Yep - you will need to run the AU electrics, but everything else is pretty much the same. Just note that the AU auto has slightly different valves/solenoids etc, so you may find the older boxes not as smooth, but they will work as well as they did in the cars they came from. I have an NC (EB/D) transmission ready for mine when it goes.

As JC said! I've been told you just need to swap the AU electrics (plugs etc) and run the AU bellhousing.

Can you put the Forte/Futura transmission into an XR without losing the adaptashift? Or is that feature "on" the transmision itself, not ECU controlled?
