5 Speed Auto

[linedup33]

hey all i went to get a shift kit fitted in my r33, and i found out that i have a 5 speed auto and that there is no shift kit for this.

just wondering has anyone got any info at all about these? and also is there anyway to beef them up?

thanks heaps in advance.

oh you mean the 4-speed auto

standard is 4-speed with OD - whoops i mean't 4 speed in this changed it now

not sure why the shift kit won't fit in it though? as they are the same model number? and have mostly the same parts?

what number is on the box itself?

the dude at the trans shop told me its a 5 speed, its r4 sumfing..the 4 speed autos are r3 but this a r4 5 speed

wierd, R4's are the 4speed, that's that the 4 stands for

Jatco RE4R01A which is standard in most skylines, are you sure you haven't got that?

Which shop are you talking about?

Might be good to talk to MV Automatics or Knox Automatics, they'd know what fits your box.

I think they use a manual valve body upgrade from a Nissan Patrol in their kits with some welsh plugs to block off some of the holes

If you have the 5-speed it's be:

Jatco JR507E transmission

which is what come in Cimas, Presidents and a few other V8s and things and possibly some skylines, if you've got the 5 on your box number, then maybe someone put int a v8 box, changed the bellhousing, tailshaft and a few other things to get a longer drive ratio, it's a tad strange though

RE4R01A - 4 Speed

RE5R01A (or JR502E) - 5 Speed

Either way I know MV Automatics' have done shift kits for 5-speeds (eg. Zoom/ HPI's project 11sec 4-door) so, Im sure other competent trans specialists are able to do it.

There was a 5 speed fitted to some skyline models - check out some past issues of Zoom mag in their R33 4 door project car. They did some upgrades to the box as well if I remember rightly.
