Hi all, i have got my self a HJ Kingswood looking to do a bit of work to it, i would like to put in a floor shift to replace the 3 speed column shift. i have been recommended to use a Supra 5 speed. i was just wondering if any one could let me know how to go about doing it, is it just a simple bolt in or is there more to it. if any one can hook me up with some info it would be greatly appreciated. email me at [email protected] cheers Luke Luke

HJ is a pretty straight forward conversion. CRS would be able to sell you everything you need including the box with the stick in the right place and the right yoke so that you shouldn't have to touch the tailshaft. Probably the only things you will need |
