Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 would a box from an L200 fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobranz Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 hey 4g32 is just ex lancer 1600 so any ex lancer 5 speed, sigma 5 speed or l200 narrow box will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 there r several l200 gearboxes on trademe how do i know if the r narrow block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobranz Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 ya need to get one off a 4g63, 2 litre l200. 2.6 l200 are different so wont fit. i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Gearbox shafts vary length wise according to age. Convert the whole dealio to 4G63 to be sure. Drops straight in and is well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 yea with the petrol prices im keen to leave the engine as a 4g32 plus its just been rebuilt. would a 5 speed from a '83 sigma fit right in without any problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Bolt to the motor, yes, but your shifter will be in the wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 how much would it change forward or back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyrr Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 If you leave original engine in place, shifter will be about 120mm further back with the longer sigma 5spd box (can cause problems with the handbrake area. L200 ones are langer than standard 4spd box but have shifter further forward than the sigma ones. Otherwise try and get an old GTO 5spd gearbox and driveshaft. I think they will both bolt straight up from memory for easy conversion. Can't remember if clutch is the same between the 16L and GTO though.

allan Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 are you guna sell the 4 speed im keen haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Easiest would be a 5 speed from a 1600 Ex (and you'll NEED the 5 speed x-member) Or... Get a Sigma box, and swap the "rear extention housing" over from a L200, this will bring the shifter back to the same place as the Ex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Get a Sigma box, and swap the "rear extention housing" over from a L200, this will bring the shifter back to the same place as the Ex assuming the colt has the same shifter distance as lancer but yea l200 box will be your best bet of it being in the right place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 will i need a special cross member for the l200 gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustyrusty Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 i tried a sigma box into my ex and needed to shorten driveshaft so mite wanna chek that out before u start ripping out haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ganja_gorrilla Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 so l200 will fit in but shifrter will be a bit further back will drive shaft need to be shortend? im so confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 so l200 will fit in but shifrter will be a bit further back will drive shaft need to be shortend? im so confused L200 will fit and the shifter will be in the right spot or close to the right spot. Sigma will fit but the shifter will be further back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 random how sum ppl hav to shorten driveshafts,others dont have too even doin the same conversions. yea its fucked up my vr4 engine and hilux diff both which i would assume would be longer than my stock ex stuff, and i needed to lengthen my driveshaft! l200 box will be ur best bet mate then i assume a 5 speed gbox xmember for a colt or maybe a lancer like caboons model or even a ex 5 speed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
