5spd conversion


Recommended Posts

thx miles,

 

but didn't completely understand your reply.

 

use an EA81 clutch and flywheel or a basic EA82 clutch & flywheel?

and bit of grind on the bell housing.....

take a peek under half the boards rides (gallery?)

 

what axle/spline set ups did you guys use?? stock EA81?

 

thx

thx Q,

 

EA82 clutch & flywheel, check.

 

I didn't see anything regarding CV/axles & splines....are the stock ea81 CVs compatable..? I thought the 5spd had a different spline count.

 

i got a custom set of CVs that the original 'pioneer' used on his set-up (from donor car). he also put in ea82 frt brakes. is that why he had the custom axls done. Do I have to convert the frt brakes to ea82 also to complete conversion or was that just another 'upgrade'?

 

gracias,

thx all,

 

learning here,

 

I have the full time RX 5spd D/R w/ ctr dif & LSD.

I believe the splines ARE different in which I will have to go the with custom axle set up & EA82 steering knuckles & brakes.......

 

didn't know that there are different configurations of 5spds

 

thx again

since you are using the ea81 motor, the ea82 flywheel is what you will use, but you will have to grind away metal on the bottom of the engine bellhousing, to allow room for the teeth on the flywheel. you will use the ea81 flywheel bolts, although smaller in dia. than the holes themselves. but the flywheel wiss center on the crankshaft anyway

 

you winn also be required to use the ea82 clutch disc and pressire plate to the transmission you are using

 

its possible to use the ea81 flywheel, the pressure plate will bolt up either way, but the ea82 clutch disc(which you must use) may be too big for the ea81 flywheel.

 

search around, its all over the board. but anything you dsont find, just ask
