Turns out the gear itself is not to wide, but the collar at its base, that combined with the Yaris synchro made it bind up. And it is only the 3rd and 4th on the input side that is the challenge. They take a little bit off the collar and install the Celica/MR-S synchro its supposed to fit.

Fingers crossed.

I'm afraid you've got me stumped on that one. I didn't realize there were two C56 variants, or at least that there were significant internal differences between the front and rear mounted versions.

Toyota must have a big range of different gearbox versions, my S-53 is fairly common, but I ended up with a JDM box and can't find syncros or shims to fit it! Would love to find an alternate final drive, the 4.18 is just not working for our longer tracks here in the East.

C56A open diff
C56B LSD

You may actually have the same problem we did and not know it yet if you have not put it back together. You wont know until you jam it all in the case and measure the drag when you spin it.
