Ke55 4K Motor And Ke10 K40 Gearbox, Compatibility Issues?

[you_nes]

Hi all,

 

Looking for advice as to any compatibility issues with bolting these two together (other than the different input spline on the box)

 

My thought was that all you had to do was get a KE1X friction plate to deal with the spline issue, then bolt it all together using the rest of the parts from the KE55 Donor (Flywheel and pressure plate)

but judging by how my engine no longer turns over with this set up, I would say my assumption was wrong!

 

Where did I go wrong?

The 4k engine you used, was it once bolted to an automatic transmission?

No, had a KE55 K40 hanging off the back

pulled the box out today, found the problem.

 

Problem was (and is) that the outer face of the pressure plate hits up against the little snout on the bellhousing where the clutch fork goes in, did a comparison between the KE10 K40 and the KE55 K40 and the snout extends further forward on the KE10 box (about 10mm) so i guess that 10's must have had either a thinner flywheel or lower profile clutch.

 

can anyone confirm?
