Need some help / clarification with KA transmission mount

[100dollarZ]

Hey All,

*disclaimer* I did search :0 just didnt find any CONCRETE info about the mount except "it has to be modified" and things like that..

 

I got my KA / L series gearbox all ready to go in the car. I used my original 76 4 speed bellhousing and I will add to the knowledge base that:

 

-I had to ream out ALL 3 shift rod holes, The 1-2 to 16mm and the other 2 I just cleaned up, took off maybe .4mm because they would hang up.

 

-I had to mill down the inside of the bellhousing

 

-I did not have to modify the front bearing cover, shift rods have proper throw clearance (I noted a member had to do this)

 

Heres my completed tranny (have to clean it up before it goes in, but thats a 60 dollar megan racing V1 short throw on it, it really feels nice for the price)

 

Ok, So I think that I am going to modify my mount like Nigel's mount. I hope he doesnt get mad if I use this picture to show you how he did it

 

and then use the L series trans mount on the KA tranny like so?

 

Thanks all !
