I am putting a BA motor into a XH ute.
I am using BTR93LE transmission, running off BA PCM.
I have compared all wiring & pins at the round connector on the side of the trans & everything is identical between XH - ba except wire colours are different (which means nothing)
I have compared wiring inside the transmissions and looking at both factory manuals it seems the same.
I have read that the BA ecm controls the solenoids differently and the internal wiring loom needs to be modified and/or replaced.
Can anyone please explain whats required??

Ive found my answer after contacting a local transmission rebuilder.
I should've just called them in the first place.
The short answer is no you can't use an EF-EL-AU BTR93 behind a BA.
Internal wiring, solenoids, valvebody is different.
So i am going to reflash my BA ecu as a manual and control the auto from the XH ecu.
Its a pity I would like to be able to play with the transmission shiftpoints etc with VCM suite but I can't justify spending the money on a used BA auto that is weaker.
Ive read that the earlier eb-ed tcm only needs a tps signal so I will find out if this is the case with the XH.

luke, the early TCM needs TPS and RPM, so you would need a tacho converter to use it with the BA engine. for all the messing around its probably cheaper and easier to just put a BA auto in it.
Either that or put a manual controller on it and run it full manual
