ke30_nut Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 Hey guys i have an auto ke30 and I'm just wanting too know exactly everything i need too convert it too a manual? Is it a big job or pretty straight forward? Cheers Quote
fusion Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 No ones replying most likely because it has been covered before, even if it is for other KE's. Use the search function and you just might find some helpful information :) Quote

Use the search function and you just might find some helpful information :) It's easy , get a Ke55 5 spd and swap it , all the parts are the same. But while I had mine out I did the clutch at the same time . It'll save you time in the long run . It's an afternoon job. Ben Dover Quote
billygoat Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 You will need to swap your Auto brake pedal box with a manual pedal box because the clutch pedal and brake pedal are on the same box. Quote
irokin Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 It's easy , get a Ke55 5 spd and swap it , all the parts are the same. Well...no they're not. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=15417 Use that as a guide, the KE30 will need similar work. Quote
Clapped out Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 Yeah it has been covered before, i can definatly help you out, ive done this before. things i need to know to help you before i can tell you what you need, (if that makes sence). i need to know -what year model exactly -2 or 3 speed auto -photo of the underside of your floor pan (where the gearbox cross member bolts to the floor, some ke30-55 didnt have all the bolt positions for both auto and manual together), cheers phatke30!

Ben Dover Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 come on guys Sorry ,when I answered your disscusion I asumed you had a four speed already? If you have the possibility of getting a damaged Ke30 manual (as I did ) then the process of doing the conversion is a lot easier, because it's a matter of removing from 1 into the other. Then you will have all your bits and pieces ,bolts , cables , peddels etc. If your in Adelaide send me a message and I'll see what I have laying around.Good Luck. Ben Dover Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Ke 30 35 55 should have the clutch cable flange allready on the firewall. as my auto KE30 in picture circled in red. you may just need to drill the hole. just swap over evrything.

Yeah mate thats true, all models have this, no need to drill the hole, its already there, although you will still have to change over the whole pedal box as the auto pedal box doesnt have the housing for the clutch pedal, cheers phatke30!

irokin Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 Yeah mate thats true, all models have this, no need to drill the hole, its already there I'm assuming you mean KE30/55s? Caws the KE70 autos most certainly don't have them. Gotta drill the hole and tack the adjuster cup on. Quote
Clapped out Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 ^^^^^^^Yeah mate, good point! yeah i was refering to the ke3x and ke5x models only! as the car in question is a ke30, ive never had anything to do with the more late model rolla's. cheers phatke30! Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Yeah it has been covered before, i can definatly help you out, ive done this before. things i need to know to help you before i can tell you what you need, (if that makes sence). i need to know -what year model exactly -2 or 3 speed auto -photo of the underside of your floor pan (where the gearbox cross member bolts to the floor, some ke30-55 didnt have all the bolt positions for both auto and manual together), cheers phatke30! It's a KE30, it has a 2 speed auto. And the manual cross member will fit. If it was a KE55, it would be a 3 speed auto, and the manual cross member wont bolt up. Quote
renfen Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 It's a KE30, it has a 2 speed auto. And the manual cross member will fit. If it was a KE55, it would be a 3 speed auto, and the manual cross member wont bolt up. so your saying that ALL ke30s are 2 speeds? Quote
