Well I started the conversion today.. I intend to space it out over a few weekends and keep the car driveable at the same time.
Today i removed and fitted the pedal sets. Probably the biggest job is all done now. Have the clutch cable just cable tied in the engine bay atm while I am still driving the car around, but it is a upside down jammed into the foot well job to fit it to the clutch cable to the pedal so I thought I'd tackle that today. Next weekend is centre console swap and fit the gearbox so in all its probably a 5 hours job to convert it. I will bridge the auto ecu to drive the car to Ford to get the new XR manual ECU matched to the BCM.. The pedal set it quite a straight forward swap, just remove the actual clutch pedal lever from the spigot and fit it back on after you have the brake and the brackets in place. If anyone wants a step by step 'how to' I can do that for them ..

Hey RC, could you write out a step by step. Please.
Did you end up getting the Mal Wood Clutch Pin Adapter? Did you need a whole new centre console? I thought the gear stick should just go where the auto surround is. Right? How much is Ford stinging you for the XR ECU & Programming of it? Thanks a bunch!

i suggest while your at it to strengthen the firewall around the pedal box.... to prevent it from flexing and then cracking further on down the track.. just my 2c
just wait till you notice the difference in performance.. between the 2 trans.. |

[QUOTE=LG]Hey RC, could you write out a step by step. Please.

I was around there Saturday and Tibbo hopes it will be working next weekend. He is changing the centre console too, which the old one may be going in my ute.

Due to doing AUII_SE_Ute brakes on Saturday just passed and the Eseries chrissie party that night, nothing got done on the weekend
This weekend coming I hope to have it installed and fininshed I used a complete pedal box LG, it is not that hard to fit, well put it this way the dash doesnt have to come out  I have looked at the consoles and although I think the opening is the same the manual console has the gear stick boot folded and attached to the underside of the console.. I gave it a quick wiggle and it seems to be glued on. For that reason I am just going to swap the whole console and donate my old black one to Kenny.. The key to XR ECU will now be done at the workshop as the mechanic has just purchased the CarmenScan tool, so that saves some of the messing around.. I'll do alittle tutorial up with pictures on the weekend
