Toyota Cressida Gwm Gearbox

Category: Brand:

a manual transmission sourced from Great Wall Motors (GWM) that has been adapted for use in a Toyota Cressida. It’s not a standard Toyota part, but rather a modification sometimes used by enthusiasts. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
  • Toyota Cressida:

    The Toyota Cressida was a rear-wheel-drive sedan produced from 1976 to 1992, known for its reliability and comfortable ride.

  • GWM:

    Great Wall Motors (GWM) is a Chinese automobile manufacturer.

  • Manual Transmission Swap:

    Swapping a transmission from another vehicle, especially a manual one, is a common modification for performance and customization purposes in older cars like the Cressida.

  • GWM Gearbox in Cressida:

    In the case of the Cressida, some owners or mechanics might choose to use a manual gearbox from a GWM vehicle, potentially due to availability, cost, or specific gear ratios.

  • Why a Swap?

    Older cars like the Cressida may have worn-out or difficult-to-find original transmissions. Swapping in a different manual gearbox can offer a better driving experience, increased performance, or allow for the use of a different engine.

  • Considerations:
    When performing such a swap, factors like compatibility, mounting points, driveshaft length, and gear ratios need to be carefully considered and potentially modified.

The Toyota Cressida commonly came with a 4-speed automatic transmission, specifically an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, with a lock-up torque converter for improved performance and fuel efficiency. This transmission was often paired with an inline-6 engine, such as the 3.0L 7M-GE. The Cressida’s transmission was designed for smooth shifting and responsive performance. 

Key Specifications:
  • Transmission Type: 4-speed automatic, electronically controlled with overdrive.
  • Drive Type: Rear-wheel drive.
  • Engine: Often paired with a 3.0L inline-6 engine (e.g., 7M-GE).
  • Key Features: Shift pattern selector, lock-up torque converter.
  • Shifting: Smooth, responsive shifts due to torque control compensator. 
Additional Details:
  • The Cressida’s transmission included a lock-up torque converter to improve fuel efficiency. 
  • The automatic transmission had a shift pattern selector. 
  • The engine, like the 3.0L inline-6, was known for its smooth power delivery. 
  • Some Cressidas were also available with a manual transmission, though the automatic was more common.
