As the title says.

Only replacing it 'cause I am doing a manual conversion. I've never driven the car with it in so can't guarantee anything. Money back if it doesn't work :)

Southern Sydney - If you want to organise freight to pick it up from my house, know yourself out. Otherwise pick up any evening.

Cheers,

Daewoo

I'll take it, pending the time to swing out there to pick it up! Wont be till June or July.

Probably won't be here that long...

I don't have any garageing... all work is done in the driveway, and I don't like the place looking like a wrecking yard... send me a PM about it if you like...

BTW - how freaking heavy are they... ditching that weight is a performance mod on it's own...

What year MR30 is this from? I'm after an 84/85 four speed auto and would gladly pick it up.

I've thought of another angle, even if this is a three speed it would be a good exchange unit to get shift mods done. I can't PM you (not enough posts), can you PM me?

Pete.

Peter - PM Sent.

It is a 4 speed i.e. has overdrive.

Darryl,

That sounds great. I'll be in the metro area on Saturday (live in the Blue Mountains), please PM me where and when. If Saturday's no good, any time to suit you.

Pete.

I realise this has already gone but have a general question...

Does anyone know if these 4 speed autos will bolt straight into an earlier series MR30 (to replace the 3 speed auto)?

Yes & no...

If you have the correct flex-plate, they will mate up to the engine no-problem.

BUT, the gearbox x-member is different - you'll need to remove the gussets in the transmission tunnel that provided mounting points for the 3-speed, and drill the floorpan to suit the bolt pattern of the 4-speed member. The correct shifter plate, tailshaft and console surround are also required. (Note that the spline on the extension housing for the tailshaft yoke is a different count to the 3N71B, and FSxx71x series manual boxes...)

Yes & no...

Thanks for the reply. More changes required than I first thought. Looks like all the way down the driveline (and maybe the diff too?).

It's probably more sensible for me to fit a 'younger' or reco 3sp auto trans.

Depends on what you can get from the donor car... other than cutting out the gusset, and drilling the floor, if you are stripping a car that had a 4 speed, you should just grab everything, and you will have everything you need... The thing I would be most concerned about is whether the ECU is the same...

Thanks for the info. Don't have a donor car unfortunately so...

I'm looking for a flex-plate, tailshaft, shifter plate and console surround for series 2 R30 4 speed auto. Does anyone know if any R31 items will fit?

(So far have located 4N71b auto trans, cross-member and VL driveshaft).

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
