Dang that's a good bargain!

They are around these bargains....just not too often.

Well done on the purchase, a score indeed!

All up including the A14... $700.

...and please note that both the engine and gearbox have been freshly rebuilt.

How much did you get the 63A for??
They are a nice piece of kit...you will be happy with it for quite a number of years and no normally aspirated A series will go close to breaking it.

I've never heard of someone mention anything to do with the feel of the actual gear shift changing for the worst - I love the rifle-bolt action of the 4-speed... I hope I don't lose it when/if I put in the 5-speed.

i have installed one 56a 5 speed dogleg in my 120y and the differences are not in the 5th gear, i think the gengine gets almost the same rotation.

the dogleg gearbox is better in the lost of power between the gears , mostly between 2 to 3.

the bad points in this gearbox is the noise and the loose feeling of the gearnob.
i dont know if my language is clear.!!! sorry

A bit of an update - picked up my 5 speed and slightly worked a14 on Saturday - turns out that it's a 63A 5 speed that was rebuilt a few years ago but never used

Yes, thats a 60-series transmission. It will handle the torque of an A15 or A14.

For more details, see the Tech Section article 5-speed Overview.

a quick question about 5 speeds. i picked up 1 several months ago, i have no idea wat sorta 5speed it is, how do i tell apart from putting it in gear. is there any visible signs???, it has had a bracket mnade up so it can be bolted up, if that helps at all. also when i fit the 5speed, do i need 2 get it engineered???, its for NSW.


It should have it on the casting of the box something like 56A or 60A.
Theoretically you would need an engineers certificate, I think , but who is to know the difference.
