Hi guys,
As I've given up on the frustrating task of sourcing a v8 t5 I'm keeping the build auto. So to compromise for my laziness I'm looking to make it "tiptronic" Build is: (XHII Longreach ute conversion: AU220 V8 & AU AUTO (s2) Can anyone shed some light on ShiftKits Manual transmission controller? Apparently it makes BTR's become permanently "manualised" Is this like permanent tiptronic or something? Wouldn't I need a different shifter to suit (ba style)?

If you google the ba shifter into e series you will find it has been done before. Not sure on the electronic side of it though.

It would make the trans hold whatever gear is selected on the gate, whatever speed you are doing. Meaning you would have to start off in 1st and shift up through the gears yourself. As Bryden said, there has been a mod where you can adapt the ba shifter into older models as the btr is pretty much the same unit e to b series.

The wiring is the bit I was confused about. Not sure if it's as simple as buy that kit and custom mount a ba shifter then wam bam thank-you mam! or if there is additional wiring required.
I searched but couldn't find a step by step tech doc

Dellboy999 is the man you need to speak to. If you (politely) ask for his doco he'll send it to you.

Correct, except it will change up for you if you hit redline and will automatically go back to first to take off.

Oh, I thought it was locked regardless. I've never pushed an auto falcon hard, I've always had manuals.

While I'm on the topic, how are the au xr8 BTR's as opposed to earlier series?

they all got the same ratios,, there may be a slight difference in the pump and planetary gears but nothing to warrant going to a earlier box except for the luxury of a dip stick in eb to ef boxes..

Dellboy999 was an absolute champ, gave me heaps of info and put me on to the right person.
It's definitely going to be tiptronic now, very happy with the affordability. It will have a gear display as well which I aim to place in a gauge next to oil and volts.... Gotta fill that square ol xh dash with something round! Haha

The AU Box has valve body changes which inhibit application of the 1st gear clutch i think unless its manually selected. This is/was corrected in the Tickford ESS valve bodys.
Its minor, but means that AU Standard gearboxes cant be used for ESS - and also means they wont be as good for electronic control. Im told that you can use an E Series (EF EL) Valve body, but you may want to talk to someone who really knows these to make sure you get any enhancements you need I have an AU 220kw box in my E36 - and Im hoping that tickford did the goods on the box anyway Nigel |
