Hay guys need alittle help. Iv just pulled out my 5 speed out of my ke55 to put into my ke70 an its not long enough to reach the hole in the floorpan. So what i would like to know is the rear extention housing different between a ke70 5speed an a ke55 5speed..... Even how the gear box mount bolts to the gearbox is different the 70 mount has 4 12mm bolts that bolt to the box where the 55 has 1 bolt. Also i got the ke70 as a shell so i have no idea if the mount I'm tryin to use is from a auto since I'm just using the parts that were in the car wen i got it. Any help would be great as iv finialy got some motorvation to get my supercharged 5k in the car an running after 6 months only to have this happen. Cheers.

Ke55 shifter position is different. You need a ke70 5 speed.

You'll be able to swap the rear housing over between the g'boxes.

The only time you wouldn't be able to do the swap is if its from a 4 speed to a 5 speed and vise verse.

Thanks guys. If i change the rear housings over ill have to change the shifter linkages to right cause they will be to short? Or will the ke70 rear housing come with the longer linkages?

They're contained within the extension housing. You also need to make sure you get the KE70 T50 shifter too as they're also different from KE55 style ones.

Sweet. Cheers for all the help guys. Now to find some parts :-)
