I have a plan but I dont know if its good or bad...Thought i'd turn to the experts...I am looking to buy a gearbox for my turbo'd car..... (old evlelf)....As it has a history of blowing them to bits...I have found many threads about T5 v8 gearboxes not fitting into the 6 motors ..... that the input shaft is different and such????? Havent found a thread where someone has gone into detail about why these gearboxes cant fit.
A mates dad purchased 50 AU XR8 T5's serveral years ago and has some left hidden under a blanket I tripped over.....Jumped for joy until I read a post about them not being able to fit... but to me they look identical, not that I had one side by side... anyway I could probably con him into selling me one cheap as chips...... I am desperate to know if anyone has actually made one of these gearbox's fit a 6 or know how to make these gearboxes fit the 6..... I have a 6cyl t5 but I would rather not put it behind a turbo'd motor as they seem to have a hard time surviving behind N/A motors. Brett. |

hmm I'll have to talk to him but they have been their for years and years so i'd say he's having trouble getting rid of them.... and he buys smashed cars and repairs them..... which doesnt really explain why his got so many gearboxes..... I'll ask him lol....

well i'd appreciate that! Fit the gearbox with a hybrid input shaft. Speak to mal wood they will point you in the right direction. he EB Falcon SS race cars used the v8 box and the JMM eb 6cyl does as well

iirc, the EB SS (ten built for production car racing) had modified V8 T5's behind the 4.0.
