hey I'm wanting to do a manual conversion in my ke55 and there's a manual conversion on here for a ke70, just wondering if it will fit??

 

thanks

The only comment I've seen has been about cutting the floor for the gearlever, or finding a short tailshaft for the KE70 box. I'm not sure if the 4speed drops straight in or those comments apply to 5spd and 4spd.

 

Sorry, not much help, but someone should know for sure.

ok thanks for that,, yes hopefully someone can tell me before it sells..

All boxes are the same length, so your tailshaft should fit fine. The Gearshifter on the KE70 version of the gearbox is further back than the standard KE55 gearbox, so it will not be stock and I'd suggest you need to cut the hole in the right spot.

 

You may also need some mods to your crossmember, I'm not sure if its the KE55 or the KE30 that needs the mod.

 

You will find it quite hard to find the KE55 5 speed, they are much less common.

the KE70 pedal box would most likely NOT fit, the setup looks different.

 

The KE70 5 speed will fit into the KE55, but i think you need to use your existing cross member and you will need to cut the shifter hole (at a guess) about an inch back. which means you would need to mod the center console or remove it.

So the ke55 cross member will be able to be used with out making any mods to it??

ke55 - the '30 has both mounting points.

You can use the ke55 auto cross member but you'll have to weld the other one to it (ke55 manual x-member)

 

Don't quote me but the hole in the auto version is longer
