Title: WTB: 5 speed Getrag transaxle and shifter Post by: GSXRBOBBY on April 10, 2004, 01:47:51 pm I am doing a Northstar swap soon and I am going to need to trade my 4 speed out for a 5 speed. Looking to buy a 5 speed Getrag but it has to be the Getrag, the Isuzu will not work due to the location of the shifters. If you have one that you would sell E-mail me at thespeedshop@sbcglobal.net

Title: Re: WTB: 5 speed Getrag transaxle and shifter Post by: GSXRBOBBY on May 14, 2004, 11:38:44 pm I found a Getrag and bought it but it doesn't have anything with it other than the throw out bearing. From another place I bought the shifter and the cables but it cost me $200 for that. And I still need the mounts and brackets, can anyone help there, other than Rodney Dickman, looking to save a few bucks if I can, even though he sells good replacement parts.

If it's not you will need many brackets to convert to rear engine shift; 1. slave cylinder / shifter bracket 2. select shifter bracket 3. cast iron fork lever 4. Rear engine (or FWD) conversion kit including 3 small brackets 5. Front transmission bracket 6. Rear transmission bracket It adds up to a lot. There isn't much of a choice of where to go because Rodney is really the only one that offers the kit that I know of and would trust. I could make a kit but then you are talking about waiting a long time for me to have time to design the kit. I don't really have the time for it. I see that you had a 4 speed transmission in the car already. Can you use those transmission mount's? I haven't looked into it but the cases are similar. Aaron .
