FTO AUSTRALIA

need a gear box for my fto 5 speed maunal to suit the 6a12 mivec perfer in SA

all good guys i managed to find out, mods u can delete this thread now

Where did you find one & for how much?

Exclusive Jap parts and imports its in holden hill

paid 795 for it

city dismanterlers also have some in stock along with magna wreck

just be warned though not sure if any of u know but there is 2 different types of manual gear boxes that are in the FTOs

F5M421 and the F5M422 now both have the same gear ratios but the 21 has thiner CV shafts and cant handle too much power but as for the 22 it has thinker shafts and able to take a lot more of a pounding the 22 is also found in the 92 to 95 gallant that has the 6a12

now when u do this conversion to a stronger gear box u will need the matching cv shafts to match as the spline that goes into the box on the 21 is 26mm in diameter as where the 22 is 29mm, im trying to chase down the passenger side CV shaft now as i found a drivers side so if anyone has a CV shaft from a F5M422 for the passenger side contact me asap need to get my car back on the road or if u know where i can get one that would be great too

if its in SA even better

i dont get online much so probably best to call me 0426 237 201, just be warn i don't answer private numbers my phone auto rejects them

Good info!!!

glad ya like it, ill have more tomorrow morning, i believe ive found the shaft i need now, have just dropped it off to my mechanic and ill see how it all goes and ill get back to yas

ill do a full topic on what i have found out, anywhere in particular ud like to me to put it on the forum as i know there is a few help and mods sections
