love ke70 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 no its not! i ran a 4 speed for several weeks and it didnt bother me, fuel economy is not considerably worse either. just do it, i don't think you will be too bothered by it...light throttle isnt very loud which is what cruise will be like on the motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong, but you'll need a box out of a 70 for it to line up, but as people before have done, nothing an angle grinder can't fix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Both 4 & 5 speeds from ke30/55 had shifters in the same spot, likewise the ke70's were in the same spot as each other. Just different shifters between models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammo[RL] Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Considering that the 4 speed and the auto both have a 1:1 direct drive top gear, it should be no different on the highway. should turn the same revs, unless you change the diff, and therefore the diff ratio, but wouldn't make that much difference anyway...
