Brendo Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Want to know if a ke70 5 speed will bolt onto a 3k... also how long would a ke10 4 speed last with 135bhp and a brass button clutch..would it last one track day if i try baby it... cheers Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counc Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 from experience the original ke10 4 speed boxes are pretty strong you should have too much trouble from 1 or 2 races prop wouldnt last much longer than that tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendo Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 cool, i have a ke30 4 speed in it now but blew that to the shithouse i was slightly hard on it tho.. i have 2x ke10 4 speeds in the shed, and can get hold of a ke70 box, just wondering what would be best to do cheers Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yes (with a but) A KE70 5spd will bolt to a 3K http://www.rollaclub.com/articles/gearbox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I THINK ke70 5 speeds and earlier model ke with k50's have the shifter in differant positions and you need to hack up ya floor i think if you use a ke70 k50 in lets say a ke55 or something around those lines. correct me if I'm wrong people.

Brendo Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) thanks guys, i reckon i will just put the ke10 4 speed in now cause i have to race in 4 weeks and i got a fulltime job so..... :D Edited September 22, 2006 by Brendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrolla Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 i think a ke30 4 speed would be stronger, i blew the 4 speed in my ke10 with a dead stock 4k, they are pretty weak boxes, plus the gear shifter hole comes through the floor in a different spot so you will have to cut a hole in the floor for it, it might also have a bit extra load on it because of the sticky tyres and the welded diff, hows the ke30 diff holding up in it?? cheers james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendo Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 yeah really i want an identical box for it i think nickz might have one for me... the diff is holding up fine so far, i think the gearbox will break again before the diff, the box is easily the weakest link, all the shit it has to withstand lol cheers Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5qra Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Can I put without any mod k50 gearbox into place of k40 into a Corolla ke50, Allready i'vr got k50 at car without any mods, but noise is horrible. I cam only use "4" and "R". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 brendo if you've got a couple of busted box's and wanna buy some new bearings I could re-build a box for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrolla Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 just rebuild your old box like taz said, i did that with my 4 speed as it had noisey bearing and its like a new box now, didnt cost much either, about $30 if i remember right from a bearing shop, i just took my old ones in and they matched them up with new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I meant more along the lines of making 1 good box out of 2 fugged ones. ie, some will wear out the shaft that the solid gear set is on, some will shear teeth etc, find a good 1 of every part and make them 1 box! :) they're a bitch to try and work out to start with, with the sliding gears and all, but once you've done it once it easy. I can just show you how to do it if you want?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
