What type of shift kit are you using? Definately take it back mate, because there is obviously a fault there somewhere.

i don't have one of those electronic shift kits in my car. i just got the valve body opened up to increase the hydrualic side of the shift.

hi all,

well i'm seriously thinking about going to manual. i gave Mal Wood a ring today and he quoted me $2500 for a rebuilt T5 with everything i need to do it (all new stuff), $750 for them to do it all and an extra $1000 on top of that if i go a T5Z. also he has a 10 1/2'' flywheel out of a BA XR6T that he thinks will be awsome with it and a upgraded clutch/plate for another $300 on top. so now i need to know:

1. anyone near toowoomba/brissy know how to install it all?
2. do i need a manual computer? if so do i have to go 1 out of a EBII or ED to match my car?
3. does the loom need to be modified?
4. do i need a manual ecu if i get a haltech or somthing similar?
5. anyone have a link to a website to work out rpm at certain speeds with different ratios tyre sizes.
6. is there any difference in the tail shaft?
7. anyone recommend a clutch?

well i'm off searching this forum to find out more about it.

thanks

an AU xr8 clutch seems to be the go with the BA flywheel.

1. dont kno
2. yeah why not, its easier. if ur car is an eb2 u will need an eb2/ed one because of smartlock
3. the loom that comes with the box should plug into the existing one.
4. same as 2
5. no sorry
6. mine went straight in
7. get one with a 1tonne clamping pressure. brass button is good enough

tell me the ratios of your gearbox and the diff ratio you have now, and the ratios you want


Also, tell me the speed and rpm you get with your ratio now.

Ill work it out for you.

hi all,

well i've had enough of a break from my car so i'm ready to get back into it. so at the moment i'm at tafe and still got another 5 weeks to go, but as soon as i'm finished their i'm taking a week's holiday and getting a few things done.

T5 conversion
sepentine belt
A/C back in ready to be tested and fixed
comp pace maker extractors and mandrel bent 2 1/2 mercury system

so it should be a good week. at the moment i'm chasing up things i need (anyone got an XH belt tensioner they wanna get rid of). if anyone has any thoughts on the flywheel/clutch combo let me know, but by the sounds of things the ba flywheel with the xr8 clutch seems to be good.
