Auto Trans For Rb30

[crowsss]

I am planning on installing a rb30 motor in a van without the computer set up

I have an inlet and carby and a dizzy of a patrol so the engine doesn't need a computer

can anyone tell me what auto had vaccum controlled changing and an overdrive which didn't need the computer

to operate. And also advice on the strenght of these autos

even better does anyone have one for sale

thanks crowsss

As far as I'm aware all RB30 powered cars (ie R31 Skyline and VL commode) used computer controlled auto. Carb'd GQ Patrol also had 4-speed auto which is probably vac controlled, but I don't know enough about it to say whether it could be used for your app.

Another alternative is the 4-speed auto from a S2 R30 Skyline (mid '85 to 86). That auto is vac controlled and had a manually switched overdrive. It might be possible to swap the RB30 auto bellhousing for the L6 bell-housing as in most other aspects the trans are very similar.
