The K40 & K50 Clutch Fork

[Raven]

I thought I may as well post this one up as some people have replied in my Drift Wagon thread about this problem and to make things easier for people to search in case this comes up for someone else at a later date, I decided to creat a topic about the clutch forks.

 

Basically, I put a K50 from a KE55 into my KE36 Drift Wagon and used the K40 clutch fork from the old gearbox instead of the K50 one. I now can't select gears properly.

 

So my question is, are the clutch forks different between the two boxes? Or would it seem to be a gearbox or clutch problem?

 

Cheers in advance

Can you select gears without engine running?

 

What does the clutch pedal feel like when you push it?

Do you still have the K50 clutch fork?? Line them up side by side and compare them.

The gearbox is in the car, hence why I'm asking before I go pulling it out :y:

From memory both clutch forks are the same, but I'm not 100% sure. It's been some time. Have you adjusted the cable up at the firewall? Is the gearstick in the hole right?

 

I know the gearstick has to be a K50 one.

Same gearstick that came with the gearbox is being used and its adjusted right up from memory. The car isnt here for me to check at the moment.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has both gearboxes and if they could check for me. :y:

when I replaced the K40 in daisy (1969 ke18) with an '82 starlet (kp61) k50, the forks were different; I had to make a spacer on my firewall

Well, I changed the forks over. No difference. Got a KE70 clutch cable. A little bit better but the gearbox isnt stopping enough to go into gear smoothly.

 

Any suggestions? Flywheel step is too high or not high enough?

So what happens when you go to change gear?

 

Does it crunch?

 

or does the stick not move?

As I said, it doesnt stop the internals of the gearbox to allow it to go in "smoothly".
