couple more questions -
Does the EA-ED rubber boot fit? I mean the one that screws?? in to the transmission tunnel. If not are the EF/EL ones available from ford, or is there something you can modify to fit easily? And what about the interior trim? Thanks

made a good start on the conversion today
modded brake pedal to manual brake pedal size fitted mal wood pin and clutch pedal to car fitted new seal to extension housing of gearbox fitted new o-ring to speed sensor cleaned gearbox, bellhousing, brackets, cross member and sandwich plates ordered new centre console boot from ford had flywheel machined and purchased new clutch couple more specific questions as i've found conflicting information on the forums 1) will the EL auto tailshaft fit the EB (S1) gearbox 2) will the speedo be out? 3) will the EB (S1) clutch cable be the correct length? |

if the engine management system thinks the auto transmission is over temp it will put the fans on permanently high speed. which is a pain
if they work as per normal you did it right

thanks for the replies
samftr i'm aware of the resistor mod to get around that. all thats left to do is buy the resistors and some flywheel to clutch bolts as they are missing from the conversion

Flywheel bolts are no problem to get, shouldnt cost you more than 10 bucks from ford but they'll probably have to order them in. If you have at least one though, go to a nuts and bolts place. I got all 6 then and there for about 2 bucks

sorry i meant the pressure plate bolts
got the flywheel bolts no problem, but the std 5/16" ford bolts dont fit this flywheel. in the end got some metric ones made for nissans. odd but they fit fine. clutch place said they've never seen a ford need metric pressure plate bolts before. odd! |

finished the conversion. drives well, however unfortunately if you shift normally into 4th it grinds. if you shift a little slower its OK. i think its odd that the 4th gear synchros are worn more than the others. is there anything else that could cause this?

I don't know much about internals of transmissions, but crunching gears I was told usually means synchros. Maybe previous owner of the box kept missing 2nd and slammed it into 4th
 .

turns out i didnt have the clutch pedal adjusted right - i didnt put the spring on the pedal so it did measure correctly - until the spring went on! set it properly now but havent driven it yet. fingerst crossed!

Me and a friend just did a T5 conversion in his EF Futura. We bridged some wires to make the car start, so I guess thats just shorted out whatever tells the ecu its in neutral. But his car is idling waaay too high in neutral, or whenever the clutch is in, we're talkin between 1500 and 2600 RPM!!!! So obviously we've done it the dodgy way. Can anyone please point me in the right direction so we can fix this up? I've been trying to find details but not having much luck.
Cheers

Cheers its probably because your using the auto ecu with a manual.. the ecu will think its in drive bumping your idle up. if the ecu gets the wrong or no voltage from the gear position switch it will idle high as the ecu needs a specific voltage to reconise what gear its in.. or you need to find a manual ecu... |

just completed my manual conversion. there is a tech doc somewhere a good one wit pics an all.. u are ment to put a couple of resistors on the auto loom. but coz its easter weeked i couldn get any. i just joined the wires together an she started. but the thermos are goin flat out. gettin the resistors 2moro. then a manual ecu asap
