RXFORD Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 i just put the standard 1300 bak in the esky but put a 4 speed box, to my horror i didnt fit proply and the diff/driveshaft hav to be changed, i also thought the auto eskys already hav a hole for the clutch cable to go through but mine duznt, the auto gearbox mounts are furthur bak and wider than the manual so without to much truble what can i do there? and also the becoz the manual box in shorter what can i do about the driveshaft? i was thinkn use the manual shaft and diff and see if that works, cheers... matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 yeha i tink you might have to get a manual driveshaft and gearbox mount... unless you want to make an adaptor to fit the 4 speed. and you will have to set up some mounts similar to the manual ones to get the clutch cable through to the clutch fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 same prob here mate....although i already had the manual conversion done....get a piece of 30mmx6mm steel,drill a hole about 13mm in the middle,and a 8mm hole each end to mount to the fire wall,now get a piece of 25mm steam pipe,cut a angle on one end so it points down when its welded over the hole on the flat piece...... or goto a wrecker and unbolt the original manual cable sleeve from the firewall...tadaaaa.... now the crossmember......i think you may have to either make one up,or see if a mk5 cortina one will work,or even a sierra one...i made one up by welding 2 plates off the sides of the manual mounts....bit rangi but itll have to do till i get a cortina/sierra xmember to see if it fits.... good luck.... driveshaft?i threw out my manual shaft that was in ine when it had the 1.3 with 4speed....bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
