Toyota Starlet Transmission
Transmission components and drivetrain parts specifically designed for the Toyota Starlet. Quality guaranteed Toyota Starlet used spares with fast delivery across South Africa
Drivetrain and toyota starlet transmission stock covers both classic manual boxes and modern auto units at our two JHB and CPT depots. Classic EP70/EP80/EP82 Starlets came with Toyota C50 and C52 5-speed manual gearbox assemblies (and rare 3-speed autos on base grades) — we stock complete used boxes, clutch kits, flywheels and pressure plates. The GT Turbo 4E-FTE came with a strengthened C52 that is highly sought-after for JDM-style engine swaps. Modern 2020+ Starlets run a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto borrowed from the Baleno platform; differential components are integrated in the transaxle housing. Used manual boxes typically R4,500-R8,500 depending on mileage, autos R6,000-R12,000 complete with torque converter. Every box is spin-tested through all gears before being pulled from a donor car for resale. CV joints, driveshafts and hub assemblies for both eras are in abundant stock at JHB and CPT.
Transmission for Toyota Starlet — Frequently Asked
Is the GT Turbo gearbox the same as the standard EP82?
No. The 4E-FTE GT Turbo uses a stronger C52 variant with different ratios, strengthened synchros and a heavier-duty input shaft. Standard 4E-FE boxes will fit but may not handle turbo torque long-term under boost. We carry both variants, sourced from donor cars.
Can I convert a 2020 Starlet auto to manual?
Technically possible but not cost-effective — you need the manual bellhousing, clutch assembly, gearbox, pedal box, ECU reflash and shift linkages. We stock all the components but most owners opt for a manual-donor replacement car instead, which works out cheaper than the conversion labour.
