Help Identifying transmission

Bit of a long shot but I bought this BorgWarner 0505 4 speed for my Toyota Corona, which features the Holden built Starfire 1.9L 4 cylinder (also called a 1X by Toyota). But I cannot for the life of me find the parts to rebuild it, there's almost zero information on an 0505 transmission.

From what I am seeing, this transmission was used in Mitsubishi Sigmas and Galants. Might be worth going to some Mitsubishi forums

Wait what year of galant?
Some of those model years had a lot of crossover with the colt.
And the colt was rebadged literally a dozen times around the world.
There might be several cars that used this transmission.

Looks like late 70’s/80’s models from what I can tell

Yeah I've cross posted to the Holden sub, have dug around Mitsubishi forums for Sigma insight with no luck. I've even emailed BorgWarner directly

I've found 0503, 0504, and 0506 on the OZ Flacon board. So maybe something down that rabbit hole.

Yeah that's what I'm begging to assume is that a 0503 or 0506 must be much of the same internally

Kinda looks like a Triumph single rail. But it’s definitely not that.

Yeah it's definitely a single rail type, but I've been digging for days and can't find a damn thing about the 0505. Just 0503 ,0506 etc. and I did find a rebuild kit for a 'late model single rail BorgWarner 4 speed' but it doesn't mention what models it fits

I have spent the last 20mins typing "5 speed" to find the damn thing.
Try borg warner T10. Although if it's a 4speed that came off a starfish, sure it's not a munchie m21?
tollboi@reddit (OP)
Yeah it's not the T10 or the M21. They're similar but not identical. :(
