gsr lancer manual to auto conversion

[4piknup]

Fwd and awd boxes are dofferent jack awd boxes sit higher up and the mounts are different shapes in the bolt pattern

then why did ted get a magna mount to bolt on?
Sure the boxes are different, but i thought (and ted says) that fwd bits fit.

from what i gather, ted used a gsr body mount, a gsr gearbox mount, and cut and shut a magna gearbox mount to suit.

I would look at tn-tp magna. Id still look at a proton auto as well, they are afaik a similar box to the magna.

He said he cut and shut a magna one to the original boxes mounting plate

aah yes, you may be correct. My bad.

 

[ted]

I will take a pic later and post it i used the original body mount plate and cut and shut a TS magna mount...they are wider than the fwd lancer box mount, as Jack said the boxes are bloody heavy!!

 

[4piknup]

The magna mount bolted on?

 

[ted]

The "U" Bracket that bolts to the box is magna, the eyelet/rubber section of the mount is also magna but i have cut off the mount plate and welded a lancer one on to suit
the bolt hole pattern through the proton body rail.

A great idea IF you want to set the rake on the drivetrain the auto boss recommended it so set your roll stoppers up first then tack up and weld the box mount

 

[4piknup]

I would have thought you would set it from a known point.
So in this case, the timing side mount is done. Level the car, left to right. Level the engine/box and set the gearbox mount. Then set the rollstops so the transfer points at the centre bearing.


i believe thats a beer K. Magna fwd mount bolts to awd box. Yea!
Thats prolly makes it 5 i owe you instead of 6....

What north south cross member is needed and also the bushes to suit the cross memeber and brackets?

 

[4piknup]

Afaik the rvr n/s gbox mounts bolt to the gsr roll stops on gsr n/s bar.
