Hi,

I've been looking for a +2 S-130/4 for ages now, to replace my lamented previous example, but I just can't seem to find one that measures up to how I want, (I'm a bit picky )

Plenty of 5 speeds around though, so I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinions on buying a 5 speed and converting it.

Specifically, is it a cost effective solution. I assume the bits I will need are, Bell housing, box (obviously) mounting plate and prop shaft and that these will not be too expensive but, (this is the reason I say cost effective,) how much should I expect this work to cost at a specialist? (Probably Paul Matty)

I could probably do it myself but time and garage space may be prohibitive, hence the question.

Cheers

You could probably get a swap from someone who wants to exchange their four speeder for a five speeder,all you need then is the labour

P.S. i may be willing??

You could sell your complete 5 speed set up & buy a 4 speed set up having money left over towards fitting the 4 speed setup. Whilst i would agree the change is better on the 4 speed if you have the 5 speed rebuilt (Sue millar does them at very reasonable cost assuming it is not wrecked)it is a lot nicer for A road & motorway work

Could be the start of acomplete new discussion group!

I'll get me coat!

Hi Robbie 693,

I've heard the four and five speed 'box gearlever locations are slightly different so you may also require a centre console from a 4-speeder.

Best wishes,
