Ke17 Gear Boxes

[Project Sprinter]

Can anybody confirm that the K40 gearbox was the only manual box used in the KE17's imported into Australia?

 

Is this also the same box found in AMI built KE10's?

 

Did they change the box for KE11's?

 

Appreciate any advice that can be given.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

KE1X cars only came out with a K40.

 

Have the shifter right up high on the extension housing.

 

Ratios were the same.

Pre 6903 is a different part number for the whole transmission for both KE10/15........ Why?

 

The master catalog (printed Nov 72) says the Counter Gear shaft 33411-19015 is common to KE1x & KE2x.

 

However I also have an English language part book (printed Sept 69) for the KE11 series and a JDM book for KE17 which says the countershaft is 33411-12010.

 

A quick google of 33411-12010 tells me via various suspiciously similar US based part sites, that 33411-19015 replaced 33411-12010.

 

So if they are correct, likely you could cannibalize a KE2x K40 for the counter shaft

Parrot if I can cannibalize the KE2x gearbox - is the gear box with the selector to the aft end? or is it still further up like the KE10/17 gearbox?

Sorry Gary. I'm going purely from the exploded part diagrams.

 

Assuming from Terryo's post you are after the countershaft, you should be able to use the KE20 part in your KE1x box.

 

Swapping the entire box in is a different issue I can't comment on.

Thanks Parrot, most appreciated. I can take a look at the KE20 box I have in the garage and see if we get the countershaft married-up.

There are some odd boxes out there, tailshaft spline is different and one bellhousing bolt is located in a different spot.

Thanks Andy - sorry for he delayed response. We've found this along the way too!
