This guys I will start chasing one down

Thanks for your help all gear box is in and it moves car not finished enough to drive. Just another question. What floor gear stick boot should I use. T5 in a Xe. thanks Dale

Thanks every one for there input, I will start with dex111 and. See how it shifts and then add a additive if required

Thanks Dean what additive/ what is the additive for Dale

Just a question as some times alternative oils run better than what leaves the factory. What oil grade should I be useing in a T5. It was originally out of Ed I was told going behind a cleveland thanks in advance. Dals

Hard to explain and to hard on the run to draw and post a picture on the run but as you suggested I would run a new wire and join it at the cluster plug and see how he goes.

deankdx The oil sender works resistance to ground.the ground is though the body of the sender as resistance changes oil pressure gauge changes. This being the case the wire should run from the sender to the cluster with no interference from supply or earth “””””With it unplugged at both ends, cluster check if it has +12v there( shorted to 12v).”””””””” cluster un plugged and. Wire off the oil sender depending if multi meter or just a test lamp I would check if +12v is being introduced in to the wire, wire is shorted to +12 volt Multimeter - place the black lead to earth and the red lead on the wire, if you measure 12v the the wire is shorted to +12volt. test lamp - connect the clip on the lead to earth and touch the probe on the wire, if it lights up the wire is shorted to +12v “”””””Check if is grounded to -12v (shorted to Earth)””””” Multimeter - place the red lead to +12v and the black lead to the wire, if you measure voltage the wire it is shorted to the earth. testlamp - connect the clip on the lead to the wire and and the the probe to +12v, if it lights up the wire is shorted to earth.

Just keep in mind Xd Xe have oil senders. And some dash looms have less wires(budget/basic loom) have done many dash changes, instrument panel with no issues only ever had one loom that did’t have all the loom wires. Do a resistance check from the from the sender to the to dash plug. With it unplugged at both ends, cluster check if it has +12v there( shorted to 12v). Check if is grounded to -12v (shorted to Earth)

Did these come in f100’s

The top original handle in your first photo the plastic clip that holds the rod on is from a xf (rod has a90degreee bend in it. Xd/Xe rod had a S shape bend in it and goes through the eyelet grommet that came that came on the new one. I would say the hole drilled in the new arm is to large for the xf attachment. You could always make up anew rod but I would just repair you old one

This if just the factory toe bar. The hardest part would be finding standard bumper irons

5/16???

There is a mod you can do to thelate dizzy, they bush the shaft at the base of the of the dizzy to add support. Dale

Early cleveland blocks are imperial dizzy shaft, the black block xd onwards are metric hence the difference(outside shaft diameter). You can run a late model dizzy in a in a early block, but a early dizzy wil not fit a late block. Dale
