Im pretty sure they are the same box with different bellhousing. As you need the larger clutch when doing the swap.

i though some folk tried the a series auto belhouling onto the L series gear boxes... bit of mucking around but do able

anybody tryed swapping the selctor setup out of them then?
if not i got my self a good set of spare gears lol

pretty sure you cant ddgonzal or dman would probably be able to give more details but from memory you cant as somethings are different
and why do you want a normal pattern do you want to get rid of the 5 speed?? pm me if you do

just want to know, ive got an a series 63 dogleg 5 speed in my race coupe, and ive just picked up a 63 series normal pattern 5 speed out of a stanza with the l series front, and i just want to know can i swap the dogleg a series front bellhousing part onto the standard pattern 5 speed so that i have a standard pattern box in the end?
anybody done this?
cheers kurt
