Samurai 1.3 gearbox into an sj410

Hi newbie here just after some advice? Got myself an sj410 first registered 10/04/1985 and I want to put a 5 speed gearbox into it instead of its 4 speed gearbox I was told this was possible very easily so I bought myself a 5 speed samurai 1.3 gearbox.I know I will need a 1.3 samurai clutch as the splined shaft is wider etc but I finally took the 4 speed box out and looked at the faces of each to see if the bolt holes were the same? I think they look different to me so was wandering what others thought? Is it even possible to fit? Here is a pic of both the 5 speed on the left and 4 speed to the right! The lugs on the 5 speed were cut off by the person I bought the box off so that's another job in itself! Any advice appreciated! Cheers

You can get a 5sp 410 box. Thats the easiest swap.

I have never heard of anybody putting a samurai 1.3 gearbox to a 410

I have a 5 speed box on my 410 there ain't that many 5 speed 410 gear boxes around
I got mine for 5 quid but cost me 7 quid to get it

My 410 5 speed box bolted straight in piece of cake took 30 mins but then noticed it was in gear and the gear leave wasn't in yet so that took a while to sort out

Havnt tested it yet lol

It's only been in 1st 2nd and 3 rd gear so far and abit of 4 gear as its not on the road yet

Some say its no difference on 4th gear and 5th gear

Looks like I shouldn't believe everything I'm told then.Well if anyone on here has one in good condition all works fine etc I'd be happy to buy a 5 speed 410 gearbox or do a swap for the sammy box???

Yes you need the 410 5 speed box

May require some modifying of the mounting bracket on the rear as well depending on what you have now

My first SJ was a 410 with a 5 speed box...5th gear was more like an overdrive function really, it just lowered the revs at top speed.

Not that top speed was very much...

I believe you can use the gears out of the 1.3 5 speed box, and put them in the 1.0 4 speed case to get a 1.0 5 speed box? just wait for some others to reply, they'll know more about this if I'm right
