This is probably a noob question but i can't find any other topics on it anywhere.

I've got a ke55 with k40 i presume? can i just buy a k50 and bolt it straight in place of the 4 speed? Or do i need different tailshafts, mounts etc.?

 

Thanks :blush:

They are exactly the same, but one has an extra gear.

 

Although: a Ke30/55 shifter location is different from a Ke70. So you will need one to suit a 55 or be willing to cut your tunnel as a Ke70 shifter is further back.

ok thanks heaps :)

So just clarifying, that my K70 with a 4 speed box can have 5 gears if I find me a K50 box and bolt it straight in?

 

If so, cool bananas and Baked Beans

yes straight bolt in and a ke70 bo will be easy to find as all the drif tguys buy em thrash em pull em out and drop 4ages in the realise a 4age is a crappy upgrade and buy a silvia

Wooooo...

 

sexy times after I finish the rust removal and replacement :)

 

I drive to Kadina (2 hours at 100km/h) a lot, so the 5th gear will be nice :)

Gearbox mounts between KE3x/55 and KE70 boxes are also different.

how about the KE20's gearbox? would the K50 bolt straight in?

Gearbox mounts between KE3x/55 and KE70 boxes are also different.

 

With very easy/minor mods you can mix and match the mounts. Just have to drill two new holes in the mount to match.
