Got a pic of the back of the converter?

Put it in first and turn the input. count the revolutions it takes to turn the the output one turn

Ill do you a reco 20:1 manual box for a straight swap of your 16P box.

Pitman arm and drag link. That is it.

Late XE was the first 4 bolt. Same change date as going to saginaw from CII. Step up to the 4 bolt balancer, they go straight on and the p/s pulley is less of an ass-fuck than the 3 bolt cast version.

XT GT. You will sell them easy.

XT still had the remote booster. XW was the first model with the Master/booster combo.

Don't ever rely on the "spins same way/spins opposite way" theory. Some LSD's only work under the right circumstances i.e. traction/power.

Not that I give a fuck and most people wouldn't either, but the current position of that converter would never pass either a roadworthy or a gas compliance test. Just sayin'.

Small boot will be like a dick in a bucket on an XE console

Mark's right. XD has a smaller hole and vinyl boot. XE has the massive hole and big ugly rubber boot.

Manual was an option in XF Ghia.. But anyway I had a look at Panko's thread and he converted to manual on the first page lol.

I know it's a Ghia wagon, but I was sure it was a factory manual. I could be wrong. Same pedal box but I've never seen or heard of an XG with factory cruise.

I thought Panko's wags was factory manual? XF's never came out with cruise on manual cars. I wouldn't bother with the clutch switch unless the BF set-up demands it. I put XF cruise on my manual XdEE and it was mint but would labour at low revs. Was easier to tap the brakes to disengage cruise and change down a gear, than disengaging manually via the control buttons. Is that what the clutch switch does? Same as brakes, disengages cruise?

Pretty sure they all have it, there is just an extra hole that the switch screws into.
