Things u need

XF T5 bellhousing + throwout fork etc.

T5 from a XF --> EL (AU's are 100mm further back than the XF-EL's)

prob get a Flywheel from the same XF u get the Bellhousing from.. and keep the bolts.. theyre different length to the Auto Flexplate ones

XF T5 clutch cable.

What To Do

Cut a hole in the floor of the car as the T5 sits 100mm further back than normal... dummy fit the box and mark where to cut..

might have to drill the rear 2 holes a bit larger on the auto gearbox crosmember. and possibly shave the front a bit

Auto tailshaft will fit in the back no worries.

unbolt the electronic speedo from the T5 and plug the corty speedo cable in it.. that fits no worries..

connect up the plugs for reverse lights n neutral safety switch etc.

drive away..
im doing this conversion to a TD prob this sunday..

heres some photos.
