There are a couple of doco's available explaining the process, but I thought I would write one with pictures to make it that little bit easier. If there are any amendments that need to be made, let me know and I'll fix them up. Anyways, hope this helps a few people out. Cheers, Dave. hi there,i want to do this to a eb 302 v8 1993 model.any advice would be much appreciated.can i use a six cylinder box? whats compatible? thanks,darren. you can use the 6 cyl box, but you need a v8 bell housing and input shaft changed...

Nice to see more ppl converting to the T5. I still love my EB Ghia with the T5 in it. So much more fun to drive than with an auto.
Cheers ToranaGuy

what i did was i went to the wreckers and got the short ef auto loom they charged me $5....
just follow the wires on the ef loom and solder ur wires in to the corresponding wires... im pretty sure they are *solid yellow* with *black with whites stripe* whenever in the doco it says purple it means pink but anyways its easier just to buy the loom and follow it worked a treat 4 me Hope it helps, Alex |

Just after a bit of info on the EL Futura wiring info. Mine has the big single red plug like an AU and i cant find any wires in the right colors to chop and change it. I got the donor box from an XH ute so i couldnt just take the whole loom and computer which would have been much easier but ill work with what i have so long as i can get a little help.
Attachment: Complete Loom.jpg Thats the loom i have from my engine. Attachment: Auto Box Wiring..jpg Thats the part im having some issues with. I can list what colors i have on my big round plug if that would help any. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

he black plug is for starter inhibitor
is there any violet wires in this plug?? as from memory the 2 violet wires are the trans temp wires, this is where the 1.2 k resister goes.. |

I have a pair of green, one of which has a violet stripe and a pair of pink. Could the pink be the ones?

Hey guys,
Quick question re the "must be in neutral to start" wiring, how do I bypass that? Just bridge the two out? Cheers, Nic |
