FTO AUSTRALIA

hello everyone. My FTO GR has transmission problem. I have found a second hand transmission to replace it. However, it is a GPX transmission. Will it be able to fit in my GR car?

Thanks~

Yeah they're the same gearbox whether it be manual or auto. Main difference between a gr and gpx is the mivec head and the bigger brakes on the gpx.

manual gearboxes are not the same as auto gearboxes...

i'd hope so lol

LOL, yes of course. "gpx and gr gearboxes are the same in either manual or auto types." Thats what i meant anyways

Thanks guys~

I just want to double check it here before I buy it becuase the seller said it may be a difference. I know that I can always get some kind answer in this forum. Thank you again~~

i'm not sure about the manual but i do know that later models have a 5 spd auto nox, and earlier ones have a 4 spd.

My car is a 4spd auto box. I just wondering whether a 4 spd auto box from GPX will be able to fit in my GR car.
PS: same year transmission~

Yeah it will be sweet, and from what i have heard putting a 5spd in is just a straight swap as well, but if you did do that then you would also neeed to chang the cluster

And 5spd tip ECU...

Yeah definitly that, when you buy a box (second hand) do they throw them in or do you have to pay extra for that

That'd be extra I'd reckon. Might have to check CAPS for wiring loom differences too

Do you have that info? cause as soon as i can find a box i wanna do the swap

To 5spd tip or manual?

If its a manual, hell be up for a caning for past comments about tips vs manuals

yeah and i would deserve it...... No i want to do a 5spd tip conversion

I reckon you should open up a can of harden the f**k up & go get a stick box! Your 91kws will instantly become 101.

I could never go back to manual after driving my tip, i have to drive the missus car sometimes and it drives me crazy

hahahah, good call lol, yeah get a 5spd box especially the ones that f**k Up like mine, lol,interesting the mechanical engineer currently fixin my trans, said that from 96 onwards (facelift models) (5sp Tip) that the automatic was prone to certain issues, i think he more or less said they can be a little weak under stress, The fto box is apparently very similiar to a magna, slightly smaller. and my has gone in someway at 80000kms, so i would reccomend being careful, and im seriousyl considering a manual conversion, as i prefer manual. But when it comes to lazyiness nothin beats the TIp lol

Its all about how they are looked after if you drive the car like a race car and never service it everything will f&*K up on it.
