Some useful gearbox info??

[smidge]

found this info while looking thru trademe... sorry if its old news just sounds like the guys done it before!!

"If you have a dead CVT & a 1.3L motor, they all die prematurely. I'd suggest you fit a manual gearbox (a friend of mine had one fitted by Eastern Autos). Use the RS5F31V viscous box & LHS inner CV out of a GA16DE powered N15 (or N14) Pulsar. Clutch pedal, gear shift & mounts can come from a 1L K11. CVT half shafts & CV's match the 31 box. GA engine has the same bell housing pattern as CG"

so, if I find some micra CVT drive shafts, change my CV's, I can run a 31V gearbox? (with changes to speedo connection if N15) any changes to the mounts? V. interesting Turbo mods....

In NZ most K11 are 1L CG10DE & there are far more autos than manual.
So to do the manual conversion, it'd be much easier to find 1L parts & make any modifications necessary.

In Australia you've got plenty of manual 1.3L CG13DE.

The K11 that's had the RS5F31V swap above belongs to EVLGTI

Hehe, no we don't

yeah but, if one wants to run a 31v box one needs what drive shafts, will the CVT driveshafts a fit?

 

[CMF_nz_aj]

From all I've been told & seen, the CVT shafts with 31V passenger side inner CV.
There was a thread on here a while ago that discussed this, there were some photos of the various shafts which may have been from Taiwan or Japan.

I think I went back far enough and there doesn't seem to be conclusive about the shafts.... the splines are different apparently?
