Can anyone conferm this ? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42571-t56-tailshaft-needed-for-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 11/02/08 03:12 PM Share Posted 11/02/08 03:12 PM Is the NA XR6 auto or manual? Also are both cars BA or BF?I know when we did my conversion from T5 to T56 the tailshaft didn't need replacing but the front yoke did. Mine is a BA and the box was bought new from Ford to fit a BA. Pretty sure the BA and Bf's have the same tailshaft anyway so provided your car was a manual to begin with you should be ok just replacing the yoke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42571-t56-tailshaft-needed-for-conversion/#findComment-633183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
