Hi, I'm a new US owner of a elan coupe 1967 that is having a new rebuilt engine installed and it would be a good time to add a 5 speed. I just sold a triumph spitfire that I installed a 5 speed conversion kit. That really improved the drive. Does anyone know who has or offers a 5 speed kit in the US?? Thanks Sarto

Hi Sarto

I unfortunately don't know of any outlets offering 5 sp conversions in the USA- but I'm sure there are some.

If you want an off-the-shelf kit try Alan Voights in GB- they've just put theirs on the market. If you are competent mechanically you can actually modify the Type 9 box yourself- takes time but it's pretty straightforward. If you want details of how it's done get back to me.

Good luck

John

John, I found the other posting for the 5 speed info, just had to look a little futher. My email is [email protected] and I would like to know how to self install a 5 speed. And thanks for your help!! sarto
