhousing+internals with c50 case? This in order to keep the same transmission mount,shift cables, hubs, possibly axles etc.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

C50 bellhousing and center case+C60 bearings+C60 internals+C60 end cap....thats exactly correct.

[@triniper4mance]

Why did you need a feeler gauge and dial gauge, were they only used so you can check gaps and measure parts to confirm exact fitment? Or are there parts in there that needs to be gapped during the swap?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Yes those tools are for verifying all of the gear and synchro clearances

[@triniper4mance]

@@ArmstrongRacing Great! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your quick response.

[@saitamahitjelyman898]

Hi, I really want a 6 speed in my 2zr swap Yaris. Exactly like this, though I would prefer the gearing of the 6 spd corolla to the Celica 6spd. Do you know if you can do this just as easy with the newer 6 spd corolla bits?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

You might be able to get the 14+ corolla 6speed to fit, but I’m unsure on the mounts

[@saitamahitjelyman898]

Armstrong Racing I cant find much on the newer corolla gearbox. If it has the same final ratio as the c60 I’ll be happy as I want it to be good for highway cruising too as it’ll be dailied, and like that the parts would be easier to come by

[@ArmstrongRacing]

The newer transmissions are E-series, there hasnt been any videos on them yet.

[@brianortizlebron3950]

Hi, I would like to know if this transmission fits in a Yaris (1nzfe) engine. The car is naturally automatic. I have a small project and I would like to know if that transmission fits.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Yes it does, but you need to follow the steps

[@tsd560ti6]

Is the axle spacing and diameter the same on all C50 and C60 series transmissions? I am thinking about changing just the fifth gear on my 2007 Yaris TS (2ZR-FE). It comes stock with a 0.81 along with a 4.31 final drive. I would like to improve highway fuel economy with a .70 gearset from a 2011+ 1.33 6-speed. Alternatively, there is a .72 gearset from the 2006 1.4Diesel.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

I'm not sure I understand your question about the axles, axle splines and lengths can differ based on chassis. You can use the other 5th gear sets, but you need to match the syncronizer and shift hub

[@tsd560ti6]

@@ArmstrongRacing Thanks for your reply! I referred to minute 4:00, where you mounted the 2 shafts. If I got it right, no further changes are needed for the gears to mesh correctly? But still, there could be problems with the wrong number/shape of grooves on the synchro and shift mechanism. - If I understood correctly?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

There are several spacers and the shafts need to be assembled correctly with all matching gear ratios.

[@devalishxb91]

Would this same set up fit in a scion xb?

[@ianhill20101]

Could we use a c65 box with the lsd diff from a mr2 and drop it in the c50 case ? Not sure what shafts I need in the UK, Is the 2zr fe stock power wise ?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Most of the cases are the same inside but you need to use one with the correct mounts

[@jonathanwilliams6922]

Did you finish that in one day

[@ArmstrongRacing]

No, it took me about a month to do this in my spare time

[@jonathanwilliams6922]

I just thought that because the video started in the day and ended at night, but anyway grate video man and awesome job on that transmission man.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Thanks dude!

[@Moonlight29107]

What ecu do u use ? Is it pnp or u have to modify the gear ratio ??

[@ArmstrongRacing]

You do not need to modify anything electrical. Just cut the frame and use xD axles

[@Moonlight29107]

Armstrong Racing btw its 1nz-fe engine that u use right ?

[@Moonlight29107]

Armstrong Racing thanks for the reply

[@ArmstrongRacing]

you can use this gearbox with the 1nz or 2zr.

[@Moonlight29107]

Armstrong Racing thx u so much for the information..

[@jamesbates9705]

hello i want to know all i need for this swap.. i got a toyota yaris 2013 i got a NOS kit instal and a turbo kit as soon but i want a 6 speed lol. sorry for my bad english im french canadian.. thanks for the reply..

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Hi, to start you need to buy a C60 transmission! Then take it apart and swap the bell housing. Next cut the left frame rail, then buy new Scion xD axles. Thats it!

[@DjWaRrIoRpR]

Is it possible to use the same c50 shifter or you need that specific shifter? Is it posible to use the shifter from the 2zz 6speeds?

[@DjWaRrIoRpR]

why did u specifically use the c60 shifter?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

I’m still using the stock Yaris shifter and it shifts fine.

[@DjWaRrIoRpR]

Armstrong Racing are we talking about the same shifter shown in min 4:53? Not the shifter cage inside the car...

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Ohhh you are asking about the shift selector. That has to be from the C60 because the reverse gate is by 1st instead of being on the same shaft as 5th in the 5 speeds.

[@Bad_handle]

YOU are the GOAT

[@goodkill1]

I want a yaris hatch so bad but they're hard to find in my price range. Plus i got this rx7 swap im doing that is eating up a ton of money, which i knew it would.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

HA! I hear stories about how the rotaries drain bank accounts. Try looking on Craigslist, Ive seen some on there for decent prices.

[@goodkill1]

@@ArmstrongRacing im not building a rotary, 3.7 cyclone from a 2011 mustang.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

holy moly thats awesome

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Is it possible to do it to the Yaris with automatic transmission as well?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

You have to do the whole manual gearbox conversion too(ECM, pedals, mounts, shifter)

[@williamlauzon2615]

So if you use the C50 case why notch the frame? Why wouldn't it fit all of a sudden?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Because there is an extra gear on the end (6th), making the end cap longer.

[@williamlauzon2615]

@@ArmstrongRacing So it's built with the C50 bellhousing/c50 case (with yaris mount)/c60 endcap?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Thats correct

[@cath2035]

Whats the c50 out of?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Just about every low end FWD Toyota, very very common

[@1noesandoval]

Why did you remove the reverse lockout ?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

You don't want the 5/6 shift rod to contact that, or you won't be able to shift into 6th

[@1noesandoval]

I have a c50 out of a first gen xb I like the gear ratio can I use 1-5 from the xb shafts on the c60 with the 6 gear from c60 and where are you getting your rebuild kits from ? It’s just going in a daily driver I do a lot of high way driving

[@ArmstrongRacing]

I buy everything from Toyota

[@triniper4mance]

@@ArmstrongRacing So, you removed the C50 reverse lockout and left it out without putting anything back in its place?

[@geroconnell7190]

Do you know if you can bolt this to the c150 bellhousing for a 1nz

[@ArmstrongRacing]

I believe so, just gotta upgrade the bearing and use all of the C60 parts

[@pablitogmr8021]

It is posible to do it to an toyota echo 1nz?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Yes it has been done already, there is a video of it on KZbin

Once you swap cases, yes

[@DragonsIayer182]

Cool, thanks!

[@marcsimard2723]

But did you get an LSD with that 6speed?

[@ArmstrongRacing]

No I didn't, I wanted to be sure the swap was possible before dropping in an LSD. Now I need to buy one, and cryo-treat the gears

Wait so this would work on a Corolla as well

Yes my Lord, it can work on ANY FWD Toyota . LOL

I havent had a 96 transmission apart yet, but if the shaft and case setup is the same as the 2000 then yes.
