Hey guys i just purchased a manual conversion kit for my au im pretty sure its out of an EA it comes with:
-GEARBOX - BELL HOUSING - PEDDLE BOX - FLY WHEEL - CROSS MEMBERS - ALL BOLTS - SHIFTER - SANDWICH PLATE will all the parts fit straight in or are there some differences between the EA and AU? is there anything else i will need to do the swap other then the computer and is there a way i can use the auto computer? thanks, Josh |

Ea manual gear box is shorter than the au one which means the shifter sits too far forward

as above, if its an ea to el box it will be 2" shorter than the au t5 box and the shift will be too far forward..
the pedal box is different, the bellhousing will fit but 4 of the lower bolts wont line up.. the ea flywheel and cluch will fit but is a smaller clutch than the au, sound like a dead loss if its an ea t5 conversion.. what makes you think its from a ea?? |

The guy I bought it off has written on the add t5 conversion to suit ford ea-au I talked on the phone to him and he said he modified the pedal box to fit the Ef he had it in so it should fit the au as for the length Of the gearbox he didn't say anything but he assures me it will fit in my au I think he said it's out of a ea but seems reluctant to tell me exactly what model car it's from Im not sure if he even knows :-/ |

Looks that way at this stage I'm going to pick it up on Sunday so I guess I'll see then maybe he's rigged something up to fit it into the au is the only difference the 50mm difference in the shifters position or is there others? |

The Conversion comes with the tail shaft hmm sounds like it becoming more trouble then it's worth I may have a e series manual conversion for sale on here in a few days by the looks of this :-/ |

It also comes with the cross member the guy said he's got the au shifter for it and that he's had it in a au before so I guess I'll do some measurements and stuff and if everything looks ok I'll put it in or have a go at it anyway thanks for your help guys appreciate it.

you probably would be able to use the au auto cross member.( e series one is different)
you should be able to use the au auto tailshaft if its an ea box,(au auto is the same length as e series t5). the 2 main issues would be where the shift will end up and wether or not you are willing to use the ea bellhousing,( lower bolts wont line up) |

Again thanks for the advice appreciate it. |

the main issue with the box being shorter and shift being forward, instead of the gear shift coming through the centre of the console hole it would be pretty close to coming through the coin tray at the front of the consol..lol

Any ideas anyone?? |
