Want to convert your classic (or new age) to a 6 speed box, I have all you need (apart for the mechanical expertise, obviously)?

Apparently the JDM ratios are the ones to have!

Due to couriers losing it, me buying another, and couriers finding it again (2 weeks later) I have surplus to my requirements:

JDM 6 speed manual box (not surectrac)
6 speed propshaft
6 speed gear linkage
3.9 rear diff

I have been quoted £2500 + VAT for the gearbox (from a well known breakers) and £1800 + VAT from another well known source, and the 3.9 diff was over £200.

Sensible offers please for all of the above (in excess of £1850). I do not want to split the above "kit". Would be preferable to be collected (from Bucks) as it is quite heavy. Parcel2go charged me £55 + VAT for a pallet delivery which is quite reasonable, but then they did lose it for a few weeks.

I also have available:
6 speed starter motor
6 speed clutch and flywheel SOLD
6 speed front driveshafts

Again sensible offers please

I spent weeks looking for one of these.

How much for the clutch and flywheel ?

Mark A

is this the box that chris had for sale{bats wrx}

Mark A, make me a sensible offer ;)Simbo, yes it was!

I don't have a clue ? £100

Mark A, I was expecting a bit more than that :) The release bearing I think is best part of £100, the flywheel is about £500, and the cover and plate about £350 I think. I know they are not brand new but.... The clutch must be able to handle a fair amount of power if they fit it with the 6 speed box

Update. We used the release bearing fitting the 6 speed in my box, though I have the one from the 5 speed, don't know if they are the same, I would guess they are.

The 3.9 diff turns (pun intended) out to be a 3.54 unit so will be going back to the breakers tomorrow. I will try and source another 3.9 diff though! I found one so maybe can find another.

Out of interest what clutch are you using ?

BTTT

Mark

I have a 3.9 diff available if anyones interested.

MarkA I'm using the AP clutch I had fitted to my old 5 speed box. It was in reasonable nick, and is balanced to my lightened flywheel, so didn't seem much point in swapping it. Make me an offer around £250 and clucth and flywheel can be yours.

Catalunya, yes I would be interested, how much? Is it an LSD?

whats it out of m8 how much and were are you

Trev,

Right, I've got another 3.9 diff, so "kit" status is back on.

This is all you need to convert your 5 speed.

What is the top speed with this gearbox and a 7K rev limit?

Don't know is the honest answer. Quite high I would have thought as the final drive is 3.9, but depends on what the ratio of sixth is. Haven't driven mine yet to know what speed per 1000rpm I will get. I'll post a question in drivetrain, someone will know.

Quick search found this:

100mph is around 4050rpm on the JDM 6th.

So about 175 at 7000rpm

Nope its about 160 top speed at 7000rpm with 3.9 diffs

I bow to your greater knowledge :). As I said I haven't driven mine yet :(

Tested my JDm too many times :D

bet it wont go round corners any better :) :) LOL ok i really need to come see you now ;)

Sorry yer i know total muppet just coudnt resist

Nothing new there then! :)
