Not many F8B Altos came out 5 speed, in fact all 800cc models in New Zealand were 4 speed. I'm not sure if anything was available in Australia or even ex Japan as they're getting old. There are Alto clones made in India as Mauritis(?) and also Daewoo Ticos that were based on the Altos followed by the Daewoo Matiz which had a F8C injected engine 5 speed. Problems with the gearboxes from these later cars is that they may not bolt straight up to the Alto engine, they are cable gear change and have different size shafts on the CV axles. As the top gear on the Alto 4 speed is already an overdrive (0.9 to 1), I just compensated by fitting larger tyres (155/80x12s instead of 145/70x12s) to my CB91/SB308 Alto that I'm converting from automatic, I've dismantled several cars for donor parts and I've got plently of spares, Matthew :o).
What else can I help you with?
Where is the speed sensor on the engine?
In the gearbox
State the three shafts in a gearbox fitted to a front engine rear wheel drive vehicle. State the function of each shaft.?
In a gearbox fitted to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the three shafts are the input shaft, output shaft, and countershaft. The input shaft transmits power from the engine to the gearbox, enabling the transfer of engine torque. The countershaft, which is connected to the gears, facilitates the gear changes and allows for varying torque and speed outputs. Finally, the output shaft delivers the power from the gearbox to the rear wheels, driving the vehicle forward.
Does a vehicle engine have a constant speed?
No, that is why there is a gearbox
What is 750cc equal to in mph?
The cubic capacity of an engine and the speed of the vehicle are different things. A boat fitted with an engine would not attain the same speed as a motorcycle fitted with a similar engine.
What is 110cc equal to in mph?
The cubic capacity of an engine and the speed of the vehicle are different things. A boat fitted with an engine would not attain the same speed as a motorcycle fitted with a similar engine.
Where is Vauxhall Astra Speed Sensor?
I am fairly sure that the Astra G (Mk 4) models withoutABS have the speed sensor in the gearbox, and the ABS models take the road speed from the left-hand front wheel hub. Unfortunately, the gearboxes fitted to ABS models have the speed sensor hole plugged, so this is something to consider if replacing the gearbox.
What is the function of a gearbox?
To hold the geartrain and the gearbox oil and provide a disconnection between the engine and the rest of the transmission components. To allow the engine to run at optimal speed through varying load and road conditions.
What is the correct name for gearbox?
The correct name for a gearbox is a transmission. It is a mechanical component that transfers power from the engine to the wheels by adjusting the speed and torque based on driving conditions.
Is the racing gearbox in a 1275cc mini a 4 or 5 speed?
na, the 1275 engine came out with the 4 speed gearbox, most people having the 4 synchro version, most racers change it to straight cut drop gears for strength tho. for a 5 speed gearbox in Australia your looking around $12,000
Will an skyline r33 gearbox fit on R34 engine?
The gearbox will physically fit, you need to change the clutch to a push type clutch however. If we are talking 5 speed gearboxes.
Does the 01 jaguar s type 3.0 have the same transmission as the Lincoln ls?
My understanding is, that they share the floor and many suspension components. The engines might be the same or similar (I don't know; but I'm told the 3.0 litre V6 is a hotted-up Duratech engine from a Mondeo), but I do know that the Ford did not get the German ZF 6 speed gearbox fitted to the last S-Types. I understand that the US Ford LS had a Ford built 6 speed gearbox (as fitted to Aussie Ford Falcon and Territory) that is similar to the ZF and like the ZF, requires special ATF because of the internal machinations of the clutch packs. Use any other ATF and you will kill the gearbox on the spot!
Why is a gearbox fitted to a vehicle?
A car engine has a limited range of revolutions that it can achieve. In normal operation this is from around 800 revolutions per minute to 7,000 revolutions per minute. Any higher than this and the engine would suffer damage. So one reason for using a gearbox is to allow the engine to continue transferring power to the wheels over all speeds. Secondly consider this: If the engine were set to make the car move at 70 MPH then the amount of torque required to make the car move from a standstill would be greater than the amount of power the car could produce to move the car forward. Moving from a standing start would stall the engine. So its true to say that the gearbox sacrifices speed for torque. To do this, the gearbox changes the ratio of the engine speed and the wheels. Starting in a low gear the engine spins more revolutions to get one spin of the wheels. In a high gear the ratio of the engine revs to the wheel revs in closer to or above unity. Cars can have fitted either a manually selected gear box, a semiautomatic or fully automatic gearbox. In a manual select car the ratio is selected via a gear stick and the selections is by the driver. In a semi-select car the clutch is automatic but the gear selection is manual. In a fully automatic the clutch and the gearbox selection is either by a mechanical system or in the case of newer cars via a small computer.
