will your old inner joint go into the other axles cup? if it fits correctly then there ya go, custom axles! otherwise you need to tell us what trans you bought or what 'swap' you bought.

they are St215 caldina axles, which have the same wheel base depth. they are the only axle i no of that you can use with a c52 trans in a celica

yes, the FWD axles are available in northamerica, although not THAT easy to find. I belive there is also an alternative using a mix of inner and outers from the mr2 and st202 inners. I will look into it for you.

i´ll find around the web too. I think that the st202 dont work because the other axle its bigger and i need the rear mount for the passenger side axle . I saw some pictures in the web of an engine with the fwd trans, here its the pic so can have an idea:





Other thing its that im not pretty shure that my trans its a c52, but i read in some other forums that the c52 trans have a black cover (5th gear cover). Any other toyota trans with this black cover? :S.

Thanks a lot for your help Mstoochn!

locate the starter, look adjcent to the start and there will be a Serial Num for the tranny. 8E4 or 8E5 will be the first three digits of a C52 trans.
if this came from a st215 calinda is would have to be a c52

yea thats from a fwd calinda... wow
u may need to go custom axles. or use the calinda half shafts with st185 or st204 axles with an axle spacer
