If the speed signal can be taken from the ABS sensor then i'll just smash in the BA transmission as is and plug it in.
Once i get that done, i'll bring it back to you Barry to finish off, asuming you don't mind working on it again. |

Go back and read through the last eleventy-billion pages of this thread to see what i have been through and how much money i have spent  then come back and call me a nancy haha.
Nah, i'm one of the few people who like auto's plus i'm not a fan of the T5 anyway. If i had to go manual it wouldn't be anything less than a T56. At the moment, i just want to get the car running properly and back on the road. Maybe later i'll look at gearboxes, hydraulics, pedals, clutches, tailshafts, diffs etc etc, all the good stuff that comes to mind when doing a manual conversion. |

Come on man, the T5 is also a long way from being a s**t box as well.  Mine is just coming up on 150k kms and still shifting great. I don't think you have ever shifted a muncie, or a early ford single rail, or hell even a slightly warn 4spd in a Mighty Boy! Man, that's a s**t shift! How's about a crash box 3spd in a EJ holden?
I am disappointed to read about the drama with the auto, but i also know it will be nutted out & sorted in the near future, so i can't wait to read how it was done. Keep up the good work Fordman!
I wonder if a BA ute ECU could run a swapped BA I6 in a manual car like my EB? Just for future reference, if i have to swap in another bloody engine into my EB, i might as well consider going the full hog eh?
Cheers

The reason your T5 is still shifting sweet is exactly that, it has only 150,000km's on it. Knowing me i'll probably inherit a T5 from an XF which has been around the universe twice hahaha!
As far as i know a Black Oak ECU can be programmed to do anything, i might have to look into what can actually be done to them...
Ahh well, i know EXACKERY what needs to be done to get my car going, it's just the issue of money right now  |

| Pretty sure the BA Ute ECU uses the transducer in the gearbox for their speed sensor. |

ABS-less ute's use it. The rest get their speed reference from the ABS module.

For the factory ECU to function it would need tach input, vehicle speed, tps and the auto wiring complete.. i think that would have been a bit of an effort to achieve, as alot of that system is gone now. |

I bet there's a copy of "Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" instead of a melways in that XF! ROFL. I didn't think a XF T5 would fit behind a E series or newer I6? Input shaft lenght wise that is.
A T5 isn't that hard to rebuild to be back to shifting sweet again.  Clutch peddle & the peddle box are the biggest let downs in the E series i think. Not the T5 itself.
A black oak ecu? Never heard of them before. Sounds interesting. I'm playing with a MegaSquirt ECU myself atm for my Mighty boy.
FordMan - is your new BA ECU running the ABS in your mont?

ROFL, nah i was just saying that with the luck i have (not just with cars) i will get the s**t shagged out gearbox around haha. Lol @ Hitch Hikers!
As far as i knew 'Black Oak' was the nickname of the new (BA-FG) Ford ECU's which are produced by 'Visteon'.
Again, as far as i know the ABS is working, but there are heaps of questions i didn't ask because of all the excitement of getting my car back lol. I will have to find out, there's no ABS warning light showing, so i'm assuming everything is okay 
And Frank, that suggestion had come up at some time while chatting with my transmission mechanic, but it's just too hard to run the wiring and calibrating everything to work properly. If i bolt in this BA box, everything is guaranteed to run perfectly....*tongue in cheek* |
