Im pretty sure the E'series shifter is located either further forward, or further back then the AU.

No. Gearbox is too short the AU box is longer

ed speedo cable
WT? Speedo Cable? The Speedo is electronic and interchangable from EA to AU

ed malwood pin
Yes. AFAIK it is the same pin and the clutch pedal bits are interchangeable from EA to AU

ed clutch in the box
Hmmm. It should.... Don't quote me.

clutch cable
Yes. AFAIK it is the same part no. from EA to AU

ed tail shaft
Hmm. I don't really know as I have seen pictures from EBII with AU and they stand nearly the same height but if I can recall the AU is a tad smaller or longer sorry mate can't remeber

This is cause the box is longer.

as above, au box is longer than e series, although i do believe someone fitted one, but they had to make a weird looking gear shifter. you wouldn't be able to get a short shifter for it. tail shaft from the ed would probably be too short to fit in an au, most people that do the conversion get their current shaft shortened and rebalanced. good luck

E-series gearbox will have the shifter closer to the centre console.

THe clutch cable will go as its the same cable from XF 5-speed on-wards, the XE 4-speeds had the clutch fork on the drivers side of the box.

well i wonder if anyone would swap an au manual box and tail shaft for a whole ed with 5spd set up.

you think a wrecker would go for that.

Sorry to hijack thread but just wanted to ask why the AU gear box is longer.

Is it because the AU runs a T5Z and the extension housing is longer ?

Regards, Craig,

i'm not entirely sure, but i have a feeling the au has a longer input shaft and longer bellhousing...

or it could be what you said with a longer extension housing... if it's the input shaft i guess you could get an au one and belt that in it...

Regards, Craig,

The base model, and early XR's run the standard T5, only the high-output V8's, ie 220kw's run the T5Z, as far as i recall. I can't remember the exact difference, but it has something to do with the extension housing as to why they are longer
