4age RWD auto???

[mrshin]

Sorry, I should say why wouldn't a traumatic FIT - whether it WORKS is another matter!

[Grega]

shinny, were the autos traumatics or a jap spec auto?

[mrshin]

Traumatics... Listen to the racket they make!

Did these AE71 trimatics have a detachable bellhousing?

[allmtr]

Hmmm. I got the auto out of a Ae71 and it is a Aisin box not a trimatic. Forgot about the 6 Vs 8 bolt pattern tho so now I have to hunt down an Age flexplate

doing the same to my car got the auto out of a ae71 and it bolts straight up even the flexplate the only thing im hunting for now is a 8 bolt auto flywheel also the tail shafts are the same length as the five speed but the auto yok is alot bigger

FYI, on an auto, the flywheel is called a flexplate.

Depends if it was AMI or import AE7#. The sedans were made here, the others made offshore. Only local build copped the Trimatic / Borg Warner combo.

Hmmm. (Part II) The auto was out of a sedan...

[rollin]

if the flywheel is called a flexplate then what do you call the flexplate?

[MRMOPARMAN]

an "auto flywheel" is called the flexplate. the flywheel is what the clutch bolts onto on manual cars

[cambelt]

yes all A motors had the a40 not trimatics

[allmtr]

and I'm assuming the A40 will take no power

[Cuzzo]

Any standard 4AC auto box will take no power definelty not the power needed for a 10sec run. You will need a custom bellhousing and a different box however they will weigh heaps and the cost of setting this up will definetly blow you over your 5k budget.

I just bought an auto AE71 and the bloody thing sounds like its going to spit some gears every time it changes to second, i dont know why this is happaning. but untill i pull my finger out and drop the 5sp in is there anything i can do to stop it.

P.S. when i change to man, auto free to good home if it still works
