I'm in Brissy northside (Bray Park) I don't have a KE55 tailshaft no... I am hoping it will bolt up to the KE30 shaft (the manual tail shafts are the same as each other I am hoping its the same with the auto). If not I can get a KE55 yoke and get a tailshaft place to put it on the KE30 shaft I guess...

Hmm the tailshaft may become a problem then... I have a later model KE30 (78) with the updated Grill and Interior pieces. Ill see if I can confirm if the speedo cable differ in anyway... Thanks for the heads up JiP

Hey Guys, Anyone know if the tailshaft from a KE30 will bolt up to a KE55 auto trimatic gearbox? Bolting upto a 4K. Cheers, Kel

Sam do you have answers for everything? ;) Mind shooting me an e-mail in regards to modding the pedal box? And we can discuss your method tomorrow when I reply to your e-mail :D (and we need to organise those bits soon :P)

Hey Guys, Getting my 20v in to KE30 sorted. I've tried to search for threads on the conversion, I've got most of the info. Can someone point me to the right direction on where to find info on these bits: Which pedal box to use for hydraulic clutch? How to use stock ECU? (ie, when removing dizzy, what do you use? How to wire?) I will be modding the airbox to allow it to use the stock ECU. Those are the 2 big things holding me back... ;) Cheers, Kel

Oh I have an ISP (work e-mail address) But when you actually press register is says "Registration has been turned off" Surely they aren't denying all new members? But thanks for the bit of info ;)

Okay... I don't see a vac line going to the gearbox... But I also don't see any broken lines either?

Hey Guys, I was trying to register for ae86drivingclub.com.au, but it looks like registration is closed? I looked around for an e-mail to an administrator but no luck... Anyone know how I go about it? I need to grab some parts for the 20v conversion ;) Cheers, Kel

I shall check for a vac line to the gearbox in the morning, I can't say I actually noticed one to there. Yeah I did read it Evan, but didn't really see anything there that resembles what I have ;)

Ok... Fluid level is now good... Shifts and takes off from 1st still fine. In all 3 gear positions (L 2 D). Will hold first gear to 60kph if I hold the accelerator then just drops gears and free revs. When I am driving along and shift from D to 2, I feel it trying to do something. I n slower speeds I now hear a whining when in the 2 position, but no other position. If I keep my foot on the accelerator in D or 2 it will select a gear for about 2 seconds then drops the gear and free revs again. In L it holds the gear and starts screaming its tits off and shakes like its going to die. The plot thickens?

True... but I'd do it in my shed... Which has a lovely painted floor so I can just wipe it up :jamie:

Ill be dead if I use the funnel from the kitchen... The wife would kill me in my sleep :D I shall get soem fluid tomorrow and make it all better. Back to planning the conversion then! :jamie:

Oh, thank you all very much for your help. Really feel good to feel like an idiot :jamie:

Haha true... Well the fluid totally slipped my mind :jamie: What the best way to fill the box? Fill up some, go for a drive test the level and so forth? I've been so pre-occupied tryng to get all the stuff for the conversion since I bought the car, it hasn't really recieved the proper looking after... I;ve given up on the 3k and auto already :D
