Hey guys
Ive asked the question to a few people but havnt been able to get a complete answer. Could someone tell me EVERYTHING I need to do a automatic to manual conversion in a ba falcon. Heres the list ive got, if u could add, subtract or swap any info that is wrong would be muchly appreciated I would need to get: manual gearbox, clutch kit, Flywheel, Clutch pedal and carrier, Hydraulics and lines, Gearstick and console insert, crossmember and mount, Tailshaft anything else or cheaper ways to do things cheers |

No cheap way around it mate quiet a bit of work also u will have problems with ecu unsure what will happened there and most likley have to remove the dash to get the pedal box.
Why do u want to change personally id go for a 6 speed auto

6 speed auto is 2 expensive, same as 6 speed auto. Reason im wanting to change is my auto box has just blown itself and I can get a manual box cheap, just trying to work out other stuff that I need
As far as ecu goes, not in the ba's auto to manual. With auto to manual all you need to do is limp it to the local ford and have them reflash it to manual instead of auto. Manual to auto is a lot more difficult of a job as far as looms, ecu etc |

not sure what it was like 3 years ago sorry mate, I know now though that all they need is a xcal1 flash tuner with a stock manual tune on it. Apparently some ford dealers do it but its like pulling teeth getting them to

Apparently some ford dealers do it but its like pulling teeth getting them to We had a mate at Ford do it, who couldn't manage to get a manual tune to work on the Auto PCM. That was with a contact there....
