5 speed for f8b??

[Blair_355]

Hey Peoples,
Is there any 5 speeds that bolt to a f8b engine???


Cheers,
Blair.

There are a few options, whats your budget?

[Blair_355]

Budget well.
As much as it might cost.
Is there anything that is direct bolt in??

[Brayden]

There are gearboxes that will bolt up to the motor, but they require custom driveshafts.

So no, there is no direct "plug & play" 5 speed.

What gearboxes are they??
I don't mind having to get custom shafts.

[Brayden]

Namely F5A and F6A imports.

[Blair_355]

Are they easy to come by??

[Brayden]

No idea, you'd have to call some importers or import wreckers and ask!

[Blair_355]

ok thanks for your help.

i've got driveshafts from an F5B auto, which may or may not be suitable, i'll get some measurements for you.

Also have the suspension and brakes/hub to suit.

Oti, pics of the shafts please! Gearbox end especially!

While i get the pics ready, i should note that there is a difference in both shaft and spline comparing the 2WD sohc auto vs the 4wd dohc manual, and the difference could be down to either of the 3 variances.

Hmm, pics of the shafts either don't exist or they're still on the camera, either way i won't be able to get them until this coming sunday.
