is 5 speed gearbox used in EA through ED (BW-T50D). The version I used was from 6 cylinder ED falcon. The input shaft is the same size as xf single rail. It is basically a single rail 4 speed with a 5th overdrive added. It was an available option in t Edited by user Wednesday, 31 August 2005 7:43:11 PM(UTC)

I am thinking of a similar conversion for my XB coupe, to replace the existing single rail. The info in this thread was really useful for me too but I have a couple of questions still:

2. Will a T5

I think that you have 2 options with the bellhousing if you use an XF-EL T5. The first is to buy a V8 T5 bell housing either from Ford, Dellow or CRS & the second is to buy a V8 toploader/single rail bellhousing and a sandwich plate that bolts the T5 to t |
