I did my trans change over a month ago now. Took a copy of this doco along with me just in case but had read it enough times to know it backwards:P It took me and dad 8 hrs to do mine including unloading tools and packing up. A lot of that was standing around dumbfounded as to what to do next. I know if i were to do it again in the same conditions i coule do it in 5 or 6 hrs. Hardest part was lifting the auto out in my opinion. Manual in was a breeze. Even 3 of us under it nearly managed to drop the old auto. Was a heavy bastard and the oil was very black

Will this conversion work on AU2? Using the respective parts of course...

i know i've probably overlooked it, but is this the same to an extent when converting the v8 auto to manual?? or is there anyone out there who may be able to help??

The mechanical side of the conversion should be the same out with old auto & in with new manual. Dash removal is the same if you need to swap peddle boxes ( if not using the mal wood clutch pin ). Wiring, well that depends...... does your V8 have a separate trans computer or not? My g/f had a chance to drive my EB with the 5spd in it the other w/e, and was rather impressed with it, to the point she is rather disappointed she will have to drive the ED with the auto in it for a while, mighty boy has either blown a head gaskit or cracked the head.  Not sure yet.
Cheers ToranaGuy

regarding removing the spigot bearing,
wet paper towel. or news paper. 
after the flywheel is off and you can just see the edge of the crank and the spigot bearing, wet a heap of paper towel and push it inside the bearing, compact it heaps until its bulging out of the edge, then use a punch the size of the hole and a hammer (good size bolt if you dont have a punch) and compress the paper in more, then keep putting in more paper and compressing. saw it done today in an EA! the idea is that compressing the paper through the bearing hole will force the bearing back out evenly over the whole surface due to displacement. id say thats cheaper and easier than sourcing the tool

now iv got my own question
firstly, will my LTD tailshaft fit straight into the EA/B gearbox? just wondering considering the EA boxes have different ratios to the EF boxes.. secondly.. with the resistor trick to the auto ecu, another guy at work has had idling issues, it sits at 1100 rpm. he's told me though that he tricked it into thinking its in drive rather than neutral so im assuming it thinks its under load and being countered by hte brakes so adjusts accordingly. but even tricking into neutral i would have thought it would idle higher anyway, due to a flywheel weighing at lot less than a torque convertor and therefore much easier to spin and slow down (hence the better throttle response in factory manuals) i hope i've made sense and thinking the right way

I would be very surprised if there is any changes in the shaft diameter & splines between falcon & ltd's. Only the length to suit the body.
As for the engine rev's. I thought the docu's say to trick the ecu to think neutral? Rev's are probably higher because it thinks it's got a load on it when it doesn't. Yes the throttle response of the manual is much crisper. Now i've gone manual, i don't think i could go back, except on a 1/4 mile car maybe.

yeh, i dont know why he tricked it into drive and im sure thats most of the reason its ideling high, but would the weight of the torque converter being more than the flwheel make the auto ecu want to rev a little higher to compensate?
