It shouldn't be more than a 6 hour job from start to cracking a cold one....

Slot in the XR8 gearbox yoke, and fit the MkII cross member (you’ll need a few M6 nuts as it didn’t seem to come with them ?).whats an m6 nut?there was no bolts with the crossmember that I got, so wont the t5 crossmember bolts be useable?also after looking at the clutch and flywheel I can see that some of the bolts to connect the clutch and flywheel arent there (have 2 of 6??)should I just go to bunnings or should I contact ford because they may be special high tensile or something?cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32569-6-speed-fitting-costs/page/2/#findComment-501351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
