Sorry for all the questions you guys must think are easy answers, i'm new be gentle....

 

Pulled a 5 speed out of a 1984 ke70 with 4K at the wreckers yesterday.

 

For all intensive purposes the box looks original and honky dory and as best i can figure out from searching on this forum its a K50 box...

 

One thing a little odd was the trans tunnel in the car had been chopped a little to get the shifter into the car...

 

My only guess was this car started life as an auto and was chopped to fit the manual in?

 

Were the trans tunnels different in autos and manuals?

 

I'm hoping this box will go straight into my 4 speed ke70 and give me that extra cruising ability.

 

cheers for helping

Give us some photo's and we'll tell you straight away.

You are right- We had to cut the floor when we fitted the 4speed in place of the auto.

 

The 5speed dropped straight in afterwards.

Depends what rear housing it has, but if its a KE70 rear housing yeah its fine. Maybe check the plate thingy for what transmission the parts car originally had, so you can find out if it were originally auto
