Hi everyone, I have a series 2 AU sedan thats dedicated lpg.
Im building it for getting into rally and looking for some information.
Its currently auto but I have a t5 out of an XF and the bellhousing from an EB, does anyone know if the stock ECU can be reprogrammed for a manual box? Also if the XF t5 spline will match the AU clutch plate? And if theres a tailshaft from another model I can use, finding it hard to get the XR6 tailshaft and not sure if it would even fit the XF t5.
And help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a AU bellhousing and steel manual tail shaft if interested. The E series bolt holes wont all line up properly, but plenty of people have used them. The Ecu can be reprogrammed or a J3 chip can be used

the XF box is shorter than the AU manual box ... so tailshaft may fit? [those with more experience can confirm/shoot me down]. the bellhousing will only miss out on [i think] the two lower bolts & plenty of people have done this. don't know re spline. the XF [& EA] box from what i have heard is not a really strong box, so keep that in mind when sticking the boot in also the shifter WON'T come up in the proper location due to the box rear extension being roughly two inches shorter than the AU box [ie shifter will be two inches closer to the dash]. as macrxr8 said - "The Ecu can be reprogrammed or a J3 chip can be used"

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
