how hard and how much would it cost and be to put an AU 4 speed or even a BA 4 or 5speed auto in an ED? Im chasing sumthin a bit storger and more reliable.

No 5 speed auto. Theres the 6 speed ZF in the BF's, but that'd be borderline impossible to put in an E series.
AU and BA 4 speeds are still the same BTR as in the E-Series, with some minor changes. Depending on how much power you're chasing, a shiftkit and big trans cooler on a fresh trans would be my first port of call.

but would the AU and BA 4 speeds be more developed and reliable than the E seris ones?

Not as much as you'd think
More done to the trans control then the actual transmission itself from what ive been led to believe. A rebuilt E-Series BTR with a shiftkit and trans cooler will easily handle anything an N/A 6 can chuck at it, IMO.

there's a few mobs who do performance rebuilds of the trannies these days., if your going to spend the time and effort and money on it, might aswell get it done properly...

I highly doubt a standard one! Again you'd have to get it built up to handle that. Also the T5's a common box, there not all built up the same... |

It depends on the condition of the box. And how much power are you looking at shooting for anyway? If the box is f**k then yeah, no point really. If it's still good, just get a trans service, full flush, and away you go. You NEED a big trans cooler though!!! Don't do anything without one, heat is what kills these things.
