charl Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hey everyone, its been a while but I'm back again, i just would like to know if anyone can recommend a good place to get my 5k rebuilt as it is time to get into making this little rocket go again! also when putting a k50 5 speed into my car do i need to modify the tailshaft? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 If it helps, I'm getting my block machined by Charlick engine services in Brighton. And you wont need to modify the tailshaft when changing to a 5spd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) awesome, thanks for the info!! But just to clarify with the gearbox i will have to move the hole for the shifter back hey? Also I'm guessing its not as straight forward as swapping an auto trans?

JiP Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Whats the 5 speed out of? KE55 or KE70?? If its a KE55 5 Speed then no cutting is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 ke70 5 speed so i got a ke55 automatic centre console to try and maintain the stock internals look!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ahh okay. Well your on the right track with the auto console then. Sadly I haven't done a KE70 box swap before so I can only say what I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 thanks for the info! i have seen a thread on here before of someone doing this mod and i think i remember a picture of them having used an old number plate to plug up the original hole and cutting a hole to accept the ke70 k50 gearbox but ive just spent an hour trying to find it and have had no luck so if anyone know where it is please point me in the right direction!! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
