SEARCH FOR TRANNY

The search for G15M-R manual tranny and parts needed to convert the auto tranny has begun even before I bought this car J.

Ford Lynx RS only comes with Automatic Transmission in Malaysia.

A used tranny from a Mazda 626 was found in the local auto part recycler.

SHIFT MECHANISM

Shift mechanism from Protégé 1 Generation was used with minor modifications.

I also installed a new leather shift boot.

LOW COST SHORT SHIFTER

It looks ugly, but it works!  Cost me not more than US$2 (for 2 bushings and welding)

I used 14mm bolt to extend it 1.5”.

DRIVESHAFTS MODIFICATIONS

The driveshafts were modified to fit the manual tranny. Luckily the tranny that I bought came with:-

1. Joint Shaft
2. Right Tripod Assembly
3. Left Tripod Assembly

Modification made to install the driveshafts to the manual tranny are as follows:-

1. Joint Shaft

  Joint shaft from the Auto Tranny was replaced by the joint shaft from G15M-R tranny. It was a perfect fit

2. Right Driveshaft

  Right driveshaft from the Auto Tranny was installed to the G15M-R joint shaft. Guess what, it fits!

  The tripod assy from the Auto tranny is a bit small compared to G15M-R’s.  I’m currently having the shaft made, and will be ready next week

3. Left Driveshaft

  Left Driveshaft from the Auto Tranny did not fit. Damn!

  Had to make an Hybrid shaft to accept the stock CV joint and the G15M-R tripod assy.

This is the CAD drawing I made for the machine shop.
