Hey I'm just wondering if fitting a ke70 5spd would mean that you would have to modify the tailshaft?

 

if so what are the options for gearbox's in a ke10 with standard tailshaft?

 

 

cheers

You can run a ke70/55 5 speed gearbox in a KE10. You do not need to shorten the tailshaft, although you do need to get a ke30 Yoke and swap it onto the KE10 tail shaft. This is what I'm doing at the moment, Just haven't bothered to find a KE30 Yoke. I got this information from Toymods.

 

Regards.

I converted my ke11 from auto to

manual and the tail shaft from

auto was exact length for 5 speed and Also the yoke was the same it was just matter or changing pedal setup and putting 5 speed in and obviosly clutch ..

But there was no changes to tail shaft needed

I have a 4 Speed Manual box from a KE10 and It doesn't fit. Are you saying an Automatic KE10 Yoke fits into the KE55/70 5 Speed Box?

Yes I have a ke55 box in ke11 and all I done was swap the 2spees auto gearbox for te 5speed and the tail shaft slotted straight in and bolted straight up to diff .. Nothing to change on tailshaft

Got a jap diff?

 

If so get a gearbox yoke from a jap diffed ke3x (4/5 speed doesn't matter), and graft it onto the front of your existing tailshaft with a new uni joint (part No. K5-A517).

cheers for the replys.. havent got a motor yet but i figure i may as well go 5 speed straight out instead of having to change it again later.

 

and also how is the easy way of telling what diff is in a ke10?

Jap diff is sealed unit at back of centre housing .. The Aussie diff had bolts around outside of centre housing at the back

If u got ke11 I'd say u got Aussie diff unless it's been changed

If u got ke11 I'd say u got Aussie diff unless it's been changed

I had to change my yoke over when I changed my toyoglide to a ke55 5 speed.

i have a ke11 with a factory jap diff... hop under the car to have a look. easiest way. :blinks:

So the ke10b I got is jap diff and my ke11 is aussy.. which diff is stronger? Not that either would be :)
