Draft:Toyota C transmission

Toyota Motor Corporation's C series family is a family of manual synchromesh transmissions built for transverse engine applications. This includes small to mid-sized front-wheel-drive vehicles, as well as mid-engine rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

At stock power levels the C transmissions are pretty durable, even used in drag racing or road racing applications. With some added power though the gears become a weak point. In road race applications, exceeding 250whp pushes the stock 3rd and 4th gear to and past their limit.

The 6-speed (C60, C63, C66) transmissions have 3 support bearings per shaft so they have very few bearing problems. The 5-speed variants have only 2 support bearings on the input shaft and 2 on the output shaft; it’s not uncommon to get some noise (most noticeable cruising in 5th gear) and even a failure of the #2 output shaft bearing.
