I'm looking for a 5speed box to site behind an A14.

A mate is also looking for a A14 complete, running or not.

Let me know whats available around the brisbane area please

how bout a 4speed? there just as good

Purchasing a 4 speed would leave me with 2 4 speeds, and no closer to getting revs down at 90-100km/h after power is sent through a transfer case.

I forgot to put in original post :-

No time wasters please

i've got an running a14 in the ashgrove area
u can come around and have a look if u want. give me a ring on 33665681 (AH)

Awesome :)

Do you have any more info on it?? Basically what i'm looking for at this stage is

head type
is it standard or not?
price
how soon do you want to sell it :)


My mate lives in samford downs, so not too far away :)

Datpoweredlj80, PM me and i will give you my mob. ph. no.
I have a 5sp i'm selling.

When someone says a four speed they mean to make sure you consider diff ratio.
If you cant find one try a sunny wagon diff they are amazing at lowering revs... As Dodge has clarified.
For I was surprised when I drove a sunny wagon with 4 speed. It had long spaced gears and cruised beautifully with small rubber and a15 (3.7 ratio I think which is a relative big difference to 4.1 or 4.44)

D, yes i understand that.

Forgive me for not being more precise. I currently have the 4 speed, in a Suzuki LJ80 4x4. After drive has gone through 4th, then through the transfer case, THEN through 4.11+ gears, the lil motor will be screaming to get to 100km/h.

I want to go with the 5speed to drop the higher speed revs, even if its only by 500rpm, its still an improvement. If all else fails i'll make a longer tail shaft, and remove the transfer for highway driving.

The transfer case should be 1:1 in 2WD high. With 4:11 and considerably larger tires than a 1200 would ever see (even if they're stock) you should be good to go with what you've got. It sounds like you haven't tried it yet and I think you should give it a go before you lay down ~$700 on a 5 speed.

2332owner, thanks for ur advise, it has been well noted.

And you are absolutely correct in saying that the ratio is 1:1 in 2wd high. Thanks for the input.

You are also correct in saying that my current setup hasn't been tried... by me at least. The previous owner of the car recommended that a 5 speed be put in place of the 4 speed as the revs are not at a desireable level when highway cruizing. This person was also responsible for the A14 conversion, which is not an uncommon mod.

I apologise sincerely for being new to this forum and not understanding the background that other members are comming from. The information is apreciated, but unlike other forums the suggestions comming are sometimes not in relation to the question.

The A14 that the work is being performed on is the smallest engine that i've ever worked on, and the LJ is the smallest car i've ever worked on, yet its proving to be the hardest when scavenging for consistant information.

Once again, I apologise for not understanding the way this forum works, any more help/suggestions would be greatly apreciated, but please, in relation to my questions :)

Also no offence is meant by this post. I'm comming from a big six/V8 background, but am trying to stray to things that are more fun to play with and don't cost a fortune to run :P
