Has anyone put a fine spline 69-70 Alpine GT transmission in their Series I-V Alpine? Can I keep my pressure plate and just use a fine spline clutch disc? Are the gear ratios the same? Thank you.

HI Tom,

one difference which will cause you a problem is that the input shaft is
longer which sets the gearbox further back. That should put your
gearshift somewhere around the ash tray.

You can't change the input shaft with an earlier coarse spline as they
to are different. You may be able to fit a very late Alpine series 5
fine spline input shaft but I have never tried it.

The pressure plate should be the same, as you already know, the friction
plate needs to match the splines.

regards


Jeff
