I think its pretty straight forward apart from mine being a ute so will need a manual out of a ute or the tail shaft wont match. Things need to swap. - Gearbox- Loom - tail shaft- Ecu (tuner can help with that one as it should be just reprogramming the xcal to new ecu and re-flashing)- Pedal box- Gear knob and surround. Have I missed anything? I am only going on what I have researched so far.

Been done many times.Going from manual to bw 4 speed or zf auto = nightmare central. Going from bw 4 speed auto to zf 6 speed auto = nightmare as well. Been done only once as far as im aware.

Some people would notice the dash difference and be questioning it.

The VIN will clearly indicate what it left the factory as.
