Hey fellas, the conversion is pretty easy to do yourself provided you're pretty handy with tools.

I converted my NA about a year ago, but had a learner Tbone my car a couple of months back, so I have a 5speed conversion sitting in the shed.. It's sold pending payment, but I haven't heard back from the buyer in weeks.. I'm chasing $3500 atleast but it is absolutely complete. First in with cash wins..

The hardest part when I converted it was getting ford to find a fuel map to suit my car. My car was a 2 letter ecu, but the conversion came with a 3 letter ecu. Fortunately for the next buyer, the ecu still has the code for the 3 letter map on the side, and the 2 letter map encoded. (Cost me $350 for them to search thru the thousands of fuel maps BA-BFII)

It's far more fun doing the install yourself, but if you're not confident, I rcommend spending the extra.

Just make sure you have the pressure plate pre compressed otherwise you'll have no clutch, and get a clutch alignment tool, near enough isn't good enough..

I hope this helps,

$3.5k for a T5 conversion??

I just got rid of a T56 conversion with bugger all kms & a MW short shifter kit for $3k

Hey mate, sounds like someone got a good deal, I know plenty of people willing to pay more like 5K for a T56, and it's easily worth it.. It cost me about 3K for the conversion from FTG, it's done about 30,000km so its barely broken in.. It cost a bit for Ford to find the fuel maps to suit the ECU also.. $500 odd.. I'd rather keep it than sell it for less than $3500.. But it does have EVERYTHING with it, not just most things..

Its a pitty you weren't selling your T56 a year ago, would've been nice in my car..

I was interested in a 5 Spd too but after reading all the comments on this and other ideas I had Im just going to be happy with what I got, damn I miss my XB so agricultural compared to these BA things.
