Ford ba xr6 turbo 6 speed manual conversion

[Feel the Boost]

Hi guys just having abit of an issue trying to find some info I am new to the page.

I have recently purchased a t56 6 speed flywheel and tailshaft. I only have a 5 speed ecu and loom I have been told that I will have a reverse lock out switch issue? I would like to know if anyone has either wired it in and work also how did you do it? also did you need to change your ecu or can I just get a tune or can it run off the 5 speed ecu with no changes?

 

Thanks in advance

I did a 6 speed conversion on mine years ago.

You don't necessarily need a reverse lock out, but it is easier to get it into reverse with one.

From memory (I could be very wrong) from factory the 6 speed cars have the lockout wired to clutch switch. We wired my lockout up to the brake power so I have to have my brakes on to be able to select reverse. 

You won't need to change anything with the ecu.

Hope this helps.
