Gearbox

There are two types of manual gearbox fitted to BZ cars. Pre-facelift cars are fitted with a 5 speed box carried over from the AE101 model. A 6-Speed gearbox was introduced in 1997.4 (time of the facelift) and was produced until 2000.7. The 6-Speed is known as a C160. Both gearboxes were available with a helical LSD.
