Hi, I was wondering if a transmission out of a 5 speed fb will fit into my 5 speed fc? I have an 85 gs with a good transmission and my fc's transmission is going out. Will it work, if it needs moddified, what will it take? I did a search, but was mostly FC into FB. Thanks in advance.

 

Starter, driveshaft, clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder and mounts are different, as well as the shifter location. Also electrical.

So it's not a bolt in by any means.

But if you swap the flywheel from the 12A (balance issues? I don't know the weight of it compared to the 2nd gen flywheel) and clutch, the transmission will bolt to the engine. The rest is up to you.

 

when i did it i had no problem bolting one up to my fc. the only thing is that it set up a inch or 2 in the shifter so i had to cut some platsic were the shift boot hold against . but then after a few week i just swapped the tail shaft off of my fc tranny and bolt it up to the fb and then ever thing bolted up and sat right . the only thing that suck after word is that your 5k in 5th the hole time and it sucks up your gas

 

How is the 5th gear in the FB? Does it grind when you shift into it?

 

...I was under the impression that the tailshafts of all the non-turbo trannys could be bolted up to one another...

 

i believe they can be . 5th never grinded for me . the tranny was great off the line but as far as top end goes its a lil on the sad side aleast for the fc .

 

no the one I have doesnt grind.
