If you have an EF/EL gearbox, they are a straight fit. AU gearboxes should fit, provided that you use the EF bellhousing (well, it works the oter way around. My dad has an EF1 auto in his AU)

I will have an ED Auto that will work coming out of my car very soon. Will even be full of oil (I hope!). It was rebuilt appx. 2 years ago and hasnt had an incredibly hard life. Its currently in an EF.

It does have an AU bellhousing on it at the moment, but changing the bellhousing over is the easy part.

is the fluid clean? if it is dirty and burnt it will slip a lot as well.

giving the tranny a service is a hell of a lot quicker than putting a new tranny in

^^^ its pretty bloody difficult actually. the electronics side of it will be the killer. physically fitting might not be too big a problem. i have heard murmurs about the trans tunnel being too small. not sure if thats right or not though.

no BAs had a factory 6 speed. the only one i know of was the FTG Tsuanmi wagon, but that had full BF looms
