Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 19/05/09 11:04 AM Share Posted 19/05/09 11:04 AM Probably not the best way to ask for help.The search function is really useful...Ba To Be Bf'ed, 6 Speed Auto conversionAlan's car already had substantial modifications. If your ute is currently standard then you'd be better off trading up rather than going to the expense of fitting the ZF and everything that's required with it.

Let us know how you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems, just slip the 6sp in, works with the 4 speed computer and you can use the existing bellhousing and driveshaft.No problems mate, just do it.
