davek_14 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Hello to all, I have not been very active for a while, working in another state cramps the style a bit!! I have just spent the weekend swapping over a 4K engine and 4 speed manual from a Ke55 into a Ke30 auto. I have everything in, except the gearbox bracket from the Ke55 does not line up at all with the old automatic bracket position in the Ke30. Has anyone done this conversion, I assume it is common?? Do I need a manual gearbox bracket from a Ke30 or is it something that has to be made up?? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers David Quote
sammo[RL] Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 2 speed or 3 speed auto? 2speed cross member is the same as manual, but the later 3 speeder is very different! Quote

Clapped out Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Hey there fella, it sounds like your one of the unfortunate guys that has a ke30 with NO BOLT HOLES for a manual crossmember? (underside of tunnel), only has the holes for the auto crossmember?, cheers phatke30! Edited December 2, 2007 by phatke30 Quote

Rolla__Boy Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 You will have to get a custom cross member made up...or get the mounts welded to the underside of your car. Quote
